2305 Trans fan gone

[briwhit]

I blew my trans fan thanks to a big stick. I have a new on in hand and can't figure out how to take the old one off. Has anyone done this? Is there somewhere I can buy a shop book?

If you search the old post someone figured out how you could cut the fan in two and install it - I think they glued it back together on the shaft.. Otherwise (IIRC) you have to take a lot of stuff apart to get to the fan..

While you are at it someone also made some shields for the fan..

Ya there is a post 35 pages back about a 2210 but not specific. Is there a shop manual for my tractor like there are for cars? After 3hrs it looks like I need to drive out my u joints to get the shaft to drop but im not sure. It is too late to night to keep screwing with it tomorrow is a new day and there is daylight. I tried to search forums but it dosent seem to be working.

I found it thanks. I was thinking about trying to get the drive shaft out by driving out the uv joint. Thats tomorrow tho I hope my dealer has one in stock because im sure I will destroy it driving it out.

The technical manuals are a great resource to have. They are very thorough and each section has a "theory of operation" part that is fabulous.

Well before I got to beating on the UV joint I called the dealer to see how much it would cost good thing too. He told me that the UV joint and driveshaft are one and it was 500 bucks. So I guess I will take the whole thing apart and try to drop the shaft by the front bolts. I will let you know how it goes.

good luck with everything.. Its a shame JD designed something so unprotected, easily broken, and hard to replace..

All fixed about 6hr job but I have some new ideas if it happens again. Not sure I needed to take all the finders apart and floor but I did and it did make it easyer but I think I might be able to just get the front pin of the driveshaft out with a little help from someone. I do have some pics if anyone is interested. Just a few of it apart I forgot to take one I replace the fan LOL.
