The one that was on Pittsburgh Craigslist is gone.

Aw... Darn.

Rumblefish,
We need some outdoor pics of the 1535 for tractordata, there aren't any at the moment.

Its currently buried behind my daily driver thats torn apart, but I'll see what I can do after I get it cleaned up

So Im pretty new to gear drives. I have the driveshaft coupler unbolted from the rear. Now how in the hell do I do the front? Do I slide the engine forward?

UPDATE: I got the drive shaft out. There was just barely enough room to snake it out after I unbolted the engine plate and moved it as far forward as I could. It went pretty well except I managed to break the fuel filter and spill old gas on the floor.

It definitely needs a pilot bearing. The bolts holding the flange to the motor were, at best, finger tight. Im guessing when PO put the throwout bearing in he didnt get those tight enough and maybe thats why the pilot took an early retirement. Looks like the driver pins are worn and the holes in the disc are egged out a bit also. Ill replace those things and true up the pressure plates. Im debating on a blue spring, iirc its a 500lb rating. I was gonna do it for sure until I saw how the clutch spring loads shaft into the creeper. Whats everybodys thoughts on that?

The culprit. Its loose enough that its almost 2 pieces. It also fell right out of the flange. No question that its junk.

I think these holes should be round. It looks like the original disc anyway.

Random driveshaft pics. I found it interesting that it has a splined shaft instead of the usual setup. Ill grease it up good before I reinstall. I need to get a set of punches and get this thing disassembled. Time to order some parts!

Make that 3, same problem,sorry no pics, buried behind 3 vehicles and about 6 tractors in the storage garage.

Thats awesome greaseburner! Id like to see it if you ever have it dug out.

I dropped off my clutch parts to a friend who has a small machine shop in his garage. I got the pressure plates trued, new drive pins made, and he redrilled my clutch disc. All of this for $20. I was not willing to buy new pins from cub at over $30 each so we will see how this goes. My drive flange is on its way and should be here this week. I cant wait to get it back together and see how it runs.

Good job. Interesting on the splined hub and a gear drive to boot. What did you make the pins out of? Mike:beerchug:
