NF driveline replacement help
 

Hey Guys , The throwout bearing flew apart on my 126 loader tractor , so need to replace some parts. Probably going to replace everything while it it apart.

I have never replaced the drive setup on a narrow frame before , is it as big of a PITA to do as it looks ??? Looks like you have to pull the motor or slide it forward ?? It also has a creeper in it.

Any tips/tricks would be helpfull since this may be a one man show !!!

Thanks ,

Darrell

Yep, you have to slide the engine forward. It might be easiest to remove the grille casting and engine. If you have a creeper, it's actually easier to get at the rear spirol pin because you can access it through the lift handle slot. It's probably going to be a pain because of the loader. This is why my loader is no longer on a NF gear drive and will be on an 82 series hydro ;)

Replace pretty much everything while you are in there. Pilot bushing, driveshaft, friction disc, teaser spring, main spring, throwout bearing, spirol pins and true up the pressure plates on a lathe.

Thanks Matt , that is what i thought. I do plan to replace everything while it is apart.

I have followed your loader thread , and i am wishing my loader was on a WF now !!

Nice 126 and loader, Darrell! :ThumbsUp:

I agree with Allen
 

Nice tractor :beerchug:

Nice 126 and FEL!

Nice loader! Nice tractor, and is worth the new drivetrain parts. Gear trans. are pretty tuff, though.:Duel:
