Not a problem, I’m just delighted that you are staying with me and checking me. I believe that I’m heading down to the shop and try moving the “shovel bracket welding” unit (I’ve heard it called a ‘c frame’) ahead a couple inches. Any idea how much the final drive and steering clutch box might weigh? And I still haven’t quite got the swing shaft/clutch box clearance situation figured out. Will the undercarriage frame assembly move sideways?
Perhaps I was using wrong vocabulary, I am under the impression I need to separate the “steering clutch case” from the transmission case, and the final drive assembly will come with off with it. Please correct me if I am wrong on this. Thanx again.
Yes, I am on a concrete floor, however I don’t own a transmission jack, do have a substantial floor jack. Still uncertain how to get necessary clearance at swing shaft. Thought I might be able to use front end loader on tractor to support final drive when I get ready to separate final drive from trans. Thanks so much for your support.
Alrighty, I removed the tracks, saddlebags, sprockets, adjusting rods, etc.. Now I’m looking at the swing shaft/brake box clearance situation. It appears that there could be more that one way to approach this problem, and I very well could be mistaken about that. Any guidance on how to proceed at this point would be greatly appreciated. Thanks
Walked the crawler a mile from my neighbors to my shop, primarily using backhoe to steer the machine. Had all the adjustment rods screwed in short as possible, did get a little clutch action by the time I got home. Preparing to pull finals, hope I’m not getting over my head. Luck and myself don’t get together very often. Also noticed that the stud bolts holding transmission to bellhousing have backed out of transmission completely.
thanks for your reply, I am referring to the arm on top of the case. I do have pedals that go thru the floor. I do have both operator and parts manual. I did read your posts from 2011 about removing the final drives. I just want to make sure that I am not missing something before I begin that process.
