Hi NIW, I finally got around to uploading this pic. You can see what appears to be two drain plugs, but one of them is at the top. Otherwise the tractor is working great now. However, before changing gears I need to bring the tractor to a complete stop and also lower the engine speed. Even...

Thanks for all your help on this thread NIW. Re the 4wd driveshaft, I just thought it needed it as it was all dripping with dirty, greasy oil when I pulled it apart. I wonder what those small bolts are for then?

So the tractor is all back together and after a few tries at bleeding the fuel lines finally got her going. Clutch operates smoothly but I need to adjust it as it doesn't grab until the pedal is nearly fully released. Just a few miscellaneous bits left. First of all, the 4wd drive shaft goes...

Two halves together now. That was an interesting excersise. The first parts to meet were the two halves of the sub-frame, which made it difficult thereafter. After struggling for a while I realised I should hook up a come-along and winch it together. After a few false starts I go the order...

Yeah, it's funny, the part number is direct from the parts manual, except with a 0 at the end instead of a 1, which they do for some reason. Anyways, it's not a disaster. The clutch looks like a perfect match, so I'm happy about that. Am just working on aligning it now with a socket extension...

Yeah, throwout bearing fits perfectly onto the shaft. If you're talking about the pilot bushing, I had to tap it on to the end of transmission shaft with a hammer and it's clearly too small.

Anyone know the flywheel bolt torque for a B7000 or B7100 (or rather, Z650 engine)? Can't find it in any of my manuals! Edit: Oops, got it ... 40-43 ft. lbs.

Strange. The pilot bushing that came with the clutch kit turned out to be smaller than the one the cavity. I drove it onto the end of the driveshaft to see how it fit and it opened up (it's got a split down one side) by maybe 3/16. The one in the cavity not at all like that. Went to the...

Thanks for the answers guys! Gonna hunt around for a dowel now :)

So I got the parts off ebay about 3 weeks ago (good deal, saved me CAD 100 compared with dealership cost) but I've been delayed in getting back to working on the tractor. In short, we had 6 goat kids born in the space of a weekend, lots of bottle feeding as one of the does didn't make it, and...

Wish I had some pix of my incident, but it was too embarrassing and I just wanted to get the hell out of there. Now I see all your stories and feel better that it happens to everyone sometime :) I had a 2' deep trench with a new water line and was using the loader to fill it back in and...

Called the dealership and got prices on those parts. Strangely the Pilot Bearing came up on their computer as a bushing. Throw out bearing P/N 32150-14820 CAD 33.21 Pilot bearing P/N 66621-14120 CAD 17.08 Pilot bearing Seal P/N 09400-14247 CAD 4.52 Clutch disk New P/N...

Here's a photo of the shaft, just in case. I find Ebay and Amazon both have way worse selection in Canada than in the US, so I often order from the latter and nip across the border to pick up the package. So I called the dealer and the cost is similar to the e-bay deal: 66591-1330-0...

Yeah, it was a long time but I don't put many hours on it, mainly tilling the garden, pulling trailerloads of firewood, pulling goat shed to new location, hardly any loader work. I can't wait to get it back together. Maybe I will actually start doing more loader work with it!!! I'll see if I...

Hey, I was just looking at that very item this afternoon! I was checking for alternatives in case the dealer price is too shocking. During my search I found a 3rd party supplier that had it priced at over $800!!! I'll give that a look see. Is the pilot bearing something that usually needs...
