REMOVE HG CRAWLER MOTOR

[JACK V]

HOW DO I REMOVE THE MOTOR FROM AN OLIVER HG CRAWLER ??? THE FRONT NO PROBLEM. THE BACK BELL
HOUSING ETC

 

[Case Pres 1]

As I recall, the bolts holding the bell housing are behind the front track supports. You have to unbolt those from the frame and tracks to get at the motor bolts. Be sure you have the front frame supported before you do that. The tie rod under the frame for the track supports also has to come off.

Disconnect the drive shaft at the clutch housing. There are four bolts per side in the rear and two bolts per side on the front of the engine. I believe you just need a 9/16 wrench for the front and two 5/8 wrenches for the back.

My biggest problem was the back mounting pads were badly rusted to the the frame and when she came out - she came out with a jolt.
