So, I finally got around to putting my clutch back together. A big thanks to everyone for pointing me in the right direction, especially to Sam Mac for sending me the link to the service manual, twice. Maybe if I had paid more attention the first time I ….. well anyway, thanks again.

Here was the problem causing the play in the release arm;

And my solution, a piece of 3/8” ID tubing to make some “bushings”, and a ”sleeve”, some spatter, uh, I mean welding, and a longer bolt.

And I really liked Sawdustdad’s suggestion of using 2 rag joints, so I filled the existing spirol pin hole for the driveshaft output yoke with a section of rod and a little weld and drilled a new hole further forward on the shaft and, 2 rag joints.

So today I decided to service the rear end on the 1200. I drained the fluid and cleaned out the innerds. My mityvac brake bleeder worked real well to suck up all the remaining fluid that didn’t seem to want to drain out. After everything was cleaned up and threaded holes chased out I used red lock tite to install 5 studs that I made out of 3/8” hot dipped galvanized carriage bolts. I replaced one of the axle tube outer bearing (part # 941-0363) and seal (part # 921-0187) and installed a new cover gasket (part # 350837-R3). Then I went out and picked up a 5 gallon bucket of hytran equivalent (meets or exceeds International B-6 Specification) from Napa to fill the gear box;

Gave the 1450 the same treatment, replaced the hydro filter (Stens part # 120-265), and sent the hydro relief valves out to be rebuilt;

Hi, good job on the clutch. Lots of little worn areas add up to a lot. I see you have better pin and pilot bearing engagement now. Nice rake, i need to make one for a walnut picker-upper. Mike

So just a few things;

Installed the seat, gas tank and rear lift from my parts tractor.

Got my spring assist (part # PN/ IH-548380-R91)[/COLOR] painted and installed.

Picked up some wheel weights from a guy in town and added them to the rears.

Installed the headlights that I bought on ebay. (In retrospect I think I would rather have bought the grommets and bulbs from here http://ccspecialties.org/lights.html and taken a dremel cutoff wheel to my original screen).

Installed a back work light that I got from Amazon;

And will be controlling both headlights and taillight with this switch;

Headlights will be on position 1 and headlights and taillight will be on position 2.
