If you need a hand, I am, in Saugerties.

I don't have any special words or tools, but I have joined those parts together before.

If you are lacking 1/2 inch, probably the clutch splines ore not slipping together. Try putting the pto in gear and barely turning it just a tiny bit. Alos, check the dowel pins if they are lining up with the holes in the housing.
If you are not part of the solution,
you are part of the problem!!!

Whatever you do, don't force it or try to draw it together with the bolts. If it doesn't fall together, it's not together right.

Did you use an alignment tool to install the clutch centered in the pressure plate? Just checking.

Well, that's your problem. If that clutch disk is even a fraction of an inch off, you will NEVER get it together without wrecking the disk.

Ask me how I know...
