Cub Transmission Shaft

Posted by Roger46 on May 30, 2006 at 19:26:39 from (69.58.143.134):

A week or so ago I wrote a question about the gap between the transmission upper shaft and the PTO shaft on a Farmall Cub. I learned a hard lesson about working on these old tractors (even though this is my 6th tractor). Don't trust that the tractor was assembled correctly by the previous "mechanic" who worked on it. I installed the new transmission shaft input seal just like it was when I took it apart. Turns out this seal assembly had been previously installed backwards. With this seal assembly backwards it doesn't hold the input bearing in place and the transmission shaft has about 1/4 inch play (thus the large gap between the transmission shaft and the PTO shaft). Now I have to take the tractor back apart. In the manual it says that the tractor can be split at the front of the transmission. Are there any problems doing this if I support the tractor like they say in the manual and roll the back section away from the front (clearing the long transmission input shaft)? Roger
