I?m new to this forum. Working on a 1973 mf 50A with an instant reverse clutch pack. I tore the entire thing apart and replaced all the clutch disks and clutch plates because the fella I picked it up from said the forward gears went out. The transmission parts came to me all thrown in a box and I?m putting it back together with the manual for reference. I?m stuck on getting the input shaft to slide down over the output shaft and securing it with the locking ring. The input shaft won?t slide down far enough. I can?t pull the hub up any higher than it is because it?s secured to the output shift at a certain point with a c-clip. There doesn?t appear to be anything preventing the shafts from sliding together the way they should be. Any ideas for the new guy on the block? Any help would be greatly appreciated. See pictures for reference.
