Not unusual, the clutch might be dragging just enough to keep it spinning. Make sure you don't have excess freeplay in the clutch pedal. Can also be the pilot bearing going bad or already bad and spinning the input shaft.

Not positive, but I think you might be able to get by just taking off the cylinder bracket.
Lavoy

Will do.

Shoot me an email at postmaster@jdcrawlers.com when you get a chance.

Normally keep all the parts on hand, I think I have a parts manual on hand too.
Lavoy

Yes, I have a OEM service manual on hand, do you need parts as well?
Lavoy

Not the most fun piece to remove, they are usually kind of rusted in place. You will have to pull the rear cover gasket to hold the ring gear on reassembly, so I always remove it, and try and tap on the quill from the inside out.
Lavoy

Either the pinion shaft in the final drive or the carrier seal in the rear end. Oil can not be cleaned from clutch discs, they must be replaced.
Lavoy

I feel your pain.
Lavoy

THey are tapped 5/8" NC, clean the threads out, screw a short bolt in, drive them out with a long punch from the outside in, or use a hollow ram porta power.
Lavoy

I would pull the trans top cover first and see if you see or can feel any other bad bearings or gears. If so, only way to fix is complete tear down til you only have the trans case left, then rebuild the trans.
Lavoy

Sprockets are more likely to be worn by the tracks, not the other way around. If one is shot, both are likelly shot.
Lavoy

If it quits when the clutch pedal is pushed in, that is normally the input shaft bearing that is shot, but could be other bearing/s in the trans as well.
Lavoy

Fitting is silver soldered or crimped in, it should not turn.

Andy,
You have an immediate need for the pieces, I don't, I'm just working on future projects.
