Hey Matt, Another great video in the books. The look on your face when you were heading back to the garage with cherry picker is priceless, a dad watching his son enjoy life on a snowmobile. That’s what life is all about, in my opinion. Thanks for sharing Stay safe Dirk
You are absolutely correct. As he grows up there are so many things that just enjoy watching him do. Run tractors is another. He has been driving tractors by himself since he could reach the pedals while sitting in the seat (4 years old). Now he is to the point where he can do field work instead of just ride around and burn gas. But at that time and still is worth every penny I spent on gas just to see him happy to drive a tractor.
That's a lot of work to get this far. It is a good thing you have the video, that's to much for me to remember were it goes. Enjoyed watching, thank you.
It is a lot of work, but I do enjoy it. I break the whole job into processes and do one process at a time. And lay all the bolts out and hope they all stay in order.
You know Matt I never thought about it but these videos are a great reference for when you put everything back together. I hope y'all had a great Christmas and will have a happy new year.
That it is a lot of work. Yup that seat is on the list as well to replace. I'm tired of getting my fingers poked by the little spikes on the seat back that is supposed to hold the foam from sliding around. Thanks for watching Kevin.
Morning. It was warm out yesterday. I never looked to see how warm it got here but it was kind of a tease for this time of year. Better not get used to it.
Thats a good idea. It's not the first time I will have made notes in a shop manual. At one dealership I worked at all the mechanics were on the same page about making notes in the shop manuals so the next guy new about it. worked well. There were a few times those notes benefited me. Thanks for the suggestion and watching the video.
I wish I had warned you about that hidden clutch housing bolt, my Super M-TA had a bolt in the same location. I will again warn you about the pilot bearing that sits on the main transmission shaft when putting the T/A, clutch housing back on the transmission/rear end housing. I damaged the pilot bearing and had to buy a new bearing. The engine lift I was using would drift down and would not keep alignment when putting it back together and so I damaged the bearing. I changed my procedure and did not use the engine lift the second time and used a chain hoist with a Harbor Freight engine leveler. Your engine hoist seems to not drift down from what I've seen so you should be OK, but a leveler would help a lot in keeping things aligned. Not sure about your 460, but I was able to also lift the main transmission shaft slightly to help align everything from the belt pulley gear opening. Don't draw the two housings together with bolts until it all slides in smoothly and you are within 1/16" of a gap. Again good luck. Dennis Hutchinson
No worries. I figured out in pretty short order about the bolt. I will certainly take extra care when putting it back together to keep an eye on the input pilot bearing. I like your idea of using the engine leveler. I think I will have to go pick one up. I NEVER use the bolts to draw the two halves back together unless it to the point of the locating pins are touching. If it won't go and there is a couple inches gap between the two then you better reevaluate why. In the case of the 460 it better be just about touching before I will draw bolts up tight to it. Thanks for all your input. Been there done that constructive comments. There greatly appreciated.
on torque put in new hd springs and rollers if the ramp is not perfectly smooth polish it or have it polished of coure im sure you will o all those pesky seals it will go better if you have a tooling kit for ihc torques but you can get by good luck
I know I would love to restore this tractor someday. I just don't have the time to do the quality restoration I like to do on them. I need something larger on the farm to take over the duties of the 460 before a restoration commitment can be done. A slightly larger but more importantly adequately heated would be nice as well. Thanks for watching the channel. Its greatly appreciated.
I would love to give it a paint job. But to do it right would take me a lot more time than I have before I need it again. So maybe down the road when I have a tractor that can take its place and nice cozy shop with sufficient heat to work in.

Haha Ya It sort of just came to me. We did have a great Christmas. Hope you did as well. A low-key New Year's Eve is planned for us.
Good stuff Matt. A lot of work splitting a tractor. Looking forward to the process of fixing and going back together. And get a new seat for it lol

Morning , It was 60 out yesterday, crazy days

@ I hate mud so I'm not a fan of it being so warm and it's been raining all day today here .
@@toddcaskey9984 Ya I'm not a fan of mud either. It hasn't rained here as of yet today. I know it's in the forecast though.
I would add a note in the manual, so the next time it wont be a surprise for perhaps Logan about that bolt.

Before you said that a snowmobile I was pretty sure someone was playing in the background
It's a good thing he took advantage of that snow when he did. It's all pretty much gone now here.

Thanks for the info. Will get it apart and see just how worn out everything is.
With the 460 apart, it would be a shame not to paint it.

Might as well paint your tractor being you got it tore apart so far.
