112 grader clutch alignment

Hello I'm in the process of an engine swap in a 112 grader. Any tips on making a alignment tool or the part# for the original tool. Thanks

I could not find a part number listed for the clutch alignment tool. The #12 service manual suggests using a tool made from a used shaft which I'm pretty sure would be the same for the 112.
Might investigate alignment tools for various automotive/truck applications once you have the shaft size and spline count.

Hi Team,
we had tools made from the large splined clutch plate adaptor that is mounted on the top transmission input shaft.
This in turn was mounted to a fabricated/machined handle to facilitate clutch plate alignment.
These drawings were available from Cat's Engineering Dept back in the day.

To use this adaptor from your machine you will need to remove the Power Control Box (P.C. Box) live drive shaft, the Trans input shaft support bearing in front of said adaptor and it should come off the Trans Input Shaft splines.
Make up a suitable handle to align the adaptor to the flywheel spigot bearing outer race inner bore and the inner bore of the P.C. Box splines.
Sounds easy enough I suppose if you have the tools/lathe available.
Or maybe just use a suitable bar up the centre of the adaptor to centre it, and therefore the clutch plates as best as possible--the live drive shaft can be a mongrel to start so bevel the leading and from memory the outer edges of the splines of both it and the flywheel splines a little to ease alignment.
Also use a heavy sacrificial rubber band to hold the Trans Input Shaft support bearing race rollers tightly in place so they do not droop down and inhibit insertion into its Outer Race.
These are some of the fun things I recall of attaching the Trans to the Engine on these Graders without the Engine Carriage--the unit needs to be dead true for best hope of success without tears.
Hope this helps.
Cheers,
Eddie B.

I think OM is correct there is no part number listed for the alignment tool, just the sketch and description in the 112 and 12 grader service information for the clutch and transmission. If you need a pic of the page let me know.

Here's what Cat suggests, not very useful if you don't have a doner shaft.

Hi OM,
that looks like what we had at The Dealer, but without the handle fitted to the inner threaded bore of the fabricated adaptor
.
As I described above he should have the large splined sleeve "7" on his existing Trans Input shaft.
Maybe the earlier Graders had only a large splined shaft ?, but, my 8T Servicemen's Reference Manual-- Form No 30124-1, dated 07-53, and shows the removable adaptor sleeve and how to remove/refit it.

Cheers,
Eddie B.
