IMPORTANT: Make sure to not damage the engine,
flywheel housing, fuel hoses, hydraulic lines, elec-
trical harness or other parts while removing engine.
Also, make sure that transmission does not shift
location during engine removal.
CAUTION
One person should operate lift or hoist while a
second person guides the engine assembly out
of the machine.
19.Move engine toward the rear of the machine to sepa-
rate it from the transmission input shaft and flywheel
housing. Carefully raise engine from the machine.
20.Locate and retrieve two (2) dowel pins (item 27) that
locate flywheel housing to engine.
21.If necessary, remove six (6) cap screws (item 31) that
secure flywheel coupling (item 30) to engine flywheel
and remove coupling from engine.
22.If necessary, remove motor mount plates (item 12)
from engine.
Engine Installation (Fig. 9)
1. Make sure that all removed engine components are
correctly installed to the engine.
2. If removed, install motor mount plates (item 12) to
engine with cap screws and lock washers. Torque cap
screws from 34 to 42 ft−lb (47 to 56 N−m).
3. If flywheel coupling was removed from engine, apply
Loctite #271 (or equivalent) to threads of six (6) cap
screws and secure coupling to engine flywheel. Torque
cap screws 19 ft−lb (26 N−m) twice in sequence
(Fig. 15).
4. Apply a generous amount of antiseize lubricant to fe-
male splines of flywheel coupling.
5. Position two (2) dowel pins (item 27) to engine end-
plate.
6. Support transmission to prevent it from moving dur-
ing engine installation.
CAUTION
When installing engine assembly, make sure lift
or hoist can safely support 250 pounds (114 kg).
7. Connect lift or hoist to the front and rear engine lift
tabs.
