<div>Farmall H and M were similar. You could do the clutch
through the bottom of the bell housing. You had to uncouple
the flexible joint at the transmission input shaft. Then
the clutch could come out.</div>

<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>
