Thats what I like to hear....keep us all updated.

Two ways to go about the repair. Buy an entire used driveline--maybe a tractor puller is stripping one down somewhere, check ebay or post in the wanted section. I would hate to think about the cost if you ordered all that new! A possible third option is to buy what can't be repaired and remade, fix the rest if you have the skills and equipment. Regardless of your approach, don't get discouraged, those clutches tore out when the machine was 10 years old so its no surprise it happened at this stage of the game.

Actually, I was thinking more along the lines of giving you a hand with fixing it but you're quite a ways away.

Watch when you put that thing on. I read somewhere someone had a problem with the bolts being too long and hitting something.

[GreenAcres]

Thanks for the heads up. I hope I don't have that problem.

I think he ground them shorter

Looking good..

Sometimes those one piece at a time projects are the best and the most fulfilling when done!!

When it takes time to save the money and effort to make it go again you will appreciate it more in the end...

Keep plugging away and don't get discouraged...

It will be a nice tractor that will last another 50 years if you do it right.
