Hello Forum Chums,
Bought a Tranny years ago....the price was too good to pass up. A
guy was parting out a 48.....got a really tight steering box as also.
Getting to work on the 8n high crop conversion...and the tranny in
it has 2nd gear issues....so.....cover off the replacement tranny ...the gears look
pristine....everything nice and tight....now the bad news.....it had sat
for so long ....throw out bearing would not move......PB blasted my
brains out.....got the fork rod to finally move with a 3 foot pipe
wrench.....oh the fun was just getting started...turns out that this
tranny had an early 48....or late 47 linkage....so had to remove the
fork....you have no idea how stubborn that little pin was to leave its
home...so...ready to split the tractor.....retrieve my newer
linkage...and go to town....finally to the questions.....while
everything is broken down.....any considerations other than to
replace the main front shaft seal??......should I replace anything in
the PTO assembly?...seals or bearings??...any other thoughts or
pitfalls from anyone who has been here??
