Hope someone can help. We have a 2n the steering arm got broken yesterday. We have a parts tractor and to save more damage we broke down the parts tractor first. We got as far as splitting the case. This is the problem the case will not split all bolts are out what can be holding it?

Not sure where you are trying to split. The tractor between the engine and transmission or removing the steering box from the transmission? If the former, try raising or lowering the transmission a little as you pry the two parts apart. If the later, the steering box should just lift off if I remember right.
A badly stuck clutch shaft is one thing.
Sometimes the clutch shaft gets frozen with corrosion to the clutch disc and won't slide out of the disc while trying to seperate the clutch housing from the engine. This would show on a running tractor as a clutch that drags when trying to disengage, or worse, a clutch that won't disengage if the disc is stuck too.
On my 41 9n,which should be the same as your 2n,there are just the 6 bolts holding the steering gear in place. I didn't see
any dowels,but tractors may have been changed through the years of production. On mine,it was stubborn,but with a couple of
blows with a rubber hammer,it gave up. Two of the bolts on the front/upper side may be hard to see and get to because "gunk"
may have built up,but there are holes in the battery tray support for access.

You stated, "The 2 larger parts will not separate ." Are you sure your working on a 2N Ford? My '44 2N has a one piece steering box and I don't remember any locating dowel pins.
You have to post a number of times before you can upload photos for some reason. Although there is some way to ask permission, but I don't know what that is. Hopefully one of the gurus will come along and help with that.

Yes that is what I am working on. I need to replace number 26 and part 11 I can't get off on parts tractor. Thanks for the onfo on starter button I was just wondering if it was the problem. I have already cracked the top case of parts tractor dont want to break the other one. It acts like its still bolted down.
I asume you have removed the hood, battery box and dash.
If so you have 6 bolts 1 is in front of the starter button, 1 180 degress from it under the ingnition lock and 2 on each side.
If it will not break loose, someone may have had it aprart and put some kind of gasket sealer on it. You may need to bump it with a dead blow hammer.
I rebuilt my 2n steering several year ago, with no problems.

Use a putty knife and drive it in at the joint.
