Mf 8100 series splitting

[Ferguson165]

Hi, im in the process of splitting mf 8120 between gearbox and rear axle. Do i need to remove handbrake plates? Or will the output shaft slide out from the rear? Manual says only to remove lever and unscrew control pin (shaft that moves the cam?)

Why do you want to split it? Some things can be done without.

If you really do need to, it's the handbrake actuator shaft you need to unscrew and hold up out the way. Remove the cable, return spring, their bracket. There's a split pin holding the arm to the shaft, smack the arm rearwards to release the shaft, it's threaded at the bottom end inside if you see what I mean. Once the shaft is free to turn remove the arm and unscrew the shaft, lift it up till its up against the fuel tank and secure with a bit of wire or string. Don't forget the 2 screws with the 1/2 Allen key head at the bottom, you need to remove the 4wd drop box or the flat plate under the gearbox according to model and spec.

Hare/tortoise synchro is broken. Handbrake needs to come off anyway, but would probably be easier to split it first if possible. Not sure why the shaft needs to be unscrewed?

The handbrake all inside and fastened to the gearbox, the actuator rod/shaft comes down through the rear axle casting and is screwed into a bit of the handbrake mechanism. I am not talking about the output shaft of the gearbox, that all comes apart after you have split the tractor.

Tractor has ccls hydraulics, but somebody has been tampering pump controller (dfr) adjustments, if somebody could measure the distance from adjusting screw end to locking nut (both ls and max pressure) so that i could get them setup close to factory settings?
