Follow up on my 5010 trans.

[soder33 4]

Thanks for the welcome.  It has been a learning experience tearing down the trans and differential.   I was able to located some parts to fix the diferential on my 1960, 400 Suburban, but am still looking for a couple of things.  I need 1 axel gear, 3530 and 2 spider gears, 3531.  That is all that is needed to get her back to work. If you have any of  these I would very much like to talk to you.  The help would be very much appreciated.

Trying to locate those parts for you.  What did you end up doing for the bull gear (differential housing?

There is an old small engine shop by us that use to be a Wheel Horse dealer. I knew he had some old parts tractors in the back, so I stopped.  He had no suburbans. He thought he had some old parts for one though.  Sure enough, he had the differential case that matched mine in the number of teeth. It was missing the axels, axel gears and the spider gears. Those he could not find.  Since mine had only chewed up one side, I can use the good one and only need 2 spider gears and on axle gear to complete.  Sometimes a guy gets lucky.

Thanks for the help.

Hi Sodor33,

 

If you are still looking for the 3531 Spider Gears, I just ran across 4 New, Old Stock while listing obsolete parts on Ebay for our shop.  I can give you first dibs and save me the headache of Ebay if you are still in need.
