Tractor Split - Gosh I'm Tired

When I opened the bell housing I found pieces of clutch disk in the bottom.
And it was all soaked in oil. Everything just soaked.
Took the pressure plate off to inspect the flywheel.
It has some wear on it but otherwise looks great.
Them bolts holding the PP on were tighter than 25ft-lbs.
Are ya'll sure that is how tight they go back on there?

Got any tips for putting this thing back together?
Lining it all back up and pushing it together won't be as easy.

One more day like today and I will be finished.
Total time changing a clutch: 2 days.
And most of that was setup for the come-along.
If I had a garage to work in I probably could be done by now.

I wanna thank everybody for the great instructions for doing this.
It made this go a lot easier than if I had to figure it out on my own.

And gosh, I sure am tired after such a long day.

I too like the suggestion about using longer bolts. Anything to ease the assembly of the halves will be beneficial.

Good luck,

I left the starter on the tractor to split it.
But it looks like it will have to be removed before un-splitting it.

I hope a new tranny seal fixes all that oil.
I couldn't believe how much oil was in the bell housing.

Thanks.

Save yourself some aggravation and hit the edges of the splines in the new clutch disk with a small file. Just hit the high spots and the edges where the transmission input shaft goes in. Five minutes of filing will save you many minutes of yanking and pulling trying to get the input shaft inthe disk. If the input shaft has any dings or high spots hit them too. It does make a big difference.
