Terry M-(Moderator) 2,175 #76 Posted April 22, 2012 all trans parts cleaned and ready to install. I wanted to paint the trans caseings first, but I'll wait for warm weather and do it after the trans is done. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Martin 2,132 #77 Posted April 22, 2012 looking good terry! hey, i really enjoyed doing my first trans. good experience. nice when everything is cleaned up and you get to put it together with new seals and bearings. good that the stuff is easily available.... on painting the trans. i did my casings for the 1057 while apart, but only because i did them in powder. the trans on my 1054 was done with rattle cans and trans was together. much easier. and you get some paint across that join between the halves. when painting it apart you can see the gasket and bare mating surfaces, thats the only thing i dont like about the way i did the 1057 one.

bowtiebutler956 650 #83 Posted April 22, 2012 If my a/c broke down Terry, I'd be fine, but I'd have to send my wife up there to cold country to stay at your house. There's an idea, I'll send my wife up there to hang out with your wife, and you come down here, and we'll work on our Horses in the middle of my living room floor. I've always wanted to do that. :ROTF: You too Martin! Come on. Matt :flags-texas: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Terry M-(Moderator) 2,175 #86 Posted April 23, 2012 Took a few snapshot while I put the tranny together. everything went good, but those bearings went in harder than i thought they would. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Terry M-(Moderator) 2,175 #87 Posted April 23, 2012 put the caseings together and every thing seems to turn and shift good. Had a problem with the brake seal popping off during the test assembly. so I just waited to reinstall it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Terry M-(Moderator) 2,175 #88 Posted April 23, 2012 did the final assembly and it went good ! painted the gasket surface on both sides of caseings with lock-tite brand gasket sealer before installing gasket. Stuff is suppost to work really good. bought some new hardware and bolted every thing together and reinstalled oil seal on brake shaft. all seem to go well! Installed shifter for the real test. all gears work and turn well ,shifts smooth and works flawlessly. Now the real test will be when I fill it with oil , attatch it to a frame with wheels and an engine drive it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Terry M-(Moderator) 2,175 #95 Posted May 16, 2012 Well...I finally got some more done. Here is a few pics . 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Terry M-(Moderator) 2,175 #96 Posted May 16, 2012 And here is the rolling frame. Took a while to get to this point , but Its nice to see something resembling a Tractor. Had to put on a couple of Glens parts on just for fun and see how they look. Pushed it around the yard like a kid in a sandbox to try out the trans. everything feels and sounds good. It's really nice to have a 3rd gear back! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
