Surgery begins, splitting the TC24DA.

The flywheel cleaned up and installed.


And yeah everything was torqued to spec....on all bolts, etc.!

Here is a quick way of blowing $135.92! My butt is a little sore!

The clutch assembly cleaned and put back together with the new disk installed.

See! Even the green breaks down!

My step-son is such a great little boy and is so helpful. He claimed his tractor was leaking oil too. We jacked it up and he got busy!

Safety police....the heater was not on.

It is unfortunate that I feel the need to point out every safety concern in a picture that is of something that has already happened. I'm certain that it would be mentioned later! Sorry guys, beat you to it!

Looking great,

Thanks for the update, you've been very busy!!!!

We got the John Deere "leak" fixed.

I borrowed a clutch alignment tool form the local dealer and slid things back together.

I did not have time to take pics of the later progress but I degreased, powerwashed and lubed as needed the areas covered by the operators station. I also cleaned and adjusted the magnet for the cruise control as it has never really worked right from day one.

Although it may not look like it but things were cleaned and lubed but here is fuel tank and some of the other things re-attached.

I spent some time blowing out the dust and cleaning up all of the electrical connections. I put some die-electric grease on all of the connections before reconnecting things.

I went down to the dealer and obtained all of the oil/filters needed for a complete service.....I mean a complete service! Oil change, antifreeze, fuel filter, air filter.....etc.,etc.

Here she is after being backed outside under her own power. Things were bled out and checked and double checked during a 30-45 min. idle/warmup. I put the loader and RB back on and got the driveway back in shape, hauled some firewood.....pretty much the usual duties!

Finally parked back in the other garage! I know it is a mess.....! Can't wait to get the boat out of there and into some nice warm water so I can get things organized as I did not get the inside of this garge finished late last summer when it was done.

After a couple of hours of doing some chores there are no leaks! I smell some fresh paint, grease, etc. burning but otherwise everything works and looks good!

I tried to post some off topic pics to keep things "real". I imagine most of us here have jobs and family and we work on things when time allows. I just tried to be the "Average Joe".

Thanks TCBoomer for those seals!

Hopefully my McCain sign and the once in a while **** did not offend anyone!

If I were in front of your tractor, I would have told it (gender neutral)...

" Youuuuu Look Marvelous"... I can't type it like the way Billy Crystal says it.

Great job, should prove a good source for many of us down the road.

JC,
