2002 New Holland TC33 throw out bearing replacement…split tractor in two ?

[roguewave]

Throw out bearing is howling when I depress the pedal. I figured I’d replace everything, clutch, pressure plate and TO bearing….then someone told me the tractor has to be separated in two. Who has done this job and how hard was it ?
Thank you for any help

Sorry, but no other way that I know of. Remove loader and subframe, then split it.

Dang it, thank you for the info

Subframe can stay on. If you have a floorjack and a pair of jackstands on a concrete pad, it's not hard to do. Position the floorjack under the bellhousing from the back of the tractor. Rest the engine frame on a jackstands. You may have to install some bolts in the engine frame to rest the jackstands on. Remove the starter, lines, harnesses, linkage and bellhousing bolts. Back half resting on the floorjack should roll back and away. Replace the components of the clutch and assemble in reverse order.

Where do y’all like to buy your parts from….clutch, pressure plate pilot bearing and throw out bearing ?
