I finally pulled the left side final drive. As some might remember, I found the clutch housing full of water when I bought the crawler and the left side clutch was frozen (only right turns). I've been itching to get into this thing for a while and today was the day.
The first photo is the rig I used to support the drive. It's my engine lift bar but I noticed that the spacing was right for the drive bolt holes. This wouldn't work if the track frame hadn't been chopped but is fine in this case.

This is the drawbar support assembly. I have no idea how you bend one up this way and even less about how to straighten it.

This picture is at the point of removal. Just enough room to get nuts onto the bolts holding it up.

A view of the steering clutch after removal. Looks like it was recovered from a shipwreck.

The inside of the clutch housing. The rest of the shipwreck.

Pulling out the steel and fiber disks one by one. The rust stuck everything together.

Got them all out. By the book there should be 8 steel drive disk and 8 fiber facings. What I pulled out was 7 steel and 9 fiber. At least it must have been rebuilt once albeit wrong.

And finally (about time for some I imagine), the end of the brake drum. There was a fiber disk against the bottom of the drum rather thann a steel disk the way the service manual shows. This actually helped out because the fiber disk stopped the end of the drum from rusting. I've got a bunch of clean up to do but it looks like the replacemment of the fiber and steel disks and a refaced pressure plate should get it going.

All for now. If this is getting old, tell me to keep it to myself and I'll put up a link to the complete set when I'm done. The picture help me out to remember how it all goes back together so I'm taking them in any case..
