Splitting Farmall C

alwayssomething · Apr 17, 2023

2nd time around, different tractor. Clutch is going out so time to split . Back half supported, front hooked to my engine hoist. All wiring, hoses ect are removed. 6 bolts holding the tractor together removed. I can get the tractor split about 1/2 inch and noting more. No amount of pulling, adjusting heights of front and rear, pry bars or profuse cussing has completed the split. What am I missing? The first one of these I did came apart with just a little argument, but this tractor not so much. Any tips or tricks?

Clutch linkage from the throwout bearing??

If u have done one already u know about all the bolts. So
maybe the pilot shaft has grooves worn into it with the
clutch hub preventing the pull apart. Just a thought as
nothing else can hold it if it ready to split and you say it
moved 1/2 inch out so that means the pilot brg. Should
not be holding it.

Just blind luck to get it apart then or is there a trick? I was afraid it was something like that, always my luck.

Reach up in there and unbolt the clutch cover and
see if that does anything. Possibly disc stuck to
input shaft.
