PS: can anyone tell me the torque specs for the engine plate? As well as the pressure plate to the flywheel? The flywheel to crank bolts should be 40-43ft lbs and I went with 45 with my HF clicker torque wrench last time

Below are pictures of the engine plate with a straight edge/new 4 foot level across it. The gaps in the middle are from the "gasket" that is still attached to the plate and look uniform IMHO

Alr9ght I took the plate off and put it flat on the bench with a straight edge across it. No noticeable warpage the gap in the middle from the gasket seems uniform. I also put the straight edge across the back edge and didn't find any warping i will post pictures below I also took several...

Ok now I can see what we are talking about. I'm about to split this pig for the 4th time and take some pictures and measurements. Update I have already tweaked the clutch rod arm back into place and that has helped I have also straightened the arm which attaches to the clutch pedal etc with the...

Also just to be clear this (pictured below) is the plate I need to check? All the bolts from the bellhousong pull up evenly and tight when we reassembling the two halves of the tractor.

I'm going to pull it all back apart when I get home, do I have to pull all the plate mounting bolts off of the emgine plate behind the flywheel? Do I check across the crankshaft I don't mind doing the work but I need a couple references of what points to check across with a straight edge. While...

That us the one thing I forgot to take a picture of when I had it apart

@AOW162435 I acually read that thread on Sunday so thank you for posting it here. It is possible. that the fork and sleeve have worn and would need to be replaced or built back up by a machine shop. However I would think that issue would build over considerable time. My pedal went from...

I really don't know if the pressure plate fingers have any adjustment, but from what I've read they come pre set. As for the clutch rod the only picture I can find is in the IPL I will put up in the last post (I forgot)

Edit: I added the IPL with the clutch rod, (# 11) forgot to add that screenshot earlier Got the whole thing split again, the fork turned around inspected the motor plate, and back together (not anywhere near running) in two hours after work, I'm getting too good at this. Anyway with the clutch...

Ok here's where I am at and I hope it makes sense. We took it all apart this afternoon reassembled with the clutch fork (throwout bearing fork) reversed to what I believe is correct, did not snap any pictures with it apart and should have so I apoliflgoze for that. I seem to have a clutch that...

That's fair, but that part was my father, I can't get my gorrilla hands in the access hole under the trans housing

Thanks as always NIW. I'm almost positive the throwout bearing was put on correctly, as that was very obvious. And also becuase it was done within minutes of removing the old one but to confirm the fatter face should be facing out? I also looked at the hammer marks from beating it off to...

T I'm late responding to this one, but thats an awesome story, reminds me of the Mrs over here using the ZT last fall with my homemade franken- bagger which consists of a large wooden and plastic mesh/fence box and a 7" sheet metal duct fabricobbked/attached to the deck output. To say it gets...

@North Idaho Wolfman could the fork for the throwout bearing being put on backwards cause the clutch to not fully disengage even with the turnbuckle adjusted all the way in? I know this is hard to explain and I didnt snap any pictures. Long story short we got the tractor reassembled to point...

I may be interested in the rear weights depending on how far you are from me

Thanks for this info, I thought about going to my local NAPA as that would have been my best bet in our location, I know a lot of industrial areas are good for this type of thing I.E.my brother lives out neat Dayton ohio and since Dayton is a industrial city and they also have a AFB in close...

That is one very clean tractor, I'm a little jealous. I would love to have a set if rear wheel weights, what are your plans for the plow and plow frame? They are rare and the frame is a good platform for building a FEL (ask me how I know lol) Also the front axle gear oil changes are a pain...

That is precisely what I did with the spring and other things I've ordered from them. The spring I ordered on monday came in the mail from Messicks days before my local dealer even got the seal in. The local charged my wife "shipping" when she picked up the seal today even though it came on...

Huge news, it's far from operational, but I no longer have two separate halves of a b7100. Got the new seal installed flywheel back on (that was a challenge becuase although we thought we marked it we did not do a very good job and struggled as the bolts only line up in one pattern) got the...
