H engine removal - it ain't coming off!

Senator · Dec 22, 2011

Well the project for the day was to get the engine out of the tractor (Farmall H) and onto the engine stand. I was hoping to pull engine, flywheel and clutch as a unit. Bolster is off, side rails are off. It sure looks like I have the engine unbolted from the bellhousing, but it ain't comin' off! I do notice a couple of 5/8" threaded studs (at approx the 10 and 4 o'clock positions) but thought (hoped!) they were alignment studs and not threaded through the rear engine support plate. Am I missing something here, or do I have to remove the clutch and pressure plate first (from the inside) to get at some fasteners?

There is a bolt behind the starter. pull the starter and look into the hole where the starter goes. Those are alignment stud but should pull out when engine separates.

Yes, starter is out. I did look in there but didn't see any bolt heads. I guess I'll look a little closer. I did get the long bolt that's above and to the left of the starter.

if i rember right there are two cap screws 1/2 by about 6" at the top side of the block come in thru the clutch housing by the starter

By golly, under about 1/2" of crud, in the starter hole there is a bolt! It seems to want to break loose from the bellhousing now but is hanging up on those alignment studs I mentioned. I assume those thread into the bellhousing, if so I might weld a nut on them to get them out.
