Super M Transmission Seals

I am trying to replace the front tranny seals on my super m, and am having trouble on one. I"ve removed the liftall and the small love joy coupler. I was then able to remove the coupler that was threaded on to the countershaft, the one that turns the liftall pump, and the seal retainer for that. My trouble is with the tranny input shaft. First I removed the coupler (universal joint) between the clutch shaft and the input shaft. Then I tried pulling the flange off of the input shaft by using some threaded rod and nuts. The problem is when I pull this flange all the way that I can; it comes in contact with the clutch shaft and still is not off the input shaft. I tried putting the flange back on and then removing the clutch shaft to get it out of the way, but there isn"t enough room to remove it. I tried removing the two bolts holding the throw out bearing carrier so as to remove the clutch shaft, but still not enough room. Do I need to split this tractor to finally remove the flange on the input shaft, so as to remove the seal carrier? Or am I missing something here?

Thanks in Advance,

Jim
 
Check out this link. I did a related job on my Super M a few months ago without splitting. Once you get the clutch shaft clear, you can pull out the entire input shaft assembly. Check out the bearings closely, particularly the pilot bearing. I believe you can get to that one if you remove the belt pulley/cover.

One comment: when and if you pull the entire input shaft assembly, you will be removing the front support for the upper transmission shaft. You may need to line it back up when reassembling. You can put the tractor in gear (maybe 4th) and/or you can work through the aforementioned belt pulley opening to line it up.

Got it! Thanks for the info. It wasn't easy, but got it out by removing the pressure plate bolts and tilting it out.

Thanks again,

Jim
