Am going to remove this aftermarket Behlin OD unit and was wondering if there is anything I should be watching out for and what the procedure would be. Flywheel has to come off first but don't want to get too ambitious befor gathering some information about what I'm in for. Once it is off, is there anything that needs to be added other than the original cover? Thanks, Bob

I would think twice before removing it. If you ever want to take it on a tractor drive it allows you to keep up with the rest. I took mine on a drive last year and every one was amazed at the extra speed it gives.

Yes the trans shaft are longer. I have that setup on my 39 A. I think it's neat just to have it on there for looks if nothing else. However you do have to be careful when starting it or you risk the chance of getting your knuckles tore up.

It's my understanding that the tranny shafts were also changed ? Sounds like a big job to remove. There are people looking for those so they can run on the road parades and keep up with the other brands.
