<P>Touche Dean!!!!! The easiest tractor to repair the clutch
was the 1200 David Brown. You could remove the top transmission cover and
pull the PTO shaft and pull the transmisison shaft and the clutch without
splitting the tractor. The 1850 Oliver was also built so that the engine
could be pulled by removing the coupling to the transmission and set engine and
hydrashift crosswise on the frame and remove the clutch.. But, as far as
ease of clutch rebuilding the 2cylinder JD had them all beat..<BR>Cecil<BR></P>
