GT-1642 Tranny Replacement

[KB9LOR 4]

Okay everyone, started on the tranny replacement on the GT-1642 Workhorse, here are some pics:

Seat Pan off, Notice the broken frame end where fuel tank mounts, ouch!

Right Side view

Left Side view

Top View fuel tank removed

Clutch Arm broke, all I did is pull on the cotter pin, anyone have one? and how in the heck do you get it off?

That's not unusual to see the back corners of the hoodstand broke off and it's nothing a little welding won't fix.

The clutch rod arm is held to the shaft with a roll pin. Once the roll pin is out, move everything away from the tensioner arm on the opposite side and tap the shaft through the arm with a pin punch.

The arm is still available new for under $20 (P/N 105896-03) if you can't find one from someone here.

While your at the welders have the clutch arm welded too. That looks to be cast iron,

it can be welded with a nickel rod or brazed with brass.

It is cast, but it may cost more to have it welded than to buy a new one, I will check out having it welded anyways, just to see how much. I will be doing the repairs on the hoodstand, I have a small wire feed welder to take care of that.

got the dash tower and clutch arm sitting in front of the house. you can stop by any time and pick it up. all i need back from it or from the 1648 are the lift parts in case i take the electric lift off the 417.

Thanks Jason, I owe you, anytime you need any of my xtra parts, your welcome to them. BTW- check out this weld job, I guess after rolling the tractor 3 times you have these type of repairs! lol
