I love how these motors look when they first come out for a rebuild.

Good luck with the project. Don't forget to soda blast the engine tins and have them powder coated (if they aren't too rusted through...

Sorry can't be of help with the issue at hand, but will be watching...

engine tins to far gone 3 out of five required thanks for the tip

Yeah that's typical, mine were mostly shot too. I bought all new ones, and had those powder coated before putting them back in...

I had difficulty removing the clutch cross shaft on my cab, the first time I did it. For me, the trick was to put a long 6x1.0 bolt in and then I used a claw hammer claw to pull the shaft out. I used a block of wood to help brace the hammer.

Good luck with the project.

Yes, my roller bearings were shot. I found a bunch of the rollers in the bottom of the bell housing. I replaced the cross shaft, bearings and throw out arm with new.
