3010 reassembly help

Jimdog571 · Mar 26, 2020

I still cant get it to go in all the way. When i took it back apart it looked like the shaft was hitting low. I used the alignment tool when i put the clutch pack an disc back on. I had it pretty straight and square today especially with the guide bolts. Not sure whats going on.

If that's the case, rotating the engine might get it to go If the clutch disk was high, 1/2 a turn might lower it enough to engage the shaft.

I've been turning the flywheel if that's what you mean.

Yes, that's what I meant.

My 2030 only has one clutch disk (PTO clutch is internal) and I have just eyeballed to center. It (on my 2030) is the inner shaft that engages it, and it has some play at the end.

I finally got it together after wrestling with it for hours. I guess it just needed to be lined up exactly right. Thank you for your suggestions and help. I greatly appreciate it.
