I've found two threads here about splitting a B2150, but neither of them list what I'd need. For example, one reply says replace all the O-rings, which makes sense, but doesn't say what they would be. Page S.S-20 of the WSM seems to imply only the suction and delivery pipes would have to be removed. Are those really the only hydraulic things to worry about to split this for the clutch?
It also seems no one pays attention to the WSM, which shows disassembly from the front to the back. To follow it one would remove the front axle, then the engine, and have access to the clutch. The very helpful forum posts show more what I'd expect ... the minimum amount of disassembly to allow the bell housing to come away from the engine. So the WSM is more useful as a reference for say where the delivery pipe is, and the all important torque charts, than an actual procedure for clutch removal. (shrug)
Just making sure I'm seeing this right before I start. So far all I've done is get it into the garage before a blown hose rendered it immovable, and soaked nearly the entire tractor in PBB eight or ten times. (grin) This tractor hasn't seen a lot of love and I'm expecting at least some of it to be really happy where it is. Soon as the front tires are fixed I'll find out. lol
