Case 580 ck stuck--- solved

Thanks to all the people on the list who took time to shot ideas. Even though some of them were very scary possibilities. It really is amazing to be able to bounce ideas around. I am back up and operational. In the end the countershaft bolt on the countershaft gear on the forward clutch side worked it's way out. The entire countershaft gears slid an inch or so out of alignment with the clutches jamming them into place. When I changed out my clutch packs I put that bolt on with impact and that was that. Well I guess I didn't put enough on it. I had to split the machine at the tranny, pull the countershaft gear out, and remove the clutch. Put it all back in after inspecting everything all is good, just a few scratched up gear teeth. I manure that bolt with impact and then put the torque wrench in it. It went way farther in with proper torque. Put it all back together, fired right up. Filled it with a crap load of fluids and bam back to work. No parts, just a bear if a job to do in the field.
Again,
Thank you all

Congratulations! too bad about all the extra work but at least you dodged the parts bullet. Just curious what are you running for pressure on you impact wrench. I was taking wheels off my truck, and it wouldn't loosen two of the lug nuts. Then I remembered that I had reduced the pressure for painting.
 
I used my electric dewalt that is supposed to be 55-60 pounds. I have two ports on my air compressor. One high port that has half inch for the big daddy 2500 2 inch impactor and a separate port with a digital gauge to reduce down for painting with an oil seperstorvand filte. Went a little nuts making the manifold.

" I manure that bolt with impact..."

Obviously 'auto-correct' at work there. What word did you
want to use? 😂
 

Yeah, I couldn't figure that one out either.

I was going to suggest Loctite, maybe that is manure-ing the bolt LOL
