I think I need to pull the Transmission cover off my W6 to get to a problem with the gears. The manula I have says to pull the cover straight up in order to allow for the shifter forks to clear. This is is my first try a this type of thing

How high do I have to lift the cover from the transmission housing before the shifter forks will clear? Do I have to remove the clucth and brake pedals? How hard is it to get the forks lined back correctly to reinstall the transmission cover.

Also, I managed to break off the PTO lever from the shaft going into the PTO housing. Can the PTO housing simply be pulled straight out of the tractor after unbolting it? In worse case would the housing from an M or H work on the W6?

Mike I was wondering what manual are you using for your project. I have a W6 also.

Thanks Ed

I ordered it through the YT manual deal. It is a reprint of a manual. It has some prety good information in it. But I would like to get a little more in the terms of direction s "how to".

In answer to the last question, yes an M cover will bolt right on,but the seat mounting holes are different. What are you trying to fix in the transmission? I'm asking because I rebuilt a W-6 and found out in the process that I did a lot of un-needed work.

You will need to take the gas tank, seat, steering, and unbolt the fenders where they hook to the transmission top. When you have it ready to take the top off you will need help, it is heavy. You only have to get it up about 6 or 8 inches to make it all clear. When you go back with it you have the gears lined up the best you can and then set the back of the top down easy and look through th gap in the front to line up the gears. It is not hard but you will need help. Nothing should drop out when you lift it so that will not be a problem. Good luck with it.

I have had the cover off my H on several occasions for various reasons. I work on my own so have to use a chain hoist to lift it clear of the tranny. To maintain control of it until the forks are clear of the gears I use two guide pins placed diagonally opposite each other. In the case of the H they are made from 7/16" diam. bar about 8" long with 1/2" of thread on one end and screwed into the bolt holes in the transmission housing. Also makes the job easier when lowering the cover back into place and getting the forks lined up with the gears.

Thanks for the advice on the guide pins, Sid. That sounds like good idea.
