As this is my first rodeo on steering clutches I thought I would do one side first than the other should be a breeze.... right? :roll: I do not have the clutch gauge. Spose I should start looking for one. I think I remember in my quest for knowledge on the webernet seeing some references to measurem...

So I have identified from one source that the thickness on the fibre plates are suppose to be 180 thousandths which is exactly what I have but I have also found another site that says it should be 177 thousandths. If the latter is true and I find all my plates are at 180 then it would suggest I have...

I have ordered and received a set of gauges that I believe I can make work, with accuracy, on my JD350-B and they also have the look and feel of original JD gauges.... though they are not. I had determined that all the original gauges are completely foo barred and that there won't be any way to rese...

Yes... it is my understanding that at least one fibre ring should be to the inside of the snap ring.... I question if there actually should be two. There is some adjustment remaining (about 50%) in the pressure plate fingers and I hadn't thought about taken that out yet. I would like to find out wha...

Okie dokie. Got the clutch pressure plate and plates removed. Upon first inspection I recognized that the fingers of the pressure plate were fully depressed and remained that way when I pulled it off. I was able to use some pb blaster on it and work them loose again and after doing so they returned ...

Hi dtools, Yeah... been thinking in the back of my mind what the reinstall is going to be like. I think I have a good solution which includes using the long bolts again for alignment. I have a hydraulic vertical lift on wheels that I'm thinking may work just right but will need to move the track on ...

..... Where's my theme from Space Odyssey 2001 I have tasted success.... And it is good! So.... I have managed to remove the final drive from one side in it's entirety. After getting over the hurdle of whether or not I was going to crush some portion of my bod, making me just a grease spot under the...

I'm still trying as well. No luck yet dtools, there is this single one in PA at a very good price. I would purchase it but I think the shipping would be more than the item... take a look... it may work for you... https://pittsburgh.craigslist.org/tls/d/large-snatch-block/6234986225.html You're right...

Sweet! I'll check 'em out.

I'd like to find a good 8" or greater diameter snatch block!

dtools1... I've been looking for a 'right' time to insert this particular comment and you have given me the perfect segway! We affectionately refer to Harbor Freight as "The man store". But one has to be very aware of what it is they are buying, there intended use/duty cycle, it's construction, etc....

My dad had a 2010 crawler with clam shell loader and backhoe. I spent a lot of time on it in my late teens and at 21 cut in a 3/4 mile easement road through the woods, many times with my 1 year old son in my lap. He got a kick out of it. They are very fond memories for me. Always the creative thinke...

Howdy dtools1, Pulled my pin completely out. Did I mention that it was NOT the master pin? After reading through the forum threads I found that others were just removing any pin so not fully being able to distinguish a regular pin from the master (I think I have but can't be positive) I just went fo...

Ok... My pea brain is gonna have to ponder this one a bit. Unless you are talking about whacking the pin past the first entry point of the link and THEN using the clamp to push it into the other side.... I can see that... maybe. The span is still greater than that of the clamp. It's the whacking to ...

Hot Damn! ..... I don't even know what that means. IT WORKED!!! Jim! That $100 over sized ball joint remover on steroids rendered the $8000 hydraulic pin puncher impotent! Just like you said... put that bugger up on the pin... a bit of heat... and my 1" impact wrench... and out it came. I now have t...
