Bareback 190xt

Good job, should work! Tap those axle caps while its apart make sure they are tight, they do pop off sometime

Hi i see this ad is a little old but hoping someone can chime in here to help, but im looking to do the same thing to my xt. I wanna remove the old housing to loose weight, but been researching and seen this ad hoping to answer my question, why did you keep the pto shaft, can that not just be simply pulled out and left out with just a plate in the housings place?

It will transfer oil from rear to frt and back.  You could pull shaft out and put freeze plug where seals are to stop oil transfer.

If I ain't mistaking can't you pull the shaft the drop the pto box and put a freeze plug in from the front

Is this for a puller ?

No I don't think so. Remove the pto housing on the bottom of the tourque tube and pull pto shaft and seal. Get a freeze plug the same size of your seal. Mines a 7000 a little different but that's what I did to mine. Plus you get rid of more weight. The freeze plug can be put in from the rear but a driver will have to be a long one. Strap together 2 2.5 gallion oil jugs together and make a sheet metel block between axel caps high enough to block diff and put jugs in rear end. It will take a lot less oil. Tight but they will go in. It will also hold plugs in. Bolt to top with nuts welded to diff stop. Might want to remove top plate so bolt it.

Are you referring to gettin rid of the neutral point? First time here with a big tractor making into a puller. I started off with a wd45. But i do wanna get my xt right.

As of now i have bigger injectors, think from 7010 or 7080 dont remimber whichw.e biggest i can fit and pump turned up so guessing 150 hp? As of now not looking to spend any money in motor yet just wanna loose weight and strenght drivetrain if possible.

If you are at 150 - 200 HP and you remain at no more than 3,000 RPM the power director should hold just fine. You may have to increase the pressure to it a little. As long as the rest is in good condition it will work. You should increase the spring pressure on the flywheel clutch and be sure it is in good condition. Use a four pad clutch disk. More pads do not hold more power. Just the opposite.

Thank you ill be sure to remimber that about clutch but ill wait till mine goes out, still holds strong as of now, but about the flywheel spring how much of increase are you talking about.

Good question: I watched Dr. Allis do several of these. It requires using feeder beater springs from a Gleaner combine installed inside of the existing springs in the pressure plate. The Gleaner springs need to have 2 - 3 coils cut off to shorten the length. Then use six of them equally spaced around the pressure plate. Not every existing spring gets a Gleaner spring installed. This is all from memory. Maybe Dr. Allis will chime in and give more accurate details.

Just an observation but I would guess two 2 2.5 gallon jugs would displace roughly 5 gallons of oil. Saving roughly 50 lbs. Also saving the cost of 5 gallons of oil.

Im liking the idea more and more about the oil dispacement idea being i just un did my plugs and seeing its close to 10 gal just in the rear= save money and weight. Do you have a picture of what you did? And to answer 2wise4agm my pulls are little different here on eastern shore, rulls here dont requir 3 pt housing to be on and im gonna be running stock and antique classes. 3.5 mph with non cuts and 5 mph with cuts depending on track and my mood lol. I can get away with antique because rules here are 1965 and older, im 1964 so ill have a very large competive ege not to mention i see that rule changing to 64 like it should be cuz of me haha. First time pulling with this tractor and a diesel for that fact so itll give me a year for learning my tractor. Motor wise im pretty sure the guy who i bought it from didnt change the tips they just took injectors from a 7080 i guess same difference as you? Appears to be stock turbo, idk if i wanna change that scared to hurt the stock engine with out head swap and oil pump change. My goal is to get the tractor close to 5,000 lbs if possible.

I have a 200 front bolster(hollow), no pto housing, pressed steel wheels(with 38' radial tires), and I only put about 5 gal. of fuel in it and mine weighs 7150. Gonna be tough to get down to 5000 unless your club has very few rules.

Im having troubles trying to find a freeze plug for the size i require, i took my pto clutch housing off and need to cap the hole off, anyone here done the same, if so what did you use to cap the hole its dia is 2.431"
