Sorry to hear of your issues with your tractor. With mine I abandoned the crankshaft bearing altogether and had a machine shop cut an area into one side only of the flywheel, The engine side. Then installed a permanently lubricated ball bearing into the flywheel and cut down the propeller shaft...

I am happy to report back after a very long pause due to a cold garage that my Kubota B7200D is all back together and operating well. The clutch is good and there are no bearing noises at all. I want to thank everyone for all their help in my repair. Job well done!

So what you are saying is that these machine shops are like the soup Nazi on Seinfeld.

Well if I had machining skills that you guys have and tools it would not feel so daunting to me but I don't and I am sick about this can of worms I opened up. Hopefully I can find a good machine shop that can handle it. I can turn a wrench but this is way beyond my skillset. Thank you all for...

I am not sure of the OEM propeller shaft dimensions, It must be somewhere around 0.557 as that is what the ID of the new Kubota bushing measures that I had purchased thinking that would be the easy part. The flexible coupler on the transmission end of that shaft is still attached to the...

I will look at that input shaft bearing on the trans side before I order my Kubota parts. I neglected to say that the fork also bit the dust. Dan, Thanks for your offer, I wish I was closer and take you up on your offer. There is 25mm distance as the bolt holes are offset. I think that putting...

The center hole in the flywheel measures at about 0.804 and the propeller shaft area where it exits the clutch disc is 0.490-0.580. The bearing that TheOldHokie recommended to me ( 60002RS ) I looked it up and he was correct that it is a better choice than what I said (3/8x7/8 std.) as it...

I will contact a few machine shops in my area and see what they have to say about this and decide a plan of action based on that and also costs involved. Tearing down the engine to get at the crankshaft doesn't sound like something I want to do to this thing, If I was the original owner and I...

Two bearings would fit into the flywheel, but the pilot hole in the crank snout is so messed up and the seal area has been enlarged whereas if I replaced the seal there would be a small portion that the seal wouldn't cover. I do not have any way nor would I even know how machining could be done...

Thanks Dan, That is reassuring. I figure if the tractor was running so long without a bearing in there just flopping around in there that this idea has to be better than nothing at all.

Thanks for the reply but I was thinking of taking a cheaper approach to this situation that I am in. Turning down the propeller shaft to 3/8 near the end where the damage is at. It is just about there now. Then putting the flywheel on a lathe and enlarging the center hole to 7/8 to accept a...

Hi again, I wanted to let The Old Hokie TheOldHokie know that you don't need to scan and post the pages of the service manual as I looked it over and over and it did look simple so I tried it and it was easy. But there always is a story and this one is not so good. Getting inside there was...

Yes, I can hold off until next week I am in no hurry as this unit won't be used until the spring time. I really do appreciate all of you folks helping out on this project. Thanks again.

Thanks I do appreciate all the responses. I feel better starting this job with all of that information.

I just looked at my Tractor to try to figure out what you are saying and it makes very good sense now that I seen that the axle is on a pivot. Thank you very much for that great advise. Any thing else I should look for? Will I need to drain the hydraulic fluid?

First time ever working on a tractor, I have worked on many cars and trucks before including clutches. This will be my first tractor and I will be splitting it soon to change a locked up clutch, I tryed all of themethods to free it but no luck. Can anyone help me out with any tidbits of...
