One item that comes to mind is Clutch Dogs or Toggles...? Welcoming your input on what I might start looking for now, in anticipation of a future rebuild. [Reply]   [No Email]

The first time I did my "A" I had a bit of trouble getting the clutch drive disk off. I cranked on the bolts to the point that I thought the disk might break before it finally let go. Now that I've done it a couple times, a trick that works well is to loosen up the center bolt just a couple turns, use half inch nuts and bolts to put a bit of pressure on the drive disk like the jd manual says to, and then give the center bolt a sharp blow from a ball pein hammer.

Some typical parts that might need renewing include the bearing and bushing that ride on the crankshaft, the clutch disks of course, maybe the t-bolts and toggles, and if you are unlucky, the clutch driver and crankshaft if the splines are damaged.
