I was able to find my packaging and confirmed the part number was the expected value.
It is possible there's a pair, but the bore of the axle/knuckle is going to still be an issue. I think there was some clearance around the horizontal gear. Your picture certainly brings some perspective to...
Interesting. I'll check to see if I saved my part number anywhere. I'm pretty sure the numbers matched the expectation. I think the shaft had been updated. The diagram showed a circlip to capture the gear and the new shaft just has a machined shoulder.
Mine was bought at a J&J auction in...
Hi there! I'll preface this response with the acknowledgement that I'm not a real machinist, not really even a fake one.
I would say anything over 0.005 or so would be well outside of manufacturing tolerance. That's just the size of that gear, a new one will be the same dimensions.
I'm not a...
I got this all back together just in time for another round of storms. A 4wd tractor does a lot better in the snow than a 2wd ;)
There wasn't much online about setting these bevel gears up so I figured I'd post my crude methods. I know the widths are not the same between the gear I'm measuring...
Thanks again!
If anyone is curious here are my shiny new gears. Pretty beefy by my eyes, 3/4" chisel for reference. The loader is tweaked on this thing and I assume the broken front axle is related. Must have been a serious event.
Now just to get this thing shimmed and back together. Then...
And I thought all hope was lost. You have a very nice website and I'll be placing an order shortly.
I see the backlash shims still exist as well! That will save me some trouble. Maybe my first hipshot will work, unless you might know if there is a common starting thickness (I fully...
Hello, first post.
This is probably a long shot but I just purchased a 2003 DK45 (in cub cadet 8454ss form) from a shameless individual who had removed 3 of the bevel gears and vertical shafts from the front end after what I assume was some kind of breakage.
Anyway that's water under the bridge...
