Allright thanks guys! We worked on it today and got it out. He already had the sheet metal removed when I got over there, so I helper him drain the radiator and remove the tank and a couple other things. We put a jack under the transmission housing,and put the engine hoist on the lifting bolt on the head. Took out all the bolts and left the 4 bolts to the frame in, but backed out 1/2" and then with him on one side and me on the other, we rocked the tires back & forth till it wiggled off the dowel pins. Took the bolts out the rest of the way and it pulled right apart. Set the frame down on 2 jackstands, pulled out the 4 bolts holding the engine to the frame and then lifted it out, after putting a stand under the very front of the frame to keep it from tipping up & over. Got the engine out of the way, bolted the frame back to the transmission, and then removed the pressure plate & flywheel and bolted it to the stand. Had everything from when I mounted my 1600's engine to the same stand, so it mounted right on using the same bolts and extensions I used. That's all the farther it is right now, so now we've gotta start assessing what's al;l gotta be done to the rest of the tractor. The engine had the top end rebuilt, but it needs to have the new crankshaft installed. The clutch disk is covered in oil/grease so we've gotta figure out where that came from. I did ntice the input shafts going to the transmission seemed to have quite a bit of play- are they supposed to be that sloppy? Could gear oil be coming out between the 2 shafts and getting on the clutch? The pilot bearing and the other one both need to be replaced, but the pressure plate and flywheel don't have any kind of grooves worn in them. Just greasy. Donovan from Wisconsin
