I think they might, I am going to pick one up today.
-
I found a local shop to cut the flywheel up the road from work. Yea,shipping would be high. I called Tennessee Clutch they said it will be about $60 to overhaul my pressure plate and clutch,not bad. They also said it will only take a day for them to rebuild and send back. I will be sending it out tomorrow. Thanks Don!
-
I will probably send it out with the clutch. I just looked at the wear surface on the fly wheel and I see little hairline cracks. Hopefully these will clean up.
-
And it only has three wheels!
-
The Davis did http://www.suarezweb.com/davis/davis03.htm
-
I will give them a call tomorrow. What should I do with the contact surface on the flywheel? Do I leave it as is or should I put some scotch-brite to it to clean it up a little?
-
Thanks Don, what would they be able to do with that huge groove? I would guess they would have to replace it?
-
I measured my disc and the assembly bolt to bolt here is what I have. My flywheel is drilled for a bigger one what do you think?
-
Check www.vintagepowerwagons.com they should have them. If you dont see them listed give them a call.
-
Does anyone have a decent pressure plate assembly they want to sell? I think mine is beyond repair,the groove is very deep.
-
I took the bell housing into work today to clean it in the parts cleaner. You can still see the original markings on it. When I got home from work I removed the clutch and flywheel. The clutch pads are worn and there is a BAD groove in the plate, anyone know a good shop that can rebuild it? The manifolds came off with no issues but I still have to separate the two. Anyone know what the two holes that are plugged in the last pic used for?
-
Yea, when I cleaned up the engine compartment the first time I tried to match the grey,it came out a little lighter (you can see it in the last pic with the engine removed). I was thinking of leaving the fire wall as it is,just clean it up a little. What do you think?
-
Thanks Don I was getting antsy and walked down to the garage, I got to do what I have been wanting to do for a long time but have been hesitant. I have read a lot of stories about people breaking their manifold studs when trying to remove them. I just wanted to see If I would be able to budge them with a wrench,if not I was going to use an air gun tomorrow (don't want to wake up the neighbors). Well, I was able to turn all of them with my wrench,some were a little too loose. Guess I got lucky . When I pull them off I will use an air gun on the bolts holding the manifolds together, hope that goes as well.

one more

Got out of work a little early today and got the engine hoist to my house. Hooked the chains up to the head bolts and had the engine out in about 15 minutes. As you can see from the pictures, the hood,fenders,cross bar,heater box,oil filter,battery and manifolds were installed. As long as you have the engine at the right angle it is no problem. If the bottom pulley was off it would have made it even quicker (it was hitting the cross bar, a little more of an angle would have been good also). I also took the starter and bell housing off once it was out.
-
Looks GREAT !
-
They also sell a die that is put in the oil,the die is detected by a black light when it leaks out. Works great.
-
I started the process of de-greasing the trans. There is a hole in the front of the trans that I sealed a few years ago because it was seeping oil, I removed the sealant to reseal it. I remember there was a post a while back talking about this issue, someone even sealed a dime in it. Is it normal for this hole to seep oil?
-
Why do they even put the hole in the gasket?
-
Really? Its a pretty clean break on either side?
-
Should the slit in the trans gasket be on top? Is this gasket on upside down or is it installed correctly?
-
Could the fluid level be low?
-
I spent a little more time on the removal process this morning and added some more pieces to the pile. The engine is now ready to come out. Hopefully I will be able to pull it this week once I get the hoist over to my house. I ground down a hook from a snap-on slide hammer for my water dis. tube removal. It works great, I will post pics of it when I remove it.
-
Mickey Mouse?????? I like Goofey better, LoL. make sure you use HIGH temp sealant if you go this route.
-
That's a good idea Greg, I will scan and post when I get a chance.
