If you do tear into your tractor.. beg, borrow, or invest in 3 or 4 sets of sawhorses.. and used or new plain interior doors to lay across them for tables. Make one table your tool table. Then divide your disassembly tasks into small enough 'bites' to fit on another table.. with the associated nuts/bolts/special tools on that table. Then move to another step in the process and put everything on the next table. Make notes of weird things you come across that you might forget, and keep the notes with the associated parts. Helps with the orderly reassembly when you get to that process. The tables will come in handy for the rest of your life on other projects and are not that expensive...
Jerry, Jerry, Jerry,

Thanks for thinking of traveling down here.:thumbsup: But I (we) would still need hoists and dollies. I know a guy in Maine that had a traveling mechanic come out to his barn and the two of them split his tractor.
You forget I am an Aircraft Mechanic.

I use milk crates and wide boards for movable tool and material tables near the work at home. We have special built tables for large (heavy) jobs at work. Aircraft Mechanics are resourceful.

Once I used a golf ball as a tool to assist in a repair.

Cut off broom sticks work great when rebuilding main landing gear struts to slide all the parts off onto in order.
I think the most important part of rebuilding something is the tear down. You have to be sure the order it comes apart, especially hidden parts that are not seem everyday..........like clutches and strut parts. Next most important is to have the room to do it comfortably and not be knocking stuff over as you move around. Having room is also good to help keep parts clean and out of the way.
Popular now at work, for handy tools near your work, are small carts with a drawer or two. About 50% of us hangar mechanics use them now. After all, we are getting older

and it gets real old pushing tool boxes heavier (and some larger) than small cars to the aircraft and back to our "rest" areas.
Getting older is probably the biggest reason I don't wanna tackle a clutch. When I was younger, I would have, given I have a shop with concrete floor now. Now a days, I'll just work two nights, one at time & a half and the second night at double time.:thumbsup: to pay for the repair. I also hope to barter some flight passes to lower the final cost of the repair. I'll find out in the morning.
hugs, Brandi
