Sorry if this has been answered before, but Im not seeing it.

Is it possible to remove crank on an M without splitting it? Also, I dont have a heated shop and its really cold outside. Is there an issue with installing bearings, etc when its this cold (other than frostbite?)

Thanks
 
you need to split the tractor (remove engine from tractor) to get the crank out. The reason for this is that you cant get the flywheel off or back on and you cant get the front off due to the timing cover and front pully. as far as installing bearings at low temps, i would say if the bearnings themselves are the same temp as the crank and cast parts then it should be ok. just keep in mind that if its really cold steel becomes more brittle and easier to snap.

Have you looked at the journals and know they need to be turned? Otherwise you can do a pretty good job of bearing replacement without removing the crank.

Why do you need new bearings?
 
Well I dont know that I do, I guess. The rod bearings look worn so I figured the mains would need changed as well.
 
I've heard of folks replacing the mains with the motor in place. Basically from what I understand you would just pull one cap at a time and tap the bearing out with brass drift and tap back in. I have never tried it so no personal experience.
