You can do it if you have mechanical ability and patience.

I just finished doing the clutch on my 504. The hardest part is splitting the tractor and then getting it back together. Mine has a wide front end and it is easier to keep the front half from tipping over. I used bottle jacks on the front half and then moved the back half away with a floor jack. When putting it back together, we found the front end easier to move to the back half and did it that way.

I started the project because local dealerships wanted more than $1000 in labor to do just the clutch. I did more--I changed the crank seal, clutch, pressure plate, resurfaced the flywheel, changed the bearings and replaced the brake pads for about $450 in parts, plus my time.

I had never done anything like this and managed to get it all back together.
