The hardest part is splitting the tractor to get the flywheel off, and while you are at it you might as well change the clutch if it needs it.

Once you get the flywheel off, set it clutch side down on a block of wood that is small enough for the gear to fit over. Most ring gears come off towards the clutch side, but check to be sure. If it looks like it comes off the other way, just turn the wheel over. Be sure the flywheel is solidly supported, you don't want to be chasing it around, or picking it off your toe half way through the job. Heat the gear with a torch, working evenly around it and occaisionally tapping with a small hammer until it loosens up and falls off. Turn the flywheel over and lay the new gear on it with something to hold it up. I usually lay a couple of welding rods across under it. You can also just heat it somewhere else, and pick it up and move it when it's ready. Heat the new gear carefully and evenly until it is just hot enought to melt a piece of solder laid on it, then pull out your supports and quickly tap the gear onto the flywheel. Make sure it seats tightly all the way around. I use a small hammer and a brass punch to do this.
