Yes I did get it turned. I did put a come along on, and put two bolts back in the sprocket hub and put a pipe between them and turned it. You can not turn it without the come along helping. I got it apart and have the steering clutch out and waiting for parts. I reckon I will get back together somet...

Yes Yes Yes I do have a split link. Where is the best place to position it to take apart? In front of the drive sprocket? To bad I am not working on the other side, that is where it is at. That will save a lot work and frustration.

According to the manual it says you have to break the track and remove drive sprocket. Sad to say. I do not have 50 ton porta power that they speak of in the manual. I saw a comment on y-tube of taking the torch and split the link beside the pin, then weld it back when you put it back. Is there only...

I sucked the oil out of the clutch housing, hooked my air hose to the oil line and air is coming out of the clutch housing. I reckon that means the seal is bad. Is that correct? If so is there an easy way to split the track? Is there a master link or can I split it anywhere? That could be a problem ...

Well I have the cover off the steering clutch. Is it suppose to be 3/4 full of fluid? If it is how do You know if there is a leak in there? I am at a stand still now.

The manual does have a diagram of the steering clutch, but does not tell how to get to it. I have started to remove the hydraulic tank. Not an easy job. You have all the hydraulic lines to break. I'm going to keep pecking away at it.

I am not too sure of that. I have a JD combine repair manual and it tells you step by step how to dismantle and put back together. I will look, I do not have the manual here with me now, but by looking at it that's the way it looks.

Yes for a TM I think it is very poor. I don't see any external leakage. I'm thinking it is a hose or a seal. I suppose you have to pull the fuel and hydraulic tank to get to them. Is that correct? I took the middle cover off and found it got me to the ring and pinion, which did not help. This was be...

Thank You for responding to my problem. Where are these hoses they mention. I have a tech manual but I can't find a thing about them. I see them in the parts catalog, but don't know where they are.

I have problem with my 555. It won't drive on the right side. I think it drives some til the pull gets harder. If I hit the left brake it stops going forward. Sometimes it will drive on the right if there is a low pull. I plan on working on it myself, but I don't where to start. Does anyone know wha...
