Bearings in 60 trans

Has anyone been into a 60 trans? If I apply the brakes while in second gear it will make a loud grinding sound and the tractor will stop moving. An old JD mechanic told me that it would just need bearings if the gears are ok. Also, what should I expect to pay for bearings? Anything else I should know before I tear into it?

Keith, that could be a bearing problem or other shaft alignment or gear problem.. Most trans noise problems trace back to either bad bearings, worn parts, or worn gears though.. Your problem could even be brake or brake bushing related.

~As far as cost goes?.. That really depends on what you find when you pull it apart.. I usually have roughly around $500.00 give or take a little on most of those numbered series trans/differential/axle bearing replacements but it could go much higher if other problems are found.. It depends a lot on how many bearings are bad, if they are still available [a lot of new departure bearings are not available anymore & some don't easily cross to a comparable modern bearings], & how much bearing wear you are willing to live with before replacement.. The big money will be in gears, shafts & counter shaft idler gear/bearing problems..

~If you have bad bearings that have been run that way for a long time you could also have main case bearing bore wear or 1st reduction case bearing bore wear & that will take some welding/machining or other sleeves or measures taken..

~Problem is on those 2-cylinder transmissions it is like opening Pandora�s box.. Once you get it apart there really isn�t an easy way to stuff all those parts back in without making repairs..
