Thanks to Jim and tractor vet and those who responded to my question regarding pulling out a Super M clutch shaft without splitting. I did exactly what Jim suggested. Got 3 bolts 5/16" NF, 1 1/4" long and threaded them into the PP to collapse the springs--had to go a long way with them. With the PP collapsed and loose from the flywheel I had just enough room to tilt everything up and over the tranny input shaft and push the clutch shaft out of the disk. It had to go up and not down as I couldn't tilt the PP the way I wanted to. Already had the new parts and put it all back together in about an hour. Everything is perfect now. I double-checked the tightness of all the bolts to prevent a repeat. I certainly am glad my SM doesn't have a belly pump to mess with. Now I have to continue fixing hyd. leaks on my 450G, replace clutch and IPTO shaft on my 560, do a clutch on a 400G, reinstall injection pump on my 450D and continue cleaning that tractor. Too many projects and not enough daylight. As least my old B isn't to demanding Thanks again, Chris B.
