Lane Ranger 10,992 #1 Posted July 28, 2017 The easiest and quickest way to bolt up a four bolt Wheel Horse transmission to the frame of your tractor is to make yourself two 3/8 studs to set in the top two holes of the transmission (side that bolts into frame) . The studs protrude enough to align the frame on the transmission. Bolt up your bottom bolts then remove the studs one at a time , replacing with the other two 3/8 transmission bolts and lock washers. 16 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

19richie66 17,523 #5 Posted July 28, 2017 I have some of those I made for splitting our ford tractors we had here. Big dowel pins pretty much. Great idea Lane 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
daveoman1966 3,762 #6 Posted July 28, 2017 Similar studs are directed in the Sundstrand manual (to align the hidden O-rings )for the separated system as in the D series as I have made several of them. Once the hex head is off, use hack saw to cut a slot for a flat screwdriver to remove the stud. Works great... 5 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
953 nut 55,874 #7 Posted July 28, 2017 I have a pair of 3/8-16 X 2" set screws that I use. They align the transaxle and I run nuts up on them to snug it into place and then insert the lower bolts. Once the lower bolts are tight I replace them with regular bolts.Couple of bucks, but saves a lot of time. 8 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
squonk 41,413 #8 Posted July 28, 2017 Add in a HF lift table. Have the frame on stands. Put the tranny on the table. Lift the tranny with the table and roll the tranny in place. 5 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Sarge 3,463 #10 Posted July 29, 2017 I do it with the wheels on the rear axle , roll it into place using a floor jack to hold the nose up and align it with the frame - never had an issue . Sarge 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
