transmission question

I'm a broke college kid I don't have the money to take it to a mechanic so ima a do it your self kind of guy that's why I join forums
 
Your best friend in these matters is a factory service manual. I'm not sure if ihon has them, but they are available to purchase. Tons of info there. If you don't need it today, just wait, you'll need it tomorrow!!!! Get the books!!!! Money well spent!!!!
 
Tools, and lots of them. Floor stands, minimum 2 and a good floor jack. Don't be cheap on the stands, your life depends on them while you're under the Scout un hooking stuff.

That's just for starters
 
I have not pulled one of these but I have pulled a torqueflite out of a Scout II probebly 15 times plus. I am sure there are differences but in general I concur on a decent rolling floor jack, and some very sturdy jack stands.

I would also suggest a good digital camera, as much as you think you can remember how things go together, you cant, and the pictures will help. Also everything IH is heavy so an extra set of hands is helpful

I am also guessing that you have a set of sockets and basic wrenches if not then you will need them as well. ( this is just plain nessary for having an International)
 
Ahhh gotcha.

Kind of a big job for a first timer, if ya haven't done it before. Can be done with lots of patience. Those transmisions are heavy and tend to wanna roll around when you take them out.
 
I don't plan on doing it by myself I might just wait and load it on a trailer and take it to my autobody class and get my teacher to help he has the transmission out of his dodge powerwagon right now and its just sitting there till he needs it for a tractor pull
 
There ya go. That works too. Doing a little mechanic learning while taking the auto/body coarses always helps out in the long run. You're young enough, and if you stick with it long enough you just May have your own shop some day.

I learned most of this stuff later in life, even though I kinda tinkered with this at your age. I kick myself in the butt all the time for not fully pursueing it as a career when I was in my youth. But we are never too old to learn, as long as you keep an open mind. I'm always learning something new.
 
Well it's been a while since I've been on but I randomly started working on the Scout yesterday for the first time in about 6 months(been interested in fixing my car) and today I dropped the transmission freed up the clutch put it back together I just have to bolt the transmission back to the engine put the gear shifter and axles back on connect a header and wait for my Dad to make me some bushings for the clutch linkage and put it on and I'll be ready to drive ( well around the farm anyways)
