Tractor Split

[EFC]

Wanted to know if anybody was interested in seeing a Yanmar split in half from beginning to end (clutch job). I know most of the salty dogs wont care but for the average garage guy it might be interesting. To be fair we will split a Suzue in half also. If I get enough feedback I will make a page for it on my web site. Also for all the guys stuck in an office we have thought about a web cam in our service bay. So that everyone can see the glamour that is being a tractor dealer. /w3tcompact/icons/grin.gif If there is interest let me know either way.

I think it would be quite interesting to see your project.

That would be a good idea Buck. Like I tell most people that ask about, it is not a hard job, but a time consuming job with a lot of little things to think about. It always helps to have a partner to help out. They never go back together as easily as they come apart.

I agree-if you post it up on the web, there are a lot of us who will be sure to look at it out of 1) curiousity 2) office boredom (for some) and 3) necessity!

I would love to see that, I have one of your loaders and it work's well... I was wondering about adding grease fittings in some places around the cyclinders?? I have been spraying wd-40 on it so far... Bought my tractor from Ray out by the ocean.... Having great fun with it!

I would love to see it-- hopefully I won't be seeing it in real life anytime soon.

Isn't a Suzue a Mitsubishi ? I'm sure the guys at the Mits Club would be interested also !! I know I would be .

Would definitely like to see a tractor split. Considering that most of our tractors are around 20 years old, it is something we are likely to be doing at some time or other.

I think that both the web cam and clutch web page would be a great idea. It would be interesting to see how surgery on these machines are preformed, as well as see many more machines.

I'd like to see it.. just in case I have to replace a clutch some time.. I hear the throw out bearing in yanmars are not that good but can be replace with JD heavy duty.. if ya can find a match

Bring it on Buck, it sounds very interesting. I hope to never split my tractor buy my in-laws Ford NAA might be a candidate /w3tcompact/icons/smile.gif

I think it would be very interesting, I would also check the web cam for all the reasons mentioned above!!!

I have one with a throw out bearing just starting to sing. A look at the job ahead of time would be great.

I'm just poking around abit and wondered if the actual split has been documented with photos??? It should would be helpful...
