Hi Mark,

I pulled mine quite a while ago. I was skinnier then. :-)

This last Spring, though, I had to replace the shaft log hose & it is probably a job requiring similar access. I pulled the stuffing box by basically laying on top of the diesel & reaching behind the engine. It was tight & I had engine component imprints all over my chest, arms & stomach to prove it! This is also how I adjust the stuffing box & put fluid into the tranny.?

I did clean out the lazarettes to gain better access from the rear, but ended up going over the engine for almost all the work. If I were to pull the tranny I would probably have to go through the lazarettes to get to some of the bolts, though.

I almost had the yard replace the shaft log hose because of the limited access. I knew I could do the job, just didn’t think I would fit the way I once did. Even then it was a squeeze. That was 15 lbs. ago.

Good luck!

Frank

Has anyone pulled the transmission on their S2-27.?? Access looks like a problem, tips?
