Winter Project - 190XT Power Director - Help Pleas

how much pressure was on each side. If I remember... should be 280-300 psi. good lookin 190.

Reed my buddy has not had his 190 delivered yet from the auction. I will post what he finds as soon as he tears into it. But that doesn't help you now. Dana

Is it possible to work on the PD without splitting the tractor?

The above diagnosis is probably correct. You will have to split the tractor.
Don't go to all the work to remove the platform. After you have unhooked
all the necessary lines and connections, Take all the bolts out
holding the platform except the 2 in front. Take the nuts off and remove
the lock washers. Then put the nuts back on just even with the end of the
bolt. Jack up the back of the platform just far enough to clear. Make angle
iron supports and bolt them from platform to just touching the floor, but
in FRONT of the axles. Then you can proceed to split the tractor. Of course,
support the front half adequately. You must remove the short extensions
on the hydraulic lines that come out through the opening where you removed
the control valve.
  It is a bit complicated, but I'm sure you can figure out all the things you need
to take loose. When you get in there, taking the PD apart  is a process that
you need to make sure you follow the instructions in the repair manual, or
it won't come apart. I sure hope that is somewhat helpful information. Dean(IA) 

I agree with skip if you need any parts along the way just let me know. Or if you have any questions I am sure put a post on the page or send a PM.  Good luck they arent to bad at all to split.  If you need tips if it gets to that point I have a few.

It looks like all the high-side plates are broken.

If the seperator plates are not warped, I generally reuse them. I always replace all 9 discs with 70261212 (model 7000) discs. I myself have never replaced a clutch shaft in the torque housing for worn/loose splines on the driving gear which is blamed for broken discs. I've always used the 7000 clutch disc parts and have my Dad's 200 for example that has had them in it since 1979 (at 3000 hrs) and today it has 8000 hrs on it and has never had any problems with the PowerDirector clutch since the 7000 parts were installed....original clutch shaft and gear still in it.

since it's about so much effort to do a job like this,i wouldn't even consider price of oem plates VS 7000 series. Put the best stuff in while there.
