Pullstart 62,851 #28 Posted October 17 @WH654 bottom line, if you want a transmission with low range, it’s hard to say you could go wrong. Most of us with round hoods and low range, did it before looking around on the internet. That’s the beauty of Wheel Horse. Simple. Tough as nails. Always improving. On the older designs. 3 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
stevasaurus 22,736 #29 Posted October 17 OK...the 3 Limited Slip manual transmissions (#5060, #5071 & #5073) all have 10 pinion differentials and that means they also have 1 1/8" axles...all of them !! All Wheel Horse transmissions (and there are 3 & 4 & 8 speed ones) that have 4 pinion differentials are 1" axles. In other words, if you have 1" axles, you have a 4 pinion differential...all of them !! All Wheel Horse manual transmissions that have 1 1/8" axles have either 8 or 10 pinions...and are 6 or 8 speed...all of them !! The exception is the Wheel Horse "Heavy Duty" transmission. This one has 1 1/8" axles with the bevel gear differential...it is on a few horses like the #953 and is a 3 speed. 3 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

WH654 23 #31 Posted October 18 Well, the guy that was selling the raider 10 from Facebook sent me more photos of the tractor and it looks rough. The trans tunnel is full of leaves like it’s been sitting outside uncovered and both axle seals are leaking. i’m in no hurry because I wouldn’t work on this until spring so, I’ll look for a better tractor/transmission.

stevasaurus 22,736 #32 Posted October 18 Well, if you are going to wait that long, you might as well wait until next June and find a good one at the "BIG" show. Wheel Horse Collector's Club Show in Penn. BTW, the detent spring measures 3/16" OD x 1 3/16" Long. It is a little heavier gage the a ball point pen spring. 1 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
