Stormin 9,981 #1 Posted June 22, 2020 I had this '75 Raider 10 trans lying about. So this morning, being at a loose end, I decided to check it out. First thing first, check the oil. No dipstick of course so stuck a rod down the filler/level hole. Nothing! Dry as a bone. Also nothing would turn. Drive shafts or pulley that was still on. Pulley can off quite easily with the aid of a 3 leg pulley. Much to my surprise. Next split the cases. They took a bit of persuading to part, but eventually did so. What a mess. Every bearing is seized. As I most likely never use it, I don't think it's worth replacing them and rebuilding cost wise. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
oliver2-44 9,860 #2 Posted June 22, 2020 Doesen't look to bad, compared to some water filled ones. Clean it up, give everything a lite coat of oil or grease, leave the old bearings and bolt it back together. Then you will have spare transmission parts ready to pull and use.

Tractorhead 9,065 #3 Posted June 22, 2020 I would give it a Try to rework. soak few Day‘s in Oil, exchange the open Bearings, clean the gear with a steelbrush from loose Rust. maybe a etank will do the better finish. Seems a good work for a complete rainy day. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
meadowfield 2,594 #4 Posted June 22, 2020 whats the input shaft and 2/3 gear cluster like Norm? I'm after one... my 1970 commando box has no 3rd gear as it's badly mashed... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Stormin 9,981 #5 Posted June 22, 2020 Everything looks ok, Mark. Just filthy. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
stevasaurus 22,863 #6 Posted June 23, 2020 Should be a #5084 transmission. 4 speed, 4 pinion with 1" axles...might be the same type transmission Mark has #5085. Norm's trans would clean up like new with electrolysis, maybe the #1533 bearings would even be OK. I would change out the needle bearings, and rebuild it or let Mark rebuild it. A couple of parts and Mark has a good spare. I would think every Wheel Horse anything is worth saving if it is in the UK. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
