Super H, In too deep

From the bottom I could see one of the 6 bolt on the clutch was twisted off so I decided to split the tractor. So the clutch is out and I am glad I looked into it. The clutch lining is worn down to the brass rivets on one side. No big problem, I can fix that.

My real concern is the flywheel. On the clutch bearing surface of the flywheel, you can see tiny cracks that are about 1/32 of an inch deep. The are about as deep as the that slight bevel if that helps. My question, How much can be taken off with a lathe? Is this common to see?

Thanks, Gene

It takes fresh oil to indicate a bad rear main.

The belly is full of old grease from the clutch release cross shaft bearings, the throwout bearing, and the pilot bearing, which are are externally greasable, and accumulated dust.

If you want to tear it down, that's your business, but you are describing a normal operable H.

Take it to a machine shop and have it cut.

I am glad now I took it this far apart. The rear engine seals must be bad also as there is a lot of oil and dirt in the belly pump casting and behind the flywheel.

Anything else I should do while I have it split and the flywheel off?

I am replacing all the seals in the front of the transmission also.

Thanks again,, Gene
