Replacing TA clutch on 560

[hagan]

need to replace the TA direct drive clutch disk on 560. i read somewhere a man can remove hydraulic pump and relpace it from the bottom like they used to on a farmall M, Has anyone done it this way? The cover above the TA is bulged up and i am hoping to put a new disk in. Appreciate your feedback

The bulge comment caught my attention. Bulged like it was made that way or hit from the inside. Recently or sometime past. Scenario that comes to mind. Tractor is freewheeling down hill. Operater throws lever ahead to slow down. Tremendous speed of the little flywheel caused by the planetaries coupled with the strain and heat of the clutch trying to stop is enough to cause the flywheel to come unglued. If this is true. You may need a new disc. You certainly will need a new pressure plate and flywheel worse. Examine housing close. Have had fragments knock holes in filter housing.

There's a factory bulge piece over it,  you're reading way to far into it.

My second sentence acknowledged that.
