Hey y'all! I've got a 1948 Avery Model A tractor that I'm about to pull the engine on due to it being locked up. My question is do I separate the engine at the bell housing and just pull the engine, or pull the engine and bell housing as one unit? And how far forward do I need to move the engine in order to clear the crankshaft from the clutch before coming up with it? Thanks for the help!

Id pull it all as one unit. Theres a roll pin holding the u-joint to the output shaft splines- or at least there was at one time- to be aware of. Lining up the clutch and bellhousing is a lot easier on the bench than in the tractor!

Good Luck (especially finding that starter...)!
 
Thanks for the input. I ended up pulling the engine, bell housing, drive shaft (separated at the transmission splined shaft), and the entire clutch rod and pedal (pin was rusted in place at the pedal) as one unit. Was a bit more of a pain than expected, but easier in the long run than trying to work in limited space freeing up rusted parts. Now on to the engine tear-down.
Oh, and I did find a starter (finally!); just need to get it tested to make sure it works.
