TO-35 clutch advice

[1959TO35]

Only second time running since redoing the engine and I can't seem to get the transmission to engage (sigh). It was always a little rough shifting, but now suddenly I can't get it to engage at all - hot or cold starting...

Serial number is 161561, I believe its a '56 and a non-deluxe(?). Anything I should be careful of while ordering - from other posts I gather there are some year over year changes in the clutches, seems to be a single stage 9", but is it 1 1/8 or 1 3/8 hub?

Last, I have changed 6 or so clutches over the years on trucks, never a tractor. Will standard jacks and axle stands suffice to break the tractor for this job (which will have to be done outside) - it also has a loader attachment for added fun.

thanks,
Kerry

Have you adjusted the clutch per the
service manual? I'm assuming you didn't
split the tractor when you did the engine.

Hi Stan,

No, i didn't split it during the engine work.. just had to replace a piston, sleeve was fine. I don't have a service manual and havent made any adjustments, but that sounds like a good place to start - is there an online version of the fsm?
