Splitting the B8200

[GreyCrow]

Is there anyone out there who could help me with tearing into this tractor?
I need to R&R the Clutch and I need to split the tractor to do that.
I have an IPB but no shop manual and really changing out a clutch shouldn't be too hard but the splitting thing is a bit off my comfort zone.
I have the tractor jacked up and the loader off the steps etc...
but I don't know zakly where this thing is best cut in half. or for that matter the best way to do this in my car port.
I live on an island and can't be bringing this thing over to the mainland with any kind of ease.
someone please send me a picture of whats involved?
thanks
G

You will split it at the bell housing.

Here's a post showing my B6100 split for clutch replacement. Should be similar.

Well that was fun.
I have to thank everyone who jumped in to say what was on their mind.
every little bit helps.
I used a floor jack, a come-a-long, a #12 and #14 wrench, a rubber mallet and a sledge hammer with a few lenths of rope and MY TRUCK!
used the truck to tow the tractor into the motor (I know that sounds bass-akwards but like I said I live on an island and I can only do so much.
I have to weld up a new seat for the battery as the old one rusted out and bleed the lines but I'm ready to fire this thing up.
I have never operated on a tractor before. I hear it's supposed to be an 8 hour job. I have other things that need done through the week so I spent a total of 12 hours on this one. not bad for blind wrenchin.
thanx again all.

Congratulations,

You are an inspiration to us all. I think this is what makes tractor guys special, we are very resourceful and alot of the times have to work outside the box to get the job done.

However, I will be the first to say, we would like to have seen some pics, but I understand sometimes we are in a hurry to get a job done.

Late to the conversation, but I have the manuals, if you have more questions.

Interesting, the service manual is just for the tractor though; it does not include service on the engine.

There is a separate service manual for the engine. I suppose they do this since different models use the same engines.
