1950 Farmall C replacing transmission

[Okie Haymaker]

I'm getting ready to replace the transmission on my 1950 C Farmall as the housing has a crack in the housing on the side that my uncle tried to braze and it didn't work and it leaks gear oil. I have another complete transmission that I was going to swap out. My question is - Has anyone ever broke one in two at the back end of the torque tube and successfully put it back? I'm concerned about getting the shaft stabbed back through the throwout bearing and clutch plate when I go back together. I could leave the shaft in if I needed to but I'm still going to have to slide it out far enough that I can get those 4 bolts out where that shaft bolts to the transmission. Any thoughts as this is all new to me?

This means you have the rear axles with it?

I was just thinking somebody on here just did it. Maybe the Love's.

yes I do.

When I worked on my Farmall BN, I used "guide bolts" in the top two holes - to get the torque tube lined up with the transmission. The same kind of thing would probably work on a C as well, since they're similar.

welp ya can see he is NOT that smart with all the extensions and a impact . You loose when you add extensions . Learned that way back in the early sixtys when i was first learning the trade working on the big yellow iron . Ya want and impact to give all it has you do not add extensions . I have two long 48 inch ones for removing car transmissions when ya can't get close to bell housing bolt and your on the flat rate clock . Where if you could get your 3/8th up there it would buzz the 3/8th's bolts out but now on a 4 foot one ya had to drop back and drag out the 1/2 inch impact .
