Just got finished putting a clutch in friends 444 IH. It was a new experience, I ussually just get to take apart, putting back together requires actual skill! Got to take apart the replacement 2 stage PP to check things over, then installed and set it up by original IH service books we bought a couple of years ago. They came out of a closed up IH dealer a couple of hours from home, a whole pickup load, literally, level full!!
Got parts books, service books and owners manuals, even one 130 owners manual still in the plastic sleeve, never been opened!

Always easier

Always easier to take apart then put back together but you learn more when you have to put it back together.:thumbsup: Good job my man.:cheers:

Thanks Jody, taking apart is nice, but I enjoy the challenge of putting things back together and having them work. I'm just finishing up an engine rebuild on a BN now, should maybe be able to put it in the tractor tomorrow, I hope!
I've been workimg on lawn mowers and the like since I was about 12 YO, and we are starting to do some more shop work for others at home now, think I might have an engine job to do on a MF50 in the spring.:money:
