The (h) I just bought needs an overhaul, in looking at it, trying to figure out the best way to remove the engine.I am wondering if the engine can be removed without splitting the tractor in the front, will the two frame rails supprt the front end ? or does it need to go into two halves ?
Thanks for your help in advance

Jonathan,

I'm just about ready to fire my rebuilt/restored H up for the first time.

If by "overhaul" you mean just pistons, rings, rod bearings and head work, you don't need to split the tractor. However, if you want to do the main bearings and seals, then you must split. I argue that a full overhaul will take you an extra week, but will save you time in the long run (fewer oil leaks, ability to run modern detergent oils, etc.)

I have a number of photos that I can send over to show you how I split my H with just a crane and two pieces of 2" 3/8" angle iron. Cheap, simple and safe. The engine rebuild can be done by a novice given the right tools, about 3 weeks of time, and $700.

Good luck. Your rebuild will give that old girl another 60 years of service!

I didn't think you could pull the engine from the back plate without unbolting the side rails as this plate is bolted to the engine block behind the flywheel. Alternately, if you don't remove the side rails that plate is still bolted to the bell housing. I do as one of the others said, I remove the front casting, side rails and then pull the engine off the bell housing. Roger

I always pulled the front out of the rails then take the rails off then pull the engine, I think it would be hard to pull front end with the rails on it. Hope this helps.

Hi, I have loosened up the 8 bolts that hold the front end, then after all the nessisary parts are removed, I used a cherry picker to support the front end and rails and slide the assembly out from under neath the engine. I would make sure that if you do it that way,, some one is there to help you steady it. FYI!!! after removing the starter, there is a bolt that holds the top of the block to the bell housing,, it is inside the bell housing.. I hope this helps too.. ChadS
