It's not hard at all. Like you said there are about 9 million things you have to take off just to get the lid off. Here's hoping you don't need the torch at all. :shock: Some of those lid bolts can rust and break off or just be REALLY tight.
Use the shop crane (somehow) or a buddy to get the lid off bc you have to go straight up with it so you don't bend the shift forks. The crane would also help you set it down easily while aligning the shift forks. It is really a three man deal to put it back on, but I did it with two.
There is nothing tricky or easy to forget that I can think of once in there. IIRC there are two different constant mesh gears though. I didn't take mine apart that far. I only took the top shaft off. I moved the bottom shaft to check for bearing play and I was happy enough with that.
It will look something like this when you get in there.
I would check out the balls and springs that hold the shift stuff in gear. The springs like to rust apart and break. Obviously, check out the bearings and make sure none of them are bad. I am not the type to replace them "just for fun" but some are. I did replace all the seals while it was apart. You may have done this before you painted it. I would suggest a local bearing shop rather than IH if you need seals and bearings. Mine usually is half of what CNH charges.

It was on one such Saturday in the early 1940's when Sam was 16 years old that he ended up in Dennison, Kansas to watch a demonstration of a new tractor being put on by a local dealer.
