Another well explained DIY. Good job Dave 👍

Your knowledge is incredible Dave,I would have a panic attack seeing all the parts from the tractor off..lol take it easy brother! Can’t wait to see the tractor back up and going

Hi Dave. Like the inside of the t shirt wiping technique. Shade tree at it,s finest. Still good to go to town if need to .Have a great day.

Won't be long and you will be back in the seat! The spray lube is a good idea Dave. Have a good week my friend! See ya!

We getting there , Mission possible. All the power to you. Mr. Dave🙏

Good work, Dave. I replaced an engine in a 1972 Vega back in 1979. It took me about 3 months to remove and reinstall a rebuilt engine. During the process, I installed a new clutch, pressure plate, and throw out bearing. The clutch was a bear to figure out but I got it installed.... incorrectly 😖. I still have flashbacks of that when I see engine/transmission tear downs. Now, it's a breeze but it took that one major "oh sh*t" to brand into my brain housing. So the moral of all my rambling is to mind all intricate parts or details so you don't have an "OS" moment like I did. You're not over thinking your re-install one bit; just take your time and check the details several times before you seal the hatch. Have a fine week my brother. 👍🏽🙂

How's she goin'? Getting the clutch back on is a big step towards getting the tractor back together!! Nice going!!! Take care!!

OMG look like a big job Dave I love to do mechanic but !!! I think I prefer building stuff. Have a good week.

Doing great work Dave. I can't wait to see it go back together and run again. For a 2005 model tractor that thing looks almost new. I'll bet it's going to run good as new when you are done with it.

Stretching a bolt isn't a good thing either. Nice job Dave. Brings back memories for me doing my first clutch job at 16. :-)

Looking good! Thanks

Whenever I have doubts about the torque on the bolts and that the compounding factors of what could go wrong if they back out and how long it would take to get back in I usually always put blue loctite on. I’ve heard plenty of stories of people taking the flywheel off of a tractor and one or more of the bolts were loose. So I can’t see how it would hurt to add that one little step if you are having doubts.

What are the dimensions of your clutch alignment tool? I have to put a clutch in my Kubota next week. Great videos

Man Dave 20 lb ft sure doesn’t sound like enough torque to me but then again working on the old Harley’s we just tightened stuff til it squeaked and gave it another half turn lol
