The TA clutch pressure plate has lost a finger on my 460 and it's getting pretty hard to shift now so I'm going to tear into er' and fix everything including the TA. Just looking for some tips and tricks to getting it split and then back together. Can a novice mechanic with most of the tools handle the split? I'm not sure what I'm going to do for a stand yet on the front end, any ideas? Where is the best/cheapest place to get all the needed parts? I've got an I&T manual but I think I'm going to get the TA video also, is it worth it? Thanks guys!

Make up a set of bolt on stands ,with about 6" swivel caster wheels...The stand needs to be wide enough to stablize the front half...about 6'wide ,also brace it front to back so uou can move it forward out of the way...be safe, build it out of 3/8"x3" angle iron....There was a set for a " H "on the for sale add, you might look them up far an idea ...You can get parts at your CASE/IH dealer.....Get the video and the manual, you can't get to much information.....be SAFE ....

I made front stands for my smta from parts off of an old IH front mount corn cultivator. the uprights were from the long tubes that go bback to hold the cultivator shanks and all. I believe the IT manual shows stands in use in it. If you have a narrow front it is king of unstable and wants to turn over so be sure the stands are plenty wide. Mine were for a SMTA. I had the front stands bolt just in front of the clutch housing unit and have screw up and down type adjustments (came from the cultivator also) I was worried about putting wheels on those due to the narrow front. I made a rear stand with a wheel on it that bolts to either side of the reaar axle housing and comes up against the bottom of the drawbar front support. My rear stand was not strong enough though to handle rear end with ta section attached, worked fine if you split it behind ta unit though and let ta center unit go with the front half. If you have a cement floor to work on, you can block the engine section up or use front stands and use a 3 ton floor jack under the back, chained to the tractor, and that works well. I had trouble finding caster type wheels that would handle sufficient weight to do the back unit. The jack setup worked the best if on a smooth floor. When I took the front pedistal out I locked the rear end up with rr ties and used a front end loader on the pedistal. I have an IT book but also the "blue ribbon service book" for my tractor. Both were handy as the IT book tends to cover a number of models generally and none specifically. When I split my smta I made dowel pins out of 5/8 bolts for the ta to rear unit and 3/4 inch bolts for front split, helps to get things lined up. If you want to e mail me I can send you a more detailed description or there should beone in the blue ribbon service book.
