The nice thing about a tractor is you don't so much drop the trans as roll it
backwards...
I may actually be doing this relatively soon. I think I've stumbled on to what
may be an excellent deal on a small diesel tractor with a loader and a bad
clutch. Whats actually bad about it is that it never disengages... He'd been
living with it like that until the starter solenoid went bad at which point he
brought it to the shop. I got brought in as a "tractor expert" (its a
motorcycle/snowmobile/4wheeler kind of shop that will take on any work) and
clucked my tongue at it appropriately. I explained the only way to know what
the problem was would require splitting the tractor and taking a look around.
So probably 4 hours of labor just to see... He's still deciding but I told him
I'd give him a grand for it as it sits. The hydraulics all work, the 2cyl
diesel starts super easy and runs strong. Could be a great deal...

but other than old tractors, you almost never need to. it is not
that bad, just drop the trans and unbolt the flywheel. Just a
matter of perspective, I guess. And I never had to do it with an
auto trans.... the weight of those Ps of S adds to the aggravation
factor for sure.
on tractors, it is not that bad on IH. That is all i ever had to do,
and only a couple of them
