Hi everyone,
I am replacing the engine on an L6060. I am just starting to put things together and may have found an issue. According the the WSM, the clutch coupling needs to be centered using a centering tool. I am used to doing this for pilot bearings on cars, but there is no pilot bearing on this tractor. Also, the input for the transmission does not have a shoulder that sticks passed the spline, so it does not ride in the crank at all. This is all adding up to look like an alignment tool is not needed.
The real kicker is that the ID of the spline is smaller than the ID of the hole in the flywheel. This means that whatever I put through the spline will have about .040of play inside the flywheel. So i can’t imagine how you could align this thing anyway.
When I loosely bolt the spline to the flywheel, there’s about .010” of play. I would this that’s fine?
any help would be great!
