- Threadlocker (Loctite Blue 243 or equivalent)
- Safety gear: gloves, eye protection, steel‑toe boots

Replacement parts to have on hand
- Correct input shaft bearing (OEM or heavy‑duty equivalent)
- Associated bearing retainer / inner/outer race if separate
- All oil seals that are disturbed (input shaft seal, output seals, etc.)
- Any snap rings / circlips, thrust washers, shims that are worn (replace rather than reuse if bent)
- Gaskets for gearbox covers, bellhousing if applicable
- Gearbox oil (manufacturer specified grade; typically agricultural gear oil, check manual — often SAE 80W‑90 GL‑4)

Safety first
- Park on level ground, chock wheels, set parking brake.
- Disconnect battery negative.
- Support tractor securely with stands/jacks; never rely on a jack alone.
- Drain gearbox oil before opening — hot oil hazard.
- Use transmission jack when separating gearbox from engine or when removing heavy assemblies.
- Keep hands clear when using press/slide hammer and wear eye protection.

Step‑by‑step procedure (general workshop method for MF 2210/2220/2230 series)
Note: these tractors have compact transmissions; exact panel/fastener locations vary. Follow model service manual for bolt counts and torque specs. Record and label bolt locations as you remove them.

1) Preparation
- Read the service manual section for transmission removal if you will separate gearbox from engine. Gather parts, tools, jack.
- Drain transmission oil into a clean pan; dispose/recycle properly.

2) Remove surrounding components
- Remove hood/side panels if needed for access.
- Remove PTO shafts, linkage, clutch linkage, rear linkage clearance as required.
- Remove driveshaft(s) or half shafts as required to free the gearbox.
- Disconnect electrical connectors, speedometer cables and hydraulic couplings that attach to the gearbox.

3) Support and separate transmission
- Support the engine with an engine support or support the gearbox with a transmission jack.
- Remove bellhousing bolts and any crossmembers connecting gearbox to chassis or engine.
- Carefully separate gearbox from engine — use pry points only as manual instructs. Lower gearbox onto a transmission jack and remove from tractor.

4) Strip gearbox to gain access to input shaft
- Place gearbox on a clean bench.
- Remove outer covers and identify the input/mainshaft assembly.
- Remove selector forks, gears, or countershafts as necessary to allow the input shaft to rotate and be withdrawn. Keep parts organized and labeled.
- Remove snap rings, bearing retainers and thrust washers that hold the input shaft and its bearing in place. Note shim positions and thickness — photograph or measure and mark.

5) Remove input shaft assembly
- Withdraw the input shaft assembly far enough to expose the input shaft bearing location.
- Use a bearing puller or press to remove the bearing. If the shaft must remain in place, use slide hammer with suitable adapter to pull the bearing off the shaft.

How to use puller/press safely:
- Bearing puller: attach jaws evenly to the bearing outer race and pull straight. Ensure jaws don’t slip; use a center forcing screw into the shaft end.
- Slide hammer: use a driver that engages the bearing inner race or a flange behind the bearing.
- Hydraulic/arbor press: support shaft so adjacent components are not pressed or scored. Press on the bearing inner race (when removing) to push it off the shaft — if inner race is integral, use a separator or press from behind the bearing. When pressing on races, avoid pressing on the rolling elements or on thin race lips.

6) Inspect shaft and housing
- Clean bearing seats (shaft journal and housing bore) with solvent, dry.
- Inspect shaft journal for scores, pitting, or wear. Minor marks can sometimes be polished out; deep damage requires shaft replacement or repair.
- Check gearbox housing bore for ovality/runout with micrometer/dial indicator.

7) Prepare and install new bearing
- Clean new bearing and check for correct part number/dimensions.
- If interference fit, warm the bearing (induction heater or oil bath to ~80–100°C max) to aid installation; do not exceed ~120°C or use open flame.
- For installation, press on the outer race to seat the bearing into the housing; press on the inner race to seat onto shaft when pushing bearing onto shaft — be consistent to avoid race damage.
- Use bearing/seal driver tools sized to contact only the race you intend to move. Never hammer directly on rollers.
- Reinstall any inner/outer races, circlips, thrust washers and shims in the exact order noted during disassembly.

8) Set axial play / bearing preload
- Reassemble shaft partly and check axial endplay with dial indicator. If shim adjustments are required, add/subtract shim thickness to achieve manufacturer endplay/preload. Record final shim stack.
- For tapered bearings or preloaded arrangements, follow manual for specified preload and torque sequence.

9) Reassemble gearbox
- Reinstall gears, forks, synchronizers (if fitted), and covers. Replace seals and gaskets as you reassemble.
- Apply threadlocker on bolts where specified and torque all fasteners to manual values. Critical: torque bellhousing bolts evenly in a crisscross pattern.

10) Refit gearbox to tractor
- Use transmission jack to lift gearbox into position, align with engine dowels and start bolts by hand.
- Tighten bellhousing bolts to spec, reconnect linkages, driveshafts, electrical/hydraulic lines.
- Refill gearbox with correct lubricant to the specified level.
- Reconnect battery.

11) Final checks
- Run tractor; shift through all gears to check smooth operation and absence of noise.
- Check for leaks and correct fluid level after warm‑up.
- Recheck torque on external fasteners after first few hours of operation.

Common pitfalls & how to avoid them
- Reusing damaged snap rings/shims: replace them. Reusing can cause sudden failure.
- Pressing/hammering incorrectly: do not apply force to rollers or thin race lips — use correct driver. Wrong technique damages bearing and shaft.
- Incorrect bearing orientation: verify bearing type and orientation before installation.
- Not recording shim stack: always measure and mark shim thickness; incorrect shimning causes excessive endplay or preloading leading to noisy/short‑lived bearings.
- Reusing seals: always fit new oil seals when gearbox opened.
- Contamination: keep work area and parts very clean. Dirt in gearbox will destroy bearings quickly.
- Incorrect lubricant: use the specified oil grade and level — wrong oil can harm gear and bearing life.
- Overheating bearings while heating for fit: keep within safe temperature limits (~80–100°C recommended max unless manual states otherwise).

Quick tool usage notes
- Bearing puller: center forcing screw on shaft end; tighten slowly and evenly. Use back support plate behind bearing if outer race is flush with housing.
- Press: support adjacent components so only the intended race moves; use appropriately sized pressing adapters.
- Slide hammer: use only when bearing is free to move and you have a secure attachment to the bearing inner race or hub.
- Torque wrench: always use correct range; snug fasteners first then torque in pattern to final spec.

Final reminders
- Critical torque specs, shim thickness requirements and preload/endplay specifications vary by model and gearbox build — verify values in the Massey Ferguson workshop manual for 2210/2220/2230 and follow them exactly.
- If input shaft or housing is scored/damaged beyond light polishing, replace the shaft or gearbox housing components — a new bearing alone will not fix underlying shaft damage.

Done — follow the model workshop manual for the exact bolt counts, torque figures, and any model‑specific removal sequences.
