...and I did the one thing I was absolutely not supposed to do. I took care not to, I thought. I lost a bb. The drive shaft looks like it had somehow come undone in the front and spun freely inside the tube for a bit. It was together and the front drive was working fine when I took it apart. The...
Thank you for your guidance and encouragement Winston1, very much appreciated. This is one more part restored and on the way to being the true beauty it once was. Amazing to wonder how long it would have continued to serve under the conditions it was in previously. Possibly years before it...
Had to heat up the shift arm and bend it out further than I had already in order to get the proper engagement. The detent was tricky but I used some grease to hold the bbs in place while I tapped the shaft end with a rubber mallet. Then tapped it the rest of the way in, put in the snap ring, and...
I can confirm your speculation. A few taps and it started sliding off. Thank you.
Got to the part where I have to hold two steel balls with a spring between them and tap the shaft with my third hand...long day so I gave up until tomorrow. Good news is I cross referenced the shaft seal part...
So I got it down to here, I straightened out the shift arm and now and I’ve got a couple questions.
Are the bearings pressed on to the shaft or will they come off with some soft persuasion?
If not, how do I get the shift fork back in that groove while it’s on the shift lever?
Thanks for the confirmation, it dawned on me why leave the old one it has served 35 years now and that is probably more than I should ask of it. We will have a new one shipped while I finish the repair.
I thought I could just spin that arm around and get it out of there but the shaft is in the way. Can anyone offer experience on getting it out or at least sliding it back a bit to get the shift arm out and straighten it again?
Doing some grading in a tight spot the other day, ran the bucket up a maple sapling which lifted the front tires off the ground for a second and while doing so, I noticed the front wheels were in drive mode. Not usually a problem except the lever was in the 2wd position (up).
I noticed then...
None were broken but the outer one was slightly shorter than spec. My calipers are pretty beat up but there’s where they stand. Is being even a hair short enough to make it slip?
Thank you for the quick reply. The gasket is new but see the one that was on it is different. That is part of my question, the different gasket configurations. Can they both be the right one, just an updated model...?
It mainly slips in reverse. When it does slip in reverse, to the point it...
Here痴 what I致e got:
Classic slipping in forward a little and mostly reverse. I致e read enough to know I知 hunting for an issue in the lower shift area and that痴 not my question.
I removed the old gasket, ordered a replacement, put it on and it made no real difference. Took it off again and I...
Hello, I am a new member to the forum but not new to it as I have been lurking over what seems to be questions asked repepeatedly so I did not want to add to the noise initially. But I have come to that place I assume many members came to in their diy tractor weekend warrior efforts where...
