2130 rear oil pump

[Bill Greenwood]

I'm changing the rear oil pump in a 2130 John Deere I have removed all bolts connecting the tractor at join back of clutch houseing lifted shifter's off and removed diff top cover with 3p th arms including 2 bolts undershifters tractor still wont separate. Is there anything else that needs unhooked inside transmission or under the shifters to let it slide apart or is just a stuburn 30 year old gasket?

I assume you disconnected the brake oil lines and the oil line to the pressure control valve, right side, under foot rest.

You did not miss the two bolts under the shifters. Did you remove the gear shift lever guide spring?

Then it should come apart.
