Another MD split question

Anonymous-0 · Oct 11, 2010

Will this tractor separate by just removing the 8 frame rail to bell housing bolts, or are there other bolts that I can't see? I have not successfully split it so far; front has s secure stand attached to it. I was intending to roll the rear back, but cannot do so with floor jack.

If there are 4 bolts on each fram rail (8 total) (I think there are) Then the two bolts above the starter at the top of the bousing remain to be removed. There are also dowel pins htat force alignment of the casting to the rear engine support plate, and the support plate to the engine block (internal under flywheel and will show up after split. Jim

Thanks, Jim, for your reply. I noticed that the dowel pins are threaded. Do these need to come out prior to split, or will they slip out thru the rear support plate?

unless you have a really big floor jack you might want to rethink that.When it comes apart it will go down fast.

They can be removed, but will come out with the split. They are locational and tight. Jim
