It's a slow, hands-on shop session showing jack positioning, aligning the frame beam with the engine block, fitting the driveshaft and protection tube, and hand-starting bolts before final torque. No specs, prices, or overview here, this is for owners following the whole rebuild, not casual shoppers.
Posted by the Ben's Machines channel, an owner or mechanic documenting their own multi-part tractor teardown and rebuild.
Line up the frame beam between the engine block ribs, lower it with a trolley jack until three holes align, then start the six bolts into the engine block by hand before torquing.
The splined end slides into the bell housing first, then the protection tube goes over the crankshaft area and bolts to the bottom of the transmission with a 19 millimeter bolt.
The mounting bolt that holds the shaft protection tube underneath the bell housing is a 19 millimeter bolt.
