power director late 200

Hi, all! I'm as new to this forum as I am to AC tractors, and could use some experience. This is my first AC, 200 Serial 7289. Had no PD neutral, no pto disengage. High pressure at the Tee back of the engine (250-300psi at any speed). I pulled the PD and PTO valves apart and found sticking shuttle/relief spools. Cleaned and reassembled. PTO stops and brakes now. Still no PD neutral. While I had the valve off, I opened the case to view the clutch and hub support. I applied air to the clutch apply tubes. air in one tube came out other tube and support. This indicates blown seals, I assume. with seals blown, the clutch should not engage either range, correct? The tractor drives! I don't know which range it's in, but if it moves and the seals are blown, i can only assume one of the clutches is jammed. Anyone agree? at any rate, it appears I'm going to split it. Anyone know how well balanced that back half is, in other words, how much support do I need under the transmission? I know I've been long winded, and I apologize. Thanks in advance to anybody with some input!!

Snap coupler is heavy on front, Three point is heavy on back. Three point can be heavy on front if you let it get over center forward.     MACK

Ok, I got bored today so I locked the foot clutch down so I could rotate the PD assembly. YIKES! It's ugly in there. My guess is the back clutch came apart and the bits jammed in there in such a way as to fuse the thing. I pulled the sump and the gears look great. I suspect the splines are stripped out of the low range frictions. Hope the pic came through.

Be sure to replace all 9 discs with new 70261212 discs from a 7000.

Thanks, guys. I'll check, but I think that part number (70261212) is the one I sent to Schmidt & sons for a quote. Firecowallis, which not are you telling me to replace?

Wow, ok, thanks, Firecowallis. Not anticipating removing that nut, but will remember your advice. It's looking like this may have to be put off a bit. I need to build a building to do the work in, but I need the tractor to clear the site for the building. Great catch 22, huh? It's appears that the carnage at least has the machine in a stably operable condition, for now.

Ok , yeah makes sence, I don't have much experience with the bigger 7000 series internals, thanks!

You'll never break/split a 70261212 disc in a 180-185-190-190XT or 200 like the old design discs. My first tractor I did this to was my Dad's 200 back in 1979, and have never worked on it again. Tractor was 5 years old and 3,000 hrs and had a broken disc in low range. Installed the 7000 discs and no problems ever again.

Dr listed the part #. pretty sure that is 7000 model only as its basically a 200 with 7000 sheetmetal.  bigger tractors have different drive train.
