On that tractor there is a procedure fot tightening the flywheel and it is different than for the open flywheel types. You have a nut on the end of the crankshafy to pull the flywheel in where on the ones without you just pushed it in with the clamping bolts loose. That nut is supposed to have a spot that is bent into a notch on the crank to keep it from turning, you have to pry it up to release the lock feature then back it off. Now loosen the clamping bolts, now you should be able to move the flywheel by hand. Now is the time to tighten that big nut on the end of crank, do not set the lock, tighten the clamp bolts. We would have to use a cheater bar on a 1/2" breaker bar, when they are as tight as you can get them (just guessing as we did not have a torque wrench at that time they would be over 150 ft lb) Now you go back to the big nut on crankshaft and finnishing the tightening, might be just a tine fraction of a turn or a full turn, then use a punch to set the lock back in notch on shaft. Have clutch disengaged while doing this, then readjust the clutch.
