Craig,

Get a service manual from Binder books. Its wroth the money. You need a set of good jack stands for the front and a rolling one for the back to split the tractor. A cherry picker is handy too to handle the middle section, because it is heavy. When you split it you need to put something in the drawer bar to keep the rear end from tipping back. The TA I would try Steelwheel Ranch. Since you are that deep I would redo the clutches while you are there. May save you some time down the road. Use HY-Tran, 90 weight is too heavy to lube it and it works fine in my 400. After you are done, be sure to pull the handle back, (TA in low side) when you shut the engine off. If the engine kicks back it sends a terrible shock through the TA and it doesn’t matter if you have the new style or old style, if will put flat spots on the ramp and rollers and you will be doing this again.
