Hello all! New to this site and also to the ownership of an 1835B with "issues". I am trying to remove the left drive motor per a Case service manual I purchased. Everything disconnected as instructed up to "Loosen and remove the nuts and lock washers on the Ferry head bolts that hold the motor". How do you get to the nut and lock washers inside the chain case? Is there a special wrench to reach those nuts? Looks to me like you need to remove the chains to get to the nuts and washers. The manual shows removing the chains in one piece but I have also read that there may be a master link. Looks to me like you have to need to remove the axle housings to remove the chains so the motor drive sprocket can be removed through the outboard bearing cap hole. Is this correct or am I missing something? Any info steering me in the right direction will be greatly appreciated. Thanks very much in advance.
Hi android53 If you take off the two wheels and loosen the two axles on one side off the case then slacking off the chain tensioner you should be able to get the chain off the sprocket were the motor is . Can you let me know how you get on cos i had the same problem my drive motor was gone but the cause was the bering in the housing that you take off to get to the motor sprocket was gone now i have to buy a hole new housing with needle bering and self alining bushing not cheep. All the best Rors
