Dr. Bert said: (quoted from post at 17:08:31 02/07/12) Tractor Vet: Are the holes in the clutch housing countersunk so that more than a 1/4 inch of bolt sticks through or into the backing plate. Is there enough wobble in the bolts to let the rear end of the block sag while rolling it forward and possibly breaking the front engine supports? In other words, are the top and bottom bolts on the rear of the frame rails dedicated only to secure the backing plate to the rails, or is the backing plate threaded to hold the block while rolling it forward and gettingenough room to insert the bolts that have been remove?[/quote:059e2ec2d4]

Nothing unless you don't take the bolts all the way out.
