How much of a PIA is it to work on one of these? How many special tools required?
The unit in my backhoe (65(?) 3500) seems to have a broken or disconnected forward band - about 1/2 of the gears don't work. Those that do work seem to to work properly and there doesn't seem to be any other issues. However, having all of the gears working would be nice, and I can't imagine that having that band flopping around in there is doing much good.
The question though is how much of a pain is it likely to turn into trying to take the unit apart? I've done a lot of mechanical work and have a decent tool setup but haven't done much trans work.
Thanks,
