jd 5020 among others
OKay- first the history. One of the clutxh fingers came loose and jammed the clutch. I need to move this tractor 600 miles, dealerships are not close. Decided to split it myself, replace clutches, resurface flywheel.

Now for the problems.
The 5020 is such a popular tractor that parts are difficult to find. Managed to get the necessary parts without breaking the bank,. Now I need a crankshaft seal press. None of my seal presses are large enough.
Also looking for the clutch alignment tool.
If any one has any ideas I am open to suggestions.
BTW the seal is 7 inches od 6 inches id with 2 pilot holes

I don't know of any generic tool that would successfully install the unitized seal on the crankshaft. A friendly dealer may loan one, you could hire the dealer to come out and install for you, or you could buy your own tool. The clutch you could probably use a generic tapered alignment tool that you can buy at any auto parts store. The transmission clutch is the only one you need to worry about. The pto disc floats in place until clutch is engaged.

Can you buy a piece of large PVC pipe and use it to tap in the seal? I would think a machine shop would skim the faces perpendicular if you took them a rough sawn piece for a small fee.
