I did a few jeep clutches but not landscaper machine yet. thanks bill

You have changed clutches so you will be fine... separate things and roll apart.
Remember to replace the pilot bearing.
& take pictures and post them... everyone likes to see the inside parts... KennyV

If the Kub is like other tractors, splitting means supporting the front and rear halves, the front with a rolling dolley. The entire tractor comes apart, and the steering should be blocked so that you don't have any rude suprises. This can be dangerous if you aren't using your head, but is less hard than I thought it would be. You have to disconnect everything that connect the two halves of the tractor. Fuel lines, hydro, battery etc. Going back together can be irritating at times. You have to be well aligned, and may have to turn over the engine with a pry bar to get the splines to engage. We even turned over the pto to help. Like was said, if you have done clutches on vehicles, don't be afraid of this. Just be aware when supporting for rolling ahead.

On my L3600 the clutch became where would not release when clutch went to floor. tried all known methods to release clutch then blocked rear under transmission. locked the front end so would not steer left or right. with hoist holding the front part removed the seperating bolts when front and rear was loose rolled the front forward found the throw out bearing yoke had came loose from dirt water crud on the spline to transmission. would not release because of this. cleaned reconnected the yoke to throw out bearing and reinstalled the housing clutch worked proper. App. 1200 hours on tractor. 4 hours of not hurried work. putting the sheet metal back on took longer.
maybe this will help
