I split a td series tractor to put a PTO drive shaft in it. Anyway, I bought a book, I think I may have just downloaded it. It was huge, not free, and very comprehensive. It gave me step by step by step to do the job. It was surely time consuming but the book and detailed instruction was well worth the money.

Yes and they are a royal pain to work on its been a long time since I did one but I hope I never have to do it again If you don?t have the service manual Get one

I agree 100% with the others. I split my David Brown 990 to put in a rebuilt clutch and to redo the engine 9 years ago and I would have been lost without the manual. With the manual it was very easy, even for a guy like me with no experience beyond changing the oil.

It's important to have the right tools.
Here are a few that I like to keep handy when I split a tractor.
Good luck.

What!!!!--No cutting torch?---Tee

Uhmm....I don't see the Fetzer valve tool, or the 40 weight ball bearings. C'mon, it's all ball bearings nowadays.

thanks ultradog laid my tools out but had to substitute hammers for rocks hand saw for chainsaw hand gun for 12 ga. and last but not least ductape thanks for the help.

You forgot the dynamite, brother. gm

I haven't split this model, but son and I have split 9000 and TW10 with cabs and AC to replace clutches. In both cases, we used a homemade rectangular welded box like support beneath the cast engine oil pan. The splitting stand was fitted with commercial scaffold wheels and used 2X wood pieces at the top to make contact with the oil pan casting. We did need to separate the power steering lines and brake lines, but not the AC lines. The cab stays with the rear section. We rolled the engine section forward about 12" and that gave enough room to change the clutch parts and pull the flywheel if it needs resurfacing. I made a clutch plate alignment tool on my lathe which helps it go together much easier. We welded up the splitting "box" frame and finished the split by noon of the same day. I hope your loader is a quick detach model so you can get it out of the way easily. Be sure to wedge the front bolster against the axle housing before the actual split so the engine can not rock sideways. Take a lot of pictures for reference when reassembling.

Good luck, work carefully and know that it can be done (even on a dirt floor with a couple sheets of plywood).
