[TR] transmission installation

[Alex&Janet Thomson]

Be very careful about pulling things together with bolts. When marrying the front and back half of 150 HP farm tractors together after a clutch job, I have learned the hard way that things should go together with people power, rather than threaded assistance. (Yes, we were using wheeled dollies – not holding the rear half of the tractor in our arms)  If the pressure plate has been removed, either make or purchase a pilot shaft tool to align the clutch disk. I know that we all have horror stories about rejoining major components, especially when we were young and didn’t know any better. Now we are older and still don’t …

we had trouble getting it in that last inch.  I bought some 1/4” bolts long enough to go all the way through the holes.  that pulled it in the last inch.  I also found that unbolting the driveshaft from the differential then setting it up on the diff gave me some extra maneuvering room.  its just 4 bolts.  you can also remove the plugs and turn the engine from below by the fan.  btw – its hell to put those things in.  I wouldn’t do it myself.
