820 2 cylinder 1st speed gears

wondering what is all required to switch the 1st speed gears on a 2 cylinder 820? can you just remove the flywheel and the transmission side cover and switch the gears or is there more to it than that? mine has the creeper gears and i would like to go the the standard gears.
 
Going off of my memory I do believe it's that easy. I think you'd have to pull the gear shifter arm and shaft out some to get one of the gears out, it might take a little finagling to get it lined up with the gear shifter without seeing what you're doing but I don't think it'd be too bad.

I don't know what the timeline is for your gear swap, I have the standard speed gears in my 80 and I'd be willing to swap, but I'm not the fastest on working on stuff haha

probably wont happen till winter at the soonest, just trying to find out if its possible or not, if I have to tear apart the whole transmission ill probably leave it as is.
 
I don't know for a fact but I remember hearing of guys swapping them out for tractors pulls and then back later on. So it might not of been super hard to do.
 
I'll try to find pictures or look though the manual again but I do believe it is as simple as you described, pull the flywheel and the small cover and pull out the gears. I was mistaken about the shifter being a possible problem, you could pull out that fork/shaft out far enough to remove the gear no problem. The other gear is removed by removing a big castle nut on the end of the shaft. This is off of memory but I don't think too bad of a job

I attached a picture of when I opened mine up about 10 years ago!

good deal, I was hoping it was all that was required. is that a mud shield over the brake for operation in rice fields in the upper right corner partially hidden by the tire?
 
I would take the tapered bolt out of the fork. If you pull the shaft out to far the detect may fall in then you will have a lot more to do
 
You have a good eye, yes it is a mud shield, the tractor is a Rice Tractor

Kent had a good point about the shifter shaft, sorry, like I said it's been a while.

nice. my ex brother-in-laws dad has an 80 with the rice shields and a cab. that was before I knew enough about these 80/820/830's to really know what they were talking about though.
 
my thoughts exactly, back out that set screw and slide gear and fork off.

I have experienced sliding a shaft to far and dropping a detent on my 720 luckily it was the one from the top of the transmission case, all I had to do was remove the plug and gut it picked up with a magnet. I don't want to have to find out what would be involved on one of these were that to happen.
 
The winter schedule would probably work for me if you did want to consider a swap.

The first speed detent is external, under a bolt, I remember because mine wouldn't shift in or out of first well, and I found it was all rusty. Though that wasn't it either, the shifter shaft actually had a slight bend, enough for it to bind when it travelled through the side of the case.
