my mf65 was in the process of getting a clutch when i got it. it is now split with new clutch installed. how do you turn shafts to align splines as you put tractor back together? this one has multipower and both shafts can be turned
in every gear and pto position, they are disconnected from wheels or pto output.

Mike;

My mf165 has the IPTO, you can't turn the pto shaft from the back, so I put a long extension/socket on a rachet and put it on the engine crank shaft up front and turn it from there. I agree with Big Dean about the long 7/16s bolts, it works real well. Make sure you use a clutch alignment tool on it first. Good Luck.

Put the transmission in third gear the 2 speed in high. (I always used 2 long 7/16'' bolts as lineup bolts for the two parts). Move the 2 parts of the tractor together till you feel the main input shaft touch the main clutch disc. Hold the 2 parts against each other while turning the flywheel you will feel the back part of the tractor try to move when the main shaft is stabbed into the main disc. Then move the 2 parts together till you feel the pto input shaft touch the pto disc put the pto in engine speed turn the pto till the pto input shaft is stabbed into the pto disc. When it is stabbed you will not be able to turn the pto. The gap between the 2 parts has to be the same distance apart all the way around to get the shafts stabbed. If I can be of further help email me.

Totally agree with Big Dean regarding the long 7/16 bolts. We go one step further. We use springs (old clutch coil springs are ideal) on the bolts. These will apply a constant light pressure so that the two halves will join at the first opportunity. It is essential to have an equal gap all round the casings. If you are using the Splitting Rail kit that will not be a problem but if you have maybe a hoist and trolley jack, that would be more difficult.
Lastly another thing we have found works with awkward sob's is to put a tiny piece of card under the end of the inner shaft to raise it slightly. There is normally some play there. It works sometimes.

Hello Big Dean,

Good Advice from a very knowledgeable source. It's been a long time since I did much wrenching on any tractor much less an MF, but that's one of the few things I did remember. Could you give me your opinion on the 165 and 175 tractor or one in simular size. Thinking about buying something like that for use on a 80 acre farm. Not looking at color as much as dependability and size.

Jim
