DB 25d update

Hi all,
So I brought the David Brown 25D home this afternoon, and now it is in dozens of pieces all around! As I was told, the clutch plate had rusted onto the flywheel long enough to drive it onto our truck, and unload, but that was about it! It wouldn't move the tractor on the flat in LOW 1ST gear. Now I know why!
The driven plate (flywheel side) had no lining whatsoever! On the pressure side all was gone but 4" on part!
The clutch housing under the clutch was about 3" deep with a mixture of lining and mostly salt! The pressure plate assembly was packed with salt too!
Thought you might be interested...any more advice will be appreciated!
Thanks!
Joshua
 
Thanks for the followup.

All I can recommend, is take no shortcuts while you are in there. If the flywheel needs surfacing, do it. Always replace the pilot bearing and release bearing. Check the release linkage, especially where the shaft goes through the housing. Being exposed to salt water it would need to be disassembled, cleaned, inspected, and lubricated.

Be a good time to replace the front transmission seal. Some are easy, some get quite involved.

Any engine leaks, like rear main, oil pan, anything easily accessible now could be addressed.

A shop manual would be a good investment!
