Alright. So every step that I try to do to get it running I end up having to dig deeper. And this weekend was no exception. Right now the plans are to rip it down to the tranny and evaluate that before I try to start it. The radiator leaks and the starter engages but doesn't spin so those both need fixed. You can't judge a book by its cover definately applies to this. Looks good on the outside, but the inside is a completely different story.

Yes I broke the tach.... laid it on the platform and it rolled off when I bumped it.....

Battery Box Removed

With the Help of a torch of course.... The bolts were in so tight I had to heat them up red hot with a torch to get them out

Oil from the TA Section

Draining the Oil from the hydraulic unit. Had the consistency of a chocolate milkshake, and looked like sausage gravy that you put over biscuits.

I apologize for not posting any of my videos. I had thought I did, but appearantly I didn't. I have the video I did of when I brought it home, the first update, then the update after I worked on it this weekend.

All of my videos are done in HD, but youtube default plays at 360p, so if you want to see a little better quality you can bump it up and get a little better picture.

I need to update this thread... just not tonight. All new bearings and bushings are going in it. Just the bearings alone are $815 and those aren't case. Case wanted 133/piece for each of the axle bearings and there's four of them. NSK don't say IH on them, but they're good bearings and I'm sure I"ll never wear them out as much as this thing will see use.

Time to split it and start disassembling the tranny

Pulling the gear train I sliced my finger open on the gears

I done broke it....

How the Heck am I going to get this nut off? It's 2 1/4" by the way. 3/4" airgun and the only socket I could get to go on it was the 2 1/2 since the nut was so beat up, took it right off

 

[Reese92PA]

There was a pretty good gap between the end cap and the axle

Super MD got duals!

 

[Reese92PA]

On the nut, I work at a machine shop and I was honestly just going to mill out a new hex, drill it out, and tap a new hole. The threads are not sharp at all on the old nut and was either over tightened or something in the past because the high point of the threads are pretty much non-existant. I have big enough sockets for on the air gun, so I can put it on without having to use the chisel and a hammer plus I wouldn't have to cut the grooves into the sides for a chisel. I think the nut is supposed to be 2 1/4, but because the corners were busted up so bad, I could only get a 2 3/8 on it, and I had to use the air grinder and a hammer to get the socket to go on. It spun right off.

All i got right now soundguy

Axles pulled and one housing cleaned up

Bottom transmission shaft chucked up in the lathe to clean up a chamfer. Keep in mind that the shaft is 2.5" diameter. It's not a little shop lathe

The bushings that I pressed out and the assorted pins I made to press them out

 

[Reese92PA]

Just got done tearing the PTO unit apart. After I get this back together, it's just a matter of assembly of the whole thing.

Appearantly I didn't get a picture of the bare casting, but that's what its down to now. There really aren't a lot of parts to it.

 

[Reese92PA]

I have all but two of the PTO bearings. Seals are on their way. The only thing I need to order yet is bushings for the tranny. Every new bearing, seal, gasket, and O-ring in the tranny and PTO will be new. All worn parts are being replaced or fixed up so they're not loose anymore. Mass assembly soon to come just as soon as I get all my parts

 

[Reese92PA]

Seals arrived yesterday. I forgot to order one bearing, so now I'm waiting on 3. The bearing shop had two of them marked as in, but they weren't in my box and he couldn't find them, so he re-ordered them. Last month of school so school work is starting to kick up, this might have to wait until school is done

 

[Reese92PA]

Have all the bearings and all the seals! I'm pretty stacked with school, so chances are that I won't get back to it until the end of April.

 

[Reese92PA]

Well I've made quite a bit of progress with it. Don't know what the last video I posted was, but I'm up fairly high now. Tranny is completely back together. Went to join it back to the TA section and a wrench fell down in the TA and i discovered because of that I have a bad throwout. Split it at the front and ripped the TA down. on the bright side, TA is good. Don't know about the clutch but its getting replaced. Pulled my main clutch only to find that theres cracks in my flywheel. There was a ton of tiny springs laying in my bell housing that I dont know where they came from as well as a tooth from a gear and another unidentifiable piece. all bearings are on order. clutch is crazy expensive and just trying to find out what i want to do, whether to get everything or just a plate for now just so i can get it back together. newest video is uploading now, will post it when its done.

School for me starts the 26th. The show is the 7-9 so I gotta get moving on this thing. After I get a clutch, I don't think there's too much to do except for wiring. I brought the flywheel and all the machines parts of the clutch into work today to see what I can get done with them. Hopefully my pressure plates are good. If they are, I'm just going with new discs. I'm going to rebuild the ta do this will be apart in the future, and I'll do complete new clutches then
