Since the tractor is already split e decided to look in the tranny to see what we had. Found 1st and 3rd gear were flaking so both sliding gears need to be replaced. We also took the rear housing off to check out the differential, all the gears there are good. However, I tried to pull the bull pinion carrier to get a better look at the differential and broke the housing. My service manual says it will come out, but it's wrong. You need to pull the bull gear to get it out. It was partially cracked anyway, so it's good it will be replaced. Oh well, not the first and likely not my last mistake.

You just never know what you might find in those older tractors. You might have saved a major breakdown in the future.I pulled the starting engine on my D2 cat to replace the crank seal and thought I better check the rod brgs. Darned if the previous owner had been in there and forgot the locks on the rod brg. bolts Just like your tractor--it could have been BAD later. Have a great day,Jon!!
