cockshutt 30 engine removal ?

[rocko]

Tearing down a 30 prepping for painting. Looking to pull engine from tub just for ease of cleaning and scraping ect. but may replace clutch if warented after its out. At this time near every thing is off tractor already and apears will only be nessasary to remove 4 bolts and disconnect clutch from tranny. This disconnect is discussed briefly in manual but any advice or precautions on this step would be aprieciated. Going through manual theres no mention of pulling PTO shaft say as in a Oliver or Cockshutt 1550 which I've done much work on in past. I'm assuming the LPTO is driven differently in a 30?? Anyways figured to ask the pro's so I don't do something dumb or have a reck. Any advice would be apprieciated. Thanks in advance. Rocko.

When pulling motor out watch the pto drive shaft and not pull it out with motor.

The 30 live PTO is driven off the pressure plate and does not pass through the center of the transmission shaftas it does on an Oliver. You need to also remember that a Cockshutt 30 transmission was also used by several other manufactures. To me the PTO drive on a 30 has a lot more in common with a Super 55/550 Oliver than it does even with a 40 or 50 Cockshutt.
