Ford 1700 Clutch Replacement

[JPower]

Hi All- I have a 4WD Ford 1700 that I need to replace the clutch on. This is my first time doing a clutch split on a tractor. I have the I and T manual and followed all the steps and have all the bolts/nuts removed to split the housing. The manual does not address the driveshaft for the 4WD- do I need to disconnect that and if so, where? It definitely seems like it is not coming apart right now... I am a little stuck at the moment as to where to go next.Thanks for any help! And if this should be in a different forum please let me know-

Hoping your 1700 is the same as my 1910, I had the same question. See thread here.

Thanks- I guess that I will just continue to try and get the two halves split- I have everything unbolted but it didn't seem like either half wanted to move away from the other. I'll wait for daylight and see if I just need to adjust the jacks, etc to take tension off and let it split-

Here is a link where I was putting the 1700 back together, see #24. https://www.tractorbynet.com/forums/new-holland-owning-operating/137188-1700-engine-rebuild-3.html
Pictures are worth a 1000 words. Note the oil drain on the transmission. Should just roll apart.
