Stevasaurus, the tranny went back together beautifully — thanks to your guidance! Those videos that you shared are indispensable  :text-thankyoublue: .

The proof will be in the pudding, when I get back in the saddle and tell it to giddyup!

There is no way to guide both shift levers up through the frame rails, because the brake cross-over shaft (from the brake pedal on the right to the brake linkage on the left)

is in the way. I will either take the tranny off once more and angle it down to try to sneak the hi/lo lever under the brake part, or I will have to dismantle the brake assembly

to get it out of the way. 

But this will have to wait a week, as I am off on a photographic safari, north along the New England coast. Fenway Park tomorrow evening (I am, for what it is worth, a  NY Yankee's fan)

and in Maine for lobster by Wednesday. So it probably won't be until next Sunday that I have a chance to work this problem out. 

If anyone else has run into this problem, I would love to learn just how you solved it. This whole project has been like a wonderful puzzle (and,so far, I don't have any pieces left over!).

You will not be able to get  the shifter under that brake crossover shaft without doing more damage than you need :angry-banghead:  (my advice is take the brake part out  it's much easily that way) been their and done that :thumbs: And I don't think the brake assembly was in before the transmission was installed at the factory.

I would listen to Chas here...even the manual says you may have to figure it out with each tractor. :bow-blue:   Thanks Chas. :)

      1984 C Series, dump trailer and leaf impeller
      By davidfindlay
      Looking to find a new home for my 84 (I think) C-145. It has a dump trailer with the enclosure for leaves, the PTO impeller to get the leafs into the trailer, the hoses for deck-to-impeller, impeller-to-trailer.
       
      I haven’t run it in over a year.
      The battery and the cable to the battery probably need to be replaced.
      Comes with a new head gasket still in the bag.
      Seat is cracked but still comfortable.
       
      Happy to answer questions or take other pictures.

      8 spd Transmission for sale
      By giant_g2
      Not sure on specific model. This 8 spd came attached to a plow I bought. It had some water in it for a couple weeks according to the prior owner. I drained it, sloshed some diesel in it, drained that, then filled with fresh oil. Spinning the input shaft by hand, I can see the axels turn. Hasn't leaked any oil. I'm not really interested in shipping, so I'd prefer local sales.

      Wanted wheel horses
      By 87 416-8 horse
      I’m looking for wheel horse tractors for sale or for parts in the Eastern Nebraska or western Iowa area. Preferably 8 speed manuals. Pm me or comment with what you have. The worst I could say is it’s out of my price or distance range. Edit: engine is not important, it’s going to get an engine swap.
      Thanks,
      John

      predator 420 pto
      By BrianStasC-101
      Hello all. I am looking for suggestions on adapting the pto from my C series tractor to a harbor freight predator 420 13hp engine. I know the predator motors are a controversial topic however it is the route I have chosen for this particular machine. The intent was to mostly use it for plowing so no PTO required but it would be handy to have. Looking to hear from someone that has successfully done the swap that may offer any advice before I attempt to transfer it over. Just looking for any general pointers that will help me along the way to make it go as smoothly as possible.
