Ford 4000 gasser trans/hydraulic connection question

Creekfisher · Feb 25, 2015

Look at the attached photos and tell me what the two holes/pins on either side of he PTO shaft are for. The photo of the inside of the hydraulic section is taken towards the trans and the second photo is of a metal "top hat" that was barely inserted over one of those pins...... What are they and are they necessary? The local ford dealer can't even find them in a schematic.

I'm not familiar with that model but they could be dowels to align the rear case to the transmission case.

Aren't those holes for the shift shaft rails? The top hat insert would likely be the bushing to allow them to pivot/rotate without wearing the trans casting.

Not a "for sure" just my best guess.

Post back if you find out otherwise.

maybe to seal fluid compartments from each other?

looked again, saw the flat side on shaft---surely its a shift rail, bet the top hats' are to seal..-No longer necessary if using same fluid in both gearboxes

Creekfisher, Welcome to YT! For future reference when looking for info on your 4000 tell weather it is a 4 cyl or three. The two models have the same number designation but are completely different.
