Good point don't want that starting too go over, I'm guessing I can split between the gear and clutch and leave the gearbox on the back end or is it a case then gear casting will have too be separate aswell

I hope so, fingers crossed the gears have got away without damage then! Thanks for the help no doubt il be back asking more as we split the tractor

My friend and I are hopefully gonna have a go splitting it next weekend luckily his old man has a splitting rail so should make things abit easier, have you any tips on splitting it I've never done one before but thought there's only one place too learn and just have a go, also anywhere too get bear...

Hi Sandy looking at my clutch today it appears too only have the one hole? Would there be an option that someone has replaced the pedal for the wrong on? https://postimg.cc/0b5VNtnk Very nice Power Major, I see you've got a much earlier bonnet. I think several parts are actually much later than a 58...

Been back too the tractor today drained the oil out, turned out too be very metallic when all was drained out look inside and found chunks of metal,looks like gear teeth :cry: looking around inside there looks like the bearing has given up and then a ball has dropped out and maybe a gear had fallen ...

Probably is worth doing that would like too get everything working properly like it should overtime, time will tell when I get round too looking into it, hopefully not too much damaged has occurred

Interesting stuff I knew it had two holes but that sums it all up il report back when I've taken a look at the oil and taken plates off many thanks

Thanks sandy,Yeah i reckon some parts have been changed around, maybe in a previous minor refurb the handbrake is fully forward and hitting the bolt that holds the ratchet part too the tractor so I take it that it should be fully off? Il add a picture of the clutch, are you meaning the 2 holes on th...

Hi Sandy, I see what you mean, I could well of done some serious damage then really as it wasn't completely stopped, as for the transmission brake it wasn't working when I got the tractor the lever is all the way off and is jammed down there so no way of pulling it back on, but I have read up on the...

Hello there yes I'm hoping too do that this weekend see what comes out from there if there's filings would almost answer my issue something's definitely broke up in there , yes pto still engages and disengages fine, I'm guessing the transmission brake would be a split and sort job would it?

This noise is not a noise it's always had unfortunately so I'm guessing something's causing it, the transmission brake has been stuck off when I bought it and couldn't be engaged wondering whether that could be a possible problem or would you say is that's been stuck and not possible to engage it wo...

Took my major out today for a run round went too change down a gear the tractor clunked a little like it wasn't going into gear fully and then went it but after this the tractor was making a grinding noise, sounds too be coming from the transmission, popping it into reverse and then slowly going bac...
