I have to remove and overhaul the motor in one of our 310se john deere backhoes. Is there any thing unusual that needs to be done before you start taking it out and putting it back in. Rear bellhousing bolts look like the worst to get out and back in.
There is a tool that will hold the trans up while you have the engine out. Its pretty simple but you have to remove the black cowling over the hyd tank. It sits on the frame rails and in the center there is a piece of all thread with a hook on it. Your local dealer will probably have one that you can copy by design.
