Advice pulling steering clutches on TD18A

I am in the process of putting my '51 TD 18A clutches back in now. You don't have to have a press to take the clutches apart, only if you are going to disassemble the center hub and spring assembly.

I would take it apart first in order to see what parts you are going to need before I would buy anything. I found that mine only needed the rust and gunk cleaned out of them to free them up so they will disengage.

I have an original IH service manual for this tractor, and I think you are really going to need one in order to understand how the drive from the ring and pinion disconnects from the clutches. I will be glad to copy and mail or fax the pages covering what you need if you want them.

Email me if you want me to do this.

Have a press, there is a big spring in there and you have to compress it a bit to get it a part.

You know of someone with a bead blaster ect they can bead blast the parts and you may not need new parts.

You might be cheaper with a replacement than taking it a part and having to find the parts.

I made the link on your stuff but forgot to put your TD18A pictures out there. Will try to get that done tonight.

I should have the new message boards up soon

Thanks
