 This week I pulled an engine on a ford 5000 tractor to use in an engine swap on another 5000

 

I though this was pretty interesting. The splines for the pto portion of the input shaft were so worn down that the flywheel was getting caught on the front 1/8" of spines that weren't worn down where the flywheel doesn't make contact. This made this part of the engine removal a little more difficult because I couldn't figure out why it wouldn't just slide right of the transmission. At first I thought the pilot bearing must be rusted to the input shaft. I ended up hooking a come along from the engine to the hitch on my truck and then I was able to get the engine off.
