In the process of replacing the clutch in my LK 3054. The hour meter reads 430.0. My buddy gave it to me because it would lose forward power while going up hill and he is not a mechanic. When i got it, the situation got even worse and the tractor got to the point where it could not move while in any gear, even on a flat service. The tractor is in half and i removed the two stage clutch assembly. Found the drive clutch was gone and had glazed the pressure plate. The PTO clutch looked ok but the flywheel was also glazed with some blue spots from heat. I am having all the necessary surfaces turned to remove any glazing and installing new clutches for the drive and PTO.
I have the part number for the throw-out bearing and will source it locally. The transmission seal and the rear main were not leaking, but I would think I need to replace them while I've got it split open. I will also replace the pilot bearing. Does anyone have the part numbers for the rear oil seal and the transmission seal? Also, any links on how to do it? The transmission seal looks pretty straight forward with four bolts to remove located behind the throw-out bearing. The rear main I'm not so sure about.
If you have any advice about the installation of the clutch assembly that could save me a pit fall I would greatly welcome it.
