Earlier this past spring I posted about my 5288 IH that ran rough. After pulling the head off, there were broken rings in 2 holes and 2 damaged liners. I've decided to do a complete overhaul instead of an in-frame (because my labor's cheap and I want to do it complete) so I'll be splitting the tractor. Everything is disconnected and the tractor is ready to be split. I have a repro. shop manual but it says nothing about how to remove and/or install the motor. Like some advice from someone who's done this. I see the two frame rails that meet the transmission housing with a flange and 2 capscrews on each side. Between this flange and the transmission housing is a large plate, perhaps 1.5" thick. It looks to me that the motor, frame rails, and this 1.5" plate stay together and separate from the trans. housing. Is that correct and do I need to worry about any shaft alignments in this area? There is a cover at the bottom of this plate that looks like it leads into the transmission. It seems to me that I'll be taking that plate with the motor so the question becomes, do I have to drain the transmission before I make the split? I am thinking that once I have the split done, the motor will slide rearward out from the frame rails and I can handle it from there. Just want to make sure I am splitting it correctly to avoid any heavy things dropping inadvertently. Many thanks for any voices of experience here. I'd be happy to return the favor if anyone here needs any help or advice on Ollies. Thanks!

The whole experience can be marred if one moves too fast and makes too many assumptions that they can just use "as is" some parts they should be closely scrutinizing and possibly attended to.
