    resurfacing flywheel mm reference values

    I have replaces single stage clutches before but this was my first two stage clutch. Other than the problems with getting a clutch that fit properly, the job of splitting the tractor, replacing the clutch and reassembly is not that bad. It takes time, patients, organization and don't give up...

    resurfacing flywheel mm reference values

    Thanks guys! This has been the project from hell. Every time I think I have turned the corner and am on the home stretch, something else pops up. The dash fought me the whole way today. Ran out of energy and patients before I ran out of things to do. 1 to 1 1/2 hours of reassembly left. Then...

    Foam Filled Tires?

    I looked into foam filling mine. One of the questions I asked them was what happens when the tires have to be replaced. They said that they coat the inside of the rim so the foam will not stick to it. To replace the tire they cut it off the rim. They were replacing 4 foam filled tires on a...

    If you do not feel confident making them for yourself, any competent hydraulic shop can make them for you. Just take off the lines you want replaced, take them to the shop and have them make exact replacements.:)
