I have Ford 600 tractor with a front push blade and rear backhoe, just found that the gear ring on the starter flywheel is in very bad shape. Wondering how big/hard of a job is it to split the tractor to get at this flywheel. Is it something anyone with some mechanical skill can do or are there alot of suprises when and specail tools you need when you open it up. Right now my biggest concern is just the blocking, jacking and seperating the two halves. Is it better off just to pay the 1500 and get it trailered into the shop?
