Hello to all....I've began fixin up a '50 8N I picked up about 6 months ago. It's not a pretty sight at the moment....Anyway...my question deals with the looseness allowed for the tranny input shaft...I had to split the tractor to see why the clutch wasn't workin...and I noticed the tranny input shaft has some looseness to it..(mainly side to side)....I noticed this when I gave it a little shake...It has enough wobble to make contact with the inside of the clutch release bearing...

Is this acceptable or does it need attention?
Also..whats a good way to keep the crank from turnin' when I'm puttin in the new clutch??

PS..I'll post a pic soon just in case ya'll wanna peek at my little project...

Thanks as always for ya'lls help...
Tommy

Tommy..... ...great way to keep crankshaft from turning is to stuff some soft 1/4" cotton rope down any sparkie hole. The crank will push the piston up against the rope and then stop turning. Works eather way to install or remove.

Since your looking at a cantlievered front tranny input shaft, its gonna shake untill you support the end of tranny shaft with the crankshaft pilot bearing. Basically, you're worring about nuttin..... ....Dell

Tommy..... ..nutter tip: remove the 4-bolts thats holding the tranny input shaft/sleeve and use the tranny input shaft as a clutch centering device ...AND... replace your tranny input shaft seal inside the sleeve at the same time ($3 cheap)..... ....Dell
