I just had my d282 rebuilt and I put the engine back into the tractor,
got it running, but when I pushed in the clutch and tried to put it in
gear it would not go into gear, I then adjusted the clutch and TA to
how the manual says to, and nothing changed. Any help? Thanks!

I knew a guy that had a problem like that. He split the tractor and found he had put the clutch plate in backwards! I hope your solution is easier than that.

As Lee said is likely. You can measure before putting it back together to tell where the Clutch release bearing will be with respect to the clutch fingers. You measure ahead from the extended clutch release bearing surface to the line across the bellhousing mating surface. Then you measure back from the engine mating surface to a line across the fingers. This is a check on where your parts are but unfortunately it doesn't reveal a clutch disc in backwards.

Lee since you and I are so close here in Tennessee very odd but that was my first response, I know a guy that did the very same thing. Took it to two different dealers thinking it was adjusted wrong and drug it all over the country trying to un-stick it. When we tore it down he had the disk where the big hub was preventing it from working or as you say in backwards.

It happens...

As said, can be the disc in backwards.

Does the pedal feel right? Just a little free play at top, then firm spring tension all the way down?

Was the pilot bearing replaced or checked? A frozen pilot bearing will cause the clutch to not release.

It can also be caused by a defective pressure plate, or a warped pressure plate. When tightening the cover screws they need to be equally pulled down a little at a time until tight.

And it is possible to damage the disc during the engine stabbing process. It is essential the engine meets the bell housing without being forced by tightening the bolts. It is also easy to damage the pilot bearing by doing such. The weight of the engine should not be allowed to hang by the input shaft. If this is a dual clutch, an alignment tool is a necessity.

It's good practice to do a trial fit of the disc on the input shaft to be sure it slides freely, fits properly, and no wear on the shaft that can influence the position of the disc on the shaft.

I would split the tractor instead of pulling engine out. I can have mine split in an hr. for a clutch job.
