types of transmissions

[Soundguy]

I'm convinced that it's safer when operating on hilly, uneven ground. .

Safety inherently lies with the operator.

That thing on top of your shoulders that holds up yer hat is the ultimate safety device.. sadly.. most peole don't use theirs....

That can get real expensive. Have a look...

Will; what are we I supposed to see? The rear main cap looks a little different... the round hole and the notch at the bottom don't look like they should be there. But, maybe that's a design feature to keep the bearing in place.

I'm confused - the block looks good to me.. 'Course it would look much better if all the intestines were in place and it was mounted under the hood again!

Yes very true! All those gray cells as; "Hercule" would say, that enable the common fellow to choose the proper equipment required to do a proper job for the task he has in mind.

The donour tractor this A3.152 came was the unfortunate tractor that was driven by a clutch rider who had no idea what free play was. The area that is gold was cause by either/or a clutch rider, and no free play in the clutch pedal whatsoever. The result was having the crank actually pushed into the block, crank was toast, and block needed repair.

If i can find the before pics, i will post them

Maybee that would help.. as the after pics are less than revealing with no frame of 'previous' reference.

Any tractor transmission that you rarely have to use your brakes with even on the scariest of hills and situations is by far a safer piece of equipment. But hey that is just my opinion. My actions refect my thoughts because the transmission type on all 3 of my tractors is HST.

Devices alone do not safe situations make....

An idiot with a near idiot proof device can kill himself.... a very safe person with a dangerous implement is where my money is at.. if I had to choose between the 2.

Ever wonder why there are safety lables on lawn mowers telling you not to pick them up by the sides .. say.. to trim your hedges... that's right... some idiot has tried it...

I'll stick with my 'brain' as the best safety equipment I have on any of my tractors...vs anything OSHA or a CPS law had to mandate...

But gee, it seems there are a lot of us incapable of getting it in gear for all the time! And where does that leave us?

That's exactly my point.. if you are not using your head.. no piece of manufacturer / dealer installed safety equipment is going to save your life... an unsafe operator.. or one that is distracted IS going to eventually get hurt.. seatbelt, rops, HST trans or not... Ya got to engage the brain before you start stepping on pedals and turning keys.. etc..

That is true but we challenged ones need all the help we can get !

How does one do that all the time?? Some of us are flawed!
