I believe there are two 1/2 bolts at the top of the clutch housing from the rear going into the engine block

At the top of the housing there (IIRC) two bolts through the fat part of the housing Jim

sorry i cant count..10 bolts...8 on rails an the 2 yall are talking about,the long ones at the top of clutch housing..i have them all out...

Could be the input shaft is froze to the pilot bearing. If so, it may be very difficult to split. If your tractor has a inspection plate on the bottom of the clutch housing, remove it and remove the bolts in the pressure plate,have to turn engine by hand to get all of them and try splitting then. Don't remove the frame rail bolts all the way, leave them through the rear engine plate as that is what will support the rear of the engine while it is split.

What about the two dowel pins? Sometimes they can be stuck pretty tight. Have threads on end toward front of tractor.
