Sorry for a very late reply but my tablet or the app was preventing me from logging on.
The Glendinng tool to align the brackets is very easy to use and very inexpensive, under ten bucks. The Glendinng folks have always been most helpful. They recommend a dap of molybdenum grease on the small spring looking flywheel connection every year. I am overdue to order a pair of spares.
I removed both belt guards as I am almost never in the er with the engines running, especially by the front ends. However reading here I may reinstall the port cover if I can figure out how.
Yes - The port gear on my 400DA was replaced with a ZF85-IV. The 85 case is significantly improved eliminating the weak counter shaft bearing housings. It's that countershaft that the port gear runs on that fails on the HSW gears. The ZF85 also operates at a higher hydraulic pressure fully eliminating the risk of the clutches slipping. Dimensionally they are the same. The gear ratios are microscopically different if I remember correctly but to nothing noticeable. The HSW800 is not the same as the ZF85.Quick question here versus a new thread - I was pleasantly surprised today to find our Hurth/ZF HSW800-V2 referenced as the alternative PN to the ZF85-IV
I understand the ZF85 fixed some issues with the countershaft and is the preferred replacement to the ZF80 (which I always thought we had)
does anyone know for sure if the HSW800-V2 is the ‘improved’ model?

Thanks, Franks. I purchased it from a reputable online auto paint store, but you never know I guess. My engines, minus what I painted, look whiter than your photo. Yours looks closer in color to what I painted.
CAT has 2 different white colors.Yeah, mine look more like your white. I wonder if they had 2 different colors.
Ugh, now I find out...CAT has 2 different white colors.
