waiting for parts or other distractions.
YUBBY: I did remember ithe HST pedal spring, but I neglected to get the
charge pump hard line on before re-joining the tractor halves. 
I ordered a few extra shims to set the ring and pinion gear teeth. I stained
the teeth to look at the contact pattern. |
Dave,
Looking at the effort you have went through, I was glad to spend $10k on the 2000 B21 I picked up from the local rental yard. Other than it missing the 3 point hardware ($950 from Lebanon Kubota) it was in one piece and worked solid for 2 years-before my diff rebuild. Interesting enough the main reason the rental yard was selling it was that renters had broken the L-M-H shift forks three times in three years. (they would try to shift on the fly-yours sounds similar)
I never did check the gear pattern on my diff, got the shims close (with some play) and put it back together, but yours do look great!
Just out of curiousity, did you have to pull the front end off to get at the clutch?
Looking great though!
