pfrederi 17,866 #26 Posted July 17, 2019 3 minutes ago, stevasaurus said: I'm going to vote negledgeable. Reason being...the #1528 or B-1816 has lasted 40, 50, 60 years without being replaced in most transmissions. At almost 1/3 the price of the "J"-1816 and knowing that it made it's appearance in the 1976 transmissions...why spend the extra money. If you maintain your transmission, I see no need to spend the extra bucks. I also kind of like the extra bearings supporting the axle on the out ends. Me too I sort of wonder why WH changed to the J bearing was it cheaper back then?? or was it better??? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
stevasaurus 22,863 #27 Posted July 17, 2019 Paul...weird things happen in Indiana. RacinBob moved back there after a number of years in Florida. Most of us just drive through that state. Wheel Horse did just use the #103907 exclusively for their manual transmissions in 1977. In 1978 they went to the #103916. That uses the #11199 needle bearing (in place of the #1533 ball bearing) because of the shortage. I have to check to see if they still used that #`105219 in the 3rd generation Section V transmission. 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
clueless 3,011 #28 Posted July 17, 2019 So getting back to the original question, the trans you have will do every thing you want it to do plus more. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
stevasaurus 22,863 #29 Posted July 17, 2019 Chris...that has been stated many times through out this thread. How is the heat down there?? Like a wall, I suspect. Actually, we have not got off tangent with what he stated from the start. One of the things that was asked..." I was curious what the differences were in the upgraded trans." BTW...Florida has come to Illinois this weekend. I am not responsible for most of the things I say between now and next Monday (when the temp goes down). Stay thirsty my friends. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

19richie66 17,522 #31 Posted July 17, 2019 It was 116* in my truck today when I got in it to go home. Took a temperature reading on the asphalt right outside the shop before I left....153* and that was about 2pm. Definitely a wall..... a hot wall at that. 2 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Firebug 267 #33 Posted July 17, 2019 So as long as mine isn’t locked up or full of saw dust I have the strongest transmission I could put under it that should last a long time with proper maintenance 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I think the hi-low 8 pinion transmissions were the strongest. That is if I have studied my Stevasaurus manual correctly.👍 2 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Pullstart 63,096 #38 Posted July 5, 2020 Yes, any 8 speed @KrazeyOlDave . I mentioned Dave Mercer in hour bucket tractor build thread. He might have something he’s gone through sitting there waiting. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
