Creeper Install and Clutch work

[finsruskw]

Geesh, looks like the 1st stop for that unit should be the car wash!!

you are gonna have a challenge putting the clutch back together compressing the springs and driving the pins back in. I welded up a jig to compress everything and drove the pins in. It was not difficult with a jig. it is likely impossible without one. I replaced every thing except for the pressure plates I turned them on the lathe and the pressure plate locating disc I changed the pins in it. I was going the reverse as you- I removed the creeper gear.

Good winter project Ken,you'll enjoy the versatility the creeper gear gives your tractor now.Keep the pictures coming,really enjoying

A pin punch, vise w/soft aluminum jaw plates and a brass drift is all you need to reassemble a clutch assembly.

You have the engine out of the tractor, stand the Cub up on its ars and reassemble w/new spirol pins if yours are damaged or cracked.

Are your shaft couplings in good shape?

Thanks for all the input folks. I would love to pressure wash this
unit but MT and outdoor water are not a very good mix in January.
0 degrees this morning as I write this.
I was not overly concerned about getting the clutch back together
on the bench but was scratching my head a bit on how to recouple
the thing once the rear end is back on the frame. Standing it up
on it's hiney seems like a good suggestion to me. Thank you.
The couplers all seem to be in good shape and everything seems to
not be buggered up. Pressure plate holes are a bit wonkey so I will
replace that.

You need to put the clutch spring, throw out bearing on, and then put it on the creeper shaft.Then re-couple the tranny and finish the rest on the tractor.

Right now I am stuck trying to get the one out of the rear of the
drive shaft so I can roll the rear end out. I would guess you all
will know the one I mean. Yup the one under the tunnel cover.

I know the one you mean. You can get to that one through an opening on the left side of the tractor and a long punch . Works well!

You need to line up the pin so that it's facing the opening.


Alternately, a cherry picker engine hoist is handy for lifting the front of the tractor so that you can work on the under-stuff

I tried to use the hole in the top where the creeper shifter goes but
didn't have a long enough punch. Never even thought of the side access.
Fortunately when I get around to putting it back together I have a hoist
to lift if up to get underneath.

Continuing the cleanup which is quite baked on. Can't even believe
the paint job on these things. Chipping away with a metal scraper and
it doesn't even touch the paint. Cool.

Can someone answer this. Is there any reason a guy should not
flip the rear end up side down on the bench? Just need to clean up
the bottom and just seems wrong for some reason to flip in over. It would
sure be helpful though.
