Replacing flywheel on 955L

[hot_rod_eddie]

I need to replace the flywheel on my 955L.
The problem is that the teeth ring is moving on the flywheel.
I was hoping I could remove the drive coupler and have room to access the flywheel.
However, I was reviewing my book and it said step 1. Remove Engine
Does anyone know if in fact I have to remove the engine?

If I have to remove the engine I am thinking about trying to weld the ring gear back to the flywheel instead of removing engine.. My thoughts is it may work and if not I will have to pull the engine anyway.
Thoughts?

Thanks,
Eddie

Motor has to come out to fix flywheel.
Note: a 40hp tractor will not work and a 50hp tractor will barely work.

Ring gear must be cracked I would try welding it but look to see if you can find a broke place on the ring gear and weld each side of break. if it don't work you ain't out nothing
