Original - dont know the year for sure early to mid 60’s probably.

All 3 bolts to the frame have been removed, and the link from the clutch pedal is removed also.

I would think it should just separate at this point.

Serial number 14857

Pretty user unfriendly design for when that drive belt needs to change, ask me.

Ive got the tractor vertical to work standing up and its still a pain.

What a mess you have there! Some goof has jury rigged that poor thing. The cotter key, collar with setscrews thing is not correct. That has to come off before anything else.

The manual will help a lot too.

Think that set screw collar is supposed to be there. This is the cross section breakdown in the chassis manual. Think its an older design then those replacement parts.

Well I got it off, but still trying to figure out how to make sure the clutch works. Looks like I need to put the assembly in the press.

Did not seem to disengage when I had a rolling machine still.

This whole machine is a mess. Wheel spindles all jacked up cause no bearings where in the wheel hubs. The main steering link to the column arm was bent.

Gonna have to filler weld the shafts, then turn them back down - probably by hand cause I dont think a typical lathe would handle the out of balance load.

Look what came out of the wheel hubs.

You obviously know more than I do, so I'll just scroll along. :cubwinker:
