I’ve had to take time away from this repair, life happens. Since I had over 1400 hours on tractor and 14 years old I decided to go ahead and replace the clutch. Does anyone know if the alignment tool to use is the same size as the output shaft? Mine is a 10 spline and checks .547 diameter on the...

Okay thanks, I’ll be looking out for that.

They may be similar in quite a few ways and maybe even use some of the same parts. I’ve noticed in the parts diagrams that says a particular part may have many plus uses to other models.

Oh, is there anything crazy about pulling input shaft out of HST once I get the face cover off? I have to replace that shaft because the splines are destroyed. I already ordered a new shaft.

I’m somewhat familiar with Lucas products, that sounds like it would do the job. I’ll check it out, thanks

Yes for sure. I was thinking like a moly grease instead of lithium grease. What’s your thoughts?

The only other one I see is on the output shaft from the clutch housing. I removed it yesterday and it appeared okay. However, I’m replacing it too because it’s just a matter of time. It’s like replacing a timing belt on a car with 100k+ miles and right in there is the water pump. So in 3 months...

I overlooked the diagram originally showing the #160 shaft and I was under the impression I couldn’t buy one. After looking at the diagrams again I found it. So I’ll be ordering that today. I still have to take it apart to get it out. It’ll make a good paper weight I guess. I’m also replacing...

That’s the one for sure. The splines are totally mangled on the outside of the charge pump. I found a new one too for the same price as you posted. I had to use a puller to remove the ball coupling from it, it was bad.

Found the problem. It is the ball coupling. The outer housing for this is trashed as well as also the input shaft into the charge pump. The splines are destroyed on the input shaft in the charge pump. There were only 3 ball bearings in the ball coupling, no telling what happened to the 4th...

It’s probably the ball coupling you talked about so we’ll see soon. I’ll let you know.

Hey Salmonhound, I’m right down on top of problem now. No easy way to get to this. The steel dark gray “tunnel” that holds everything together is a pain to remove. There’s hydraulic return line hoses inside of it that needs unclamped and a linkage rod that has to come out before the tunnel can...

Update on my B3200. I removed the clutch housing and the shaft turns smoothly. Pressure plate and clutch disc looks good. There’s a straight shaft connecting clutch housing to HST. There is movement, close to a half inch front to rear in this shaft. Push in to the rear and it makes that noise...

Yeah probably so. I was actually replying to another post with a problem that sounded the same as mine. Next time I’ll reply to the original thread, thx
