I'm getting ready to rebuild my A4-203 Perkins engine on my MF65, and I'm wondering if there is anything tricky about removing the flywheel. I can't find any reference to specific instructions in my MF shop manual or on my Big Dean Massey CD, so I'm assuming I just unbolt it and pull it off. Also I assume I need to get the flywheel and transmission adapter plate off before I mount this puppy on the the engine stand. Is that correct?

I would assume it is the similar to the gas. I pulled all the bolts and it refused to budge. I placed something underneath it to catch it (large closed top box) and smacked it once with a soft faced hammer. It popped on the first tap. It is extremely heavy and the fingers retaining the air ring look like they could be easily broken. It pretty much smashed the box. I can imagine what it would have done to a toe! Be safe Aaron

Hi, no problem in taking it off but remember it's heavy. Refitting is simple. There is an extra hole. It is a good idea to have a neat fitting rod in this hole and line it up with the hole in the crank. You can then slide the flywheel into place while an assistant fits a couple of bolts. Check the face of the flywheel. If there is any scoring it will need to be machined. Any amount of metal removed from the face MUST also be removed from the shoulder that the clutch sits on.
Also check the starter ring. Now is the time to replace it if it needs to be done.

Just to note: flywheel came right off no problem, but I didn't feel comfortable mounting the engine on the engine stand with the small bolt holes in the block. I chose instead to put the engine/transmission adapter plate back on the engine and mount it to the stand that way.

Question is, will I be able to get the crank out with the plate still on the engine? If not, then I guess I could strip the engine down as far as possible to just the block and crank then pull it off the stand to remove the crank and take both to the machine stop for dipping and surfacing. Any thoughts?
