“Had to split it so that I could access the throw-out bearing in the clutch area. In my case there were two roll-pins that attached the fork to the shaft. One of these roll-pins was smaller than the other and was inside the second roll-pin. I ended up removing the remains of these roll-pins and drilling the hole out to 1/4 inch diameter. Then I placed a 1/4 stainless steel bolt and lock nut in place of the pins. This has worked fine for several years since.”
That is exactly the point I've been trying to emphasize. If this hasn't happened to you and only the exterior roll pins have sheared, keep the “weak link” on the outside. Do not drill out and install a bolt on the outside unless you have already split the tractor and did what Paul did.
