Thanks for responding. I've split a couple tractors with a buddy who helped me with this. We're no professional mechanics but we're not spring chickens either. First time putting it back together gave us trouble, pulled it back apart, ordered a new pilot bearing and made sure there was no burs on any splines. Everthing looked good, second time we put it back together we were able to push it within a 1/4 inch and EASILY draw it into with the bellhousing bolts. NOT with an impact, with a wrench. So yes there was trouble the first time where things got tight but we didnt force it, called it quits replaced the pilot bearing since the first one got boogered a little bit and it went back together well the second time. This tractor is my grandfather's, hes had it since about 1975. Road hard to say the least. I'm sure it was on the baler earlier in it's life, the last 5-10 years its done more light duty work like pulling a grain drill or spraying. But I use it to pickup bales with a New Holland 1033, thats about the most abuse it sees nowadays. Grandfather does keep up with maintaince very well so god knows when the last time the hydraulic oil and stuff was changed.

I've already drilled the center of the bolt out with about 7/64" drill bit the entire length of the bolt. Only one end of the bolt is visible. I tried to use an easy out but it wasn't budging and I didn't want t
