People, I have a 1940 to 1944 Farmall H. It has been very good to me. I have converted it to 12 Volts and put a bucket on the front. Nevermind!
I had it in the woods a year ago and the tranny locked up on me. With the front of it towards the brush pile, I could not get it to go anyway but forard. It was in a too high of gear. I jacked up the back of the floor pan and was able to get it in a lower forward gear. With the help of a truck, pulling me backwards, I was able to get the tractor back to the barn. By that time, I was able to shift gears, but as I would pull forward, a loud cluncking sound would happen every revolution of the tranny gears. I got the floor pan back together, but the sound kept on being present.
I used it one more time, and when I was putting it away, the tranny locked on me. It would run while I had my foot on the clutch, but when I would release the clutch, it would die. I figured that I have a broken tooth stuck in the gear teeth in the tranny.
I am trying to pull the floor pan all the way off to investigate, but I cannot get the floor pan off. All the bolts are out, the seat is off, it has a side fly gear, and I am trying to hoist the whole mechanism off the tractor from the front so that it does not wedge the set pins. Every bolt is loose except for the two bolts that were threaded from down below by the fly gears in front. I thought if those are holding it then this was a bad design. I did not have a manual that would show me the mechanics of this assembly so I tried to cut these upside down bolts off, thinking that they would have been screwed in place before the two halves of the tractor were connected together. Blue torched them out and still no release on the front off the floor pan to expose the tranny gears.
HELP ME PLEASE with any advice to take the floor pan off the rest of the way, to get to the real problem in the gear box, short of taking the tractor apart in two halves.
