We have a 1963 550 diesel with a superior loader I use for light work around my place.. It originally came off a dairy farm so while it was taken care of it led a hard life.
About a year ago I went to use it and something came unglued in the transmission and the shifter went limp, and it wouldnt roll or move. Not good. I was hoping for something wrong in the shift rails and and easy fix, but this fall when I finally found time to pick the hydraulic unit off, I found disaster.
Im not sure what started it but the rear bearing cap on the top shaft is broke in two,and the bolts on that cap and the forward one are both broken out of the main casting! On top of that, the pinion must have climbed the ring gear and tore up some teeth on both of those. Soo not good.
It must have been injured when we got it cause I know I didnt work it hard enough to cause all of that!
Sooo.. Does anyone have a complete transmission in the western new york area? Of course now that I need one I cant find one!lol
If I get a chance I will go take some pics of it...
Thanks in advance
