Part of the Case IH Repair Manuals.
Somewhere there is a printed answer for how these compact diesels come apart, and this is it: the Case IH 234, 244, 254 service manual PDF, factory document GSS-1507-1, 316 pages covering all three tractors. Fourteen sections run from splitting the tractor through front axle, steering, engine, fuel system, cooling, clutch, transmission, differential, rear axle carriers, brakes, PTO and mower drive, and hydraulics. Wiring diagrams map the electrical system, hydraulic schematics trace oil from the pump to the hitch case, and troubleshooting charts let you test a fuel shut off that refuses to respond. Hold steering shaft ball nut end play between 0 and 0.03 mm (0.001 inch), and pull size 32 hydraulic fittings to 225 to 240 ft lb. Splitting a tractor is miserable enough to do once. Bookmarked, keyword searchable pages let you verify the measurement, order the right part the first time, and get your 234 back in the field while the weather holds.
