Your set up is different than the ones I have done but I suspect all you will have to do is take the bolts out of the tube housing and when the tractor halves are rolled apart there will be a a yoke that simply slides off a splined shaft end. I tried looking at some parts diagrams on AGCO's website but it appears they have made some recent changes and I can't get the diagram pics to load. The Parts lists describes a 19 spline yoke on several models though so you might have that too based on MF models. This link describing how to do it to a E204 sounds like a very similar setup to yours based upon how the e204's tube housing bolts were configured..... so i would say that after the bolts are taken out the halves should be able to be rolled apart and the shaft dropped. http://www.tractorbynet.com/forums/grey-market-tractors/150839-hinomoto-e204.html
Thanks for the reply.
I kind of thought that would be the case. I loosened the 3 bolts on the rear tube flange then quit for the night. I don't want to remove the front if possible. I can't really roll the tractor forward as I'm kind of maxed out in the garage. Murphy's law would have been i do all of the work to split the thing and there was something complex to make at least one side of the tube to come out. I'm wondering how much additional force it will take above what's required to split the tractor.
I guess the best way would be wrapping a rope around the whole thing while i roll it back to avoid dropping anything.
Do i need to drain oil in the rear axle to do this?
