Forgive me for the re-post. I need to get this back to work.
I have a Case 1740 Uni-Loader. It's been a great machine.
Recently I have been noticing some excessive vibration in the drive line, I needed to finish a small project so I have been keeping the RPM's low to prevent the vibration. Wasn't sure if it was coming from the Adapter Assembly drive plate ( p# D64523 $1,300 ouch ) or the rear end yoke that hooks up to the gear box. The variable drive speed control had been leaking also so thought it would be a great time to get familiar with this repair. I already had purchased the kit for the vari-drive. Got all the parts off and the adapter plate is loose in every way possible and the bearing end of the front end yoke is a little beat up. The other end yoke looks a little worn but seems serviceable.
So now to my question.
I can have a solid adapter plate made for about $650 including a new front end yoke. Has any one tried this and what problems would going rigid create? I notice that the 1737 has a solid front yoke. I wonder if that can be adapted to this application?
Or just buy the stock parts and keep it Original. Bearing, Front Yoke, and Adapter plate all for about $1,700
Any input would be appreciated
