: After bushhogging for about 3 hours today, I was : unable to get the transmission in gear without gnashing : the gears. The PTO won't disengage either. Seems to me : that I'm in for a clutch job. I have the Ford : 8N manual, and some other literature, but am really nervous : about doing this myself, versus laying out the $400 or so : to have the local Ford shop do the work. Haven't ever done one, so : I am looking for some advice, tips, etc. Are there any special : tools I need, or pitfalls to look out for? Bob, the biggest problem with a clutch job is that you have to split the tractor in two. This requires some way to support one end of the tractor and be able to slide away the other end to access the clutch. I don't think you need any special tools, maybe a clutch alignment tool at the most. I put a clutch in my Cub a couple years ago, but they are all similar in design. It is a little nervous, I agree, because you are dealing with pretty heavy peices of equipment, and you don't want aything falling over. If you don't feel confident, you might want to farm it out to somebody. Randy
