Lk3054 tractor splitting questions

[xcgreene]

I've put an arrow where the thrust bearings are suppose to ride. I cannot confirm this for sure, but it seems very likely. If this is the case, it would explain how they could have just fallen out. Is their any indication that one of the bearing halves that fell out used to have a tab?

The thickest part of the two pieces is .052 and it appears one of them could have had the tab broken off. But they are very worn so they would prolly have been close to a 16th at one time so if that is where they came from I would be able to replace them at the housing no need to drop the pan correct?

Well the question is - What are the other two (inside the engine) like?

How hard is it to drop the sump pan?

 

[Johnwayne07]

Probably would be a bad idea to drop the pan and take a look and see what's going on or if any other parts are laying in the bottom

Probably would be a GOOD idea to drop the pan and take a look and see what's going on or if any other parts are laying in the bottom. :wink:

I knew this would turn into more then just some seals and a clutch haha life is no fun with out any projects

 

[xcgreene]

There is a good chance that if the two on the flywheel side fell out, and the crank shifted, there would now be room for the inside two to fall out, depending on how they are supposed to be retained.

 

[Spanner]

Agreed.

 

[Johnwayne07]

I'll drop the pan tomorrow and look I should be able to tell right away if they did
