dont believe so, because the flywheel needs to be removed to get crank out(its that way in my 300 RC).

The easiest way to split a tractor (besides taking it to a mechanic) is to jack the front of the tractor slightly to lift weight off of the front tires, then put a hefty jack stand under the clutch housing, then lower the jack to put the weight on the stand.(at this point i already had the tin, radiator, cyl. head, and manifold off) Then hook somthing op to the steering pedestal, unbolt it, and slowly lower it to the ground out of the way (I accidentaly dropped mine, it didnt brake anything, but it fell right in my way). then, i removed the belly pan and oil pump, and rolled my floor transmission jack under the engine, place a couple of 2by4's on the jack, and jacked it up to get snug against the engine. then remove the frame rails and all engine bolts (i removed the starter too) making sure that all the weight of the enginge is on the jack (or hoist if you have one) and you should be able to slide the engine straight back(forward), make sure that the engine is chained to the jack, however, because mine almost fell atop me. after removing engine, take off the clutch bolts and remove the clutch. then you can take the four flywheel retaining bolts off and remove the flywheel. you then have access to the rear of the crank shaft. if you need to remove the whole crank, please look in a manual, because my fingers are getting tired ;).

ps. make sure anything connected to the engine that is connected to any other part of the tractor is removed. What was stated above is the way i went about removing the engine from my 300 RC. I hope ive helped a little
