Hello everyone. I bought my first tractor about a year ago for bush hogging and other uses on my 9 acres. It has performed perfectly since I learned they made an overrunning clutch, it doesn't have live power. The first couple of times bush hogging were interesting! I have a 1963 Ford 2000 4 cyl. gas engine with a 4 speed transmission. It also has a FEL that come in very handy. Not sure of the brand since there is no tag or stamping #'s on it anywhere. The last time I was hauling a roll of hay I noticed a knocking noise in the tranny area. I first thought maybe something in the clutch or pressure plate had come loose. The noise would go away when you pressed the clutch pedal in. Then it seemed to lock up when placed in gear and begin to roll. I could still drive it but did it very slowly. I took the top off of the tranny and found one of the gears(possibly 3rd gear if I done my research correctly) had some teeth broken off. I am considering breaking this thing apart myself and trying to repair the tranny. I know once I do there may be other issues that I may not be able to see until it is apart.
My question is: what other Ford 4 spd. tranny internal gears will interchange with my tractor? In other words I have found a complete gear cluster, which has all the gears for the top shaft on them, for about the same price as the 1 gear; but it is from a 8N tractor. Will a 8n, 2n, 9n, or any other model tranny gear or gears interchange in my tranny? Thank you in advance for any wisdom you could share.
