Thanks, Clooney I have checked the countershaft bearings; The left one looked good, and the right one looked good, but the retainer or what I am calling the retainer, the part that holds the little roller bearings in place, is a little loose on the inner race. What I mean is that I can slide the retainer holding the roller bearings on the race. There is no real slop,and the rollers are in there tight, but I can slide it around a little. Maybe this is a characteristic of a tapered bearing....As far as the sliding gear shaft is concerned....I have what I think is a Behlen box on the tractor, and I cannot get the top gear off. Four different posi lock pullers later, and I gave up. I did grab the shaft and try to move it up down left or right, and it felt tight...The tractor had been overhauled in the 60's but I don't know if the tranny was touched...If you say that the bearing which goes between the sliding gear shaft and the drive gear are tough, I will take your word...It feels ok, but the drive gear must depend on that bearing on the far end to keep it straight. Without it, like it is now, it can wiggle. That's all I can figure...I will dig into it tomorrow morning and will post a follow up later in the day...would like to have it done this weekend
Thanks much...AC
