4430, TO REMOVE THE ENGINE DO YOU HAVE TO REMOVE THE CLUTCH.
THANK YOU

You have to do a clutch split but don't necessarily have to remove the clutch to lift the engine out..I usually do simply to get all of that extra weight off the back end..make sure you remove the transmission pump drive shaft (hex shaft) out the back end of the tractor..plug is under the center link mounting bracket..it will bind and give all kinds of problems when splitting the tractor if you don't remove it first..

Yes. the pump drive shaft will get bent if you don't pull it first. I'm not sure what your getting ready to do, but if it's a complete engine removal unbolt the front pump frame, coupler, misc. stuff and side frames and roll that out of the way then set the engine and clutch assembly out of the clutch housing, if your going to do an engine tear down I leave it on the clutch housing as long as I can, letting it act as a engine stand and strip the block down before setting it off.

(quoted from post at 01:37:14 12/23/10) make sure you remove the transmission pump drive shaft (hex shaft) out the back end of the tractor.

Removing trans pump shaft isn't required if it happens to have a powershift trans.
