Got a little deeper into the tractor today. Crank has to built up or replaced. I'm going to have to make a tool to remove and install the front and back main bearing. It sure would be nice to have special tool the manual calls for. The clutch showed very little wear so I'm going to put it back.Here's a few pictures.

Can't tell much about the crank from the fuzzy pics, but are you sure it needs to be built up? There are .010" and .030" undersized bearings. May just need to be ground, if that.

So, u can't purchase this special tool for the bearings ?looks like u had the block cleaned. I don't see any paint

I was thinking you could but the tool too. Unless its so expensive that making one is more cost effective given the money vs time senario?

I would think you could buy the tool from JD for removal since they work on similar yanmar engines in thier small tractor line back through the 80s

I had the crank checked at the machine shop today and it was way beyond the .030 range. Going to talk with the crankshaft rebuilders on monday but I'm thinking about buying a new one. The tool is fairly simple and I hate to buy a tool that I may never use again. No I didn't have the block cleaned.

I had no idea that the front. And rear mains required a special tool for installation . That's good to know

They are one piece bearings and have to be pressed in. The front is pressed in the block itself and the rear goes in a removable housing. I'm waiting on a money transfer to buy parts. Checked the brakes yesterday and found a brake shaft seal leaking so I'll be doing that repair also.

Anyone have the part # for the brake shaft seal and the seal collar? Hoye's site doesn't list it for the 336.
