I just split my MF135 diesel dual clutch to install a new clutch. Installed the clutch using the transmission input shafts as an alignment tool. The Transmission and tractor came together very easily at first. The larger PTO drive shaft has engaged its" splines in its" clutch disc but the driveshaft seems to be hanging up in its" disc splines. The engine and transmission are about 1 1/4 apart and parallel to each other. We have tried wiggling the tranny and turning the engine over. Does anyone have any tricks to getting everything lined up? This is driving me to drink! Many thanks, Kevin.

Hi Kevin,
We've been down the road to drink as well when they won't go together.
Think we understand your problem but feel that trying to assemble the clutch on the input shafts is going to be difficult. Do you have the three slave screws in the clutch cover?
Have you stripped the clutch unit to replace the pto plate?
Assuming that the cover is fitted to the flywheel with both plates lined up with the spiggot bearing and the slave bolts removed, the engine should slide into place. It is possible to damage the end of the splines of one or both plates by continual turning of the engine with the transmission in gear or by turning the pto shaft with a screwdriver or similar if you have a mechanical pto.
This damage will prevent engagement.
Assuming that all the above is OK cut some wedges in wood and place on top of the axle to be able to adjust the engine to vertical.
We use long bolts 7/16 UNC with old clutch springs on, fitted to either sides to give a little assistance to engagement. If you are sure that the engine is square in both planes to the bell housing then minor movement of the pto shaft should start engagement.
If not Multi power engage high gear and turn engine at the flywheel through the starter hole.
Some go easily some not, be patient. When they do engage do not under any circumstances "tighten" the two together. When the gap reduces to about 1/4" make sure the dowel alignment is correct. Check the clutch pedal to make sure that the release bearing is not preventing closure. You can fit a couple of bolts on either side hand tight. Waggle the engine and follow up with the bolts as the gap narrows.
Good luck. Come back if you need any more help

Thanks for your words of wisdom. Will try on Mon. and report back. I just used the transmission input shaft to align clutch on flywheel and then re-installed it on the transmission. On closer inspection, engine and transmission are not quite parallel-will carefully adjust using bolts/springs. Cheers Kevin.

Go to the "Massey" section (top of this page) and pose the question for "Big Dean". MF-135's and larger are his cup of tea. He's the best there is. Has his own website as well. Best I can do. LOL..... ....
