overhauling 656 gas

Posted by karl f on October 06, 2003 at 19:59:50 from (64.94.14.80):

at a rut, on a tight budget, and have little equipment (tools etc.). 656 gas needs the overhaul bad.
partsman says "crank must come out" I&T manual says "tractor must be split" and "remove sleeves with a suitable puller."
borrowing a neighbor's shed, no overhead beams...
need advice and poorman's setup (but one that works good) for splitting the tractor and then removing the sleeves. no rental place in the area has sleeve pullers!!! borrowed shop is on a short time schedule as well...
how hard to handle is the 6 cyl block? are the front assemlies really awkward/unbalanced when split?
btw it is wide front farmall model. located east of st cloud mn. feel free to email direct .
it's my first overhaul ever...
thanks for the forthcoming help!
