JD R shakes

Hello Im going to look at a JD R tommorow it shakes a lot some told me something in by the clutch could be wrong or the fly wheel could be off a cog where could I find pictures of these two items any help would be aprecciated or another tell tale way they would be on wrong
 
The flywheel and the "clutch driving disc" inside the beltpulley are counterweighted, and if either is on wrong with respect to the crankshaft "throws", the engine will be out of balance and shake.

There are "matchmarks" on both parts, at either side of the engine, which should have been followed at assembly to keep the parts in proper alignment.

(DISCLAIMER: It's been a LONG time since I've messed with an "R". It seems to me that somewhere along the line there was a DEERE with the flywheel keyed rather than splined. If that is the case, it probably can't be put on wrong, but the clutch driving dics IS splined, and can be messed up, for sure.)
 
Bob, the fly wheel is splined I took the flywheel off one R to flip the ring gear I put a mark on the flywheel and shaft not to get it wrong, thanks for your input though. t.r.
