Pullstart 63,096 #3 Posted July 2, 2020 Is it from Wheel Horse as a sales tool, or custom made? 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I don't know? unless someone has photos of one from back in the day or knows the piece is 100% as genuine, I am thinking it's custom made. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Tractorhead 9,065 #6 Posted July 2, 2020 However, i find it is a nice gadget for a Wheelhorse Stable. 👍 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dalez 137 #7 Posted July 3, 2020 TroyBilt did a similar cut-a-way with their tiller transmission. Had it on a stand and maybe had a handle on it to rotate the gears IIRC. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Factory cutaways would typically have holes and cutaways to show EVERYTHING. Differential and pinions, the different bearings and seals etc. etc. etc. But ya never know because they could've ordered it that way. Highly doubt there would only be one though or maybe it was done by a dealer. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Never heard of this as being factory. I did mention I was thinking about building one. As time went by somebody needed a part I had and I gave it to them. Then another, and another and.........now I don't have enough parts to build one. 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It is legit. These were rare but alot of manufactures had them. my late dad had a cut away of a flathead v8. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
stevasaurus 22,863 #16 Posted July 6, 2020 I made one out of a #5003 trans, but I really needed the front part of the casting so as to show the rails and reverse idler. 3 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
buckrancher 2,694 #17 Posted July 6, 2020 (edited) how many cut open transmissions do you want me to make ? Edited July 6, 2020 by buckrancher 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
stevasaurus 22,863 #18 Posted July 6, 2020 @buckrancher...Brian, you wouldn't happen to have a #5045, #5047, #5031, #5039 or #5058 bevel gear differential transmission laying around??? A member in Connecticut needs one bad. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

stevasaurus 22,863 #21 Posted July 7, 2020 That is not only a hi/low range transmission, it is a 10 pinion limited slip. If those are aluminum end plates, it is a #5060. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

If those are aluminum end plates, it is a #5060. if it isnt a high low then why the shifter off to the side? and then if im not mistaken the slot in the middle would be where the main shifter would go. it looks like the tranny in my 73 no name. inlighten me my good man. I am always up for a teachin lesson. Not joking im serious. Thanks steve. It looks like this tranny to me. maybe im wrong Edited July 7, 2020 by bottjernat1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
stevasaurus 22,863 #23 Posted July 7, 2020 Nate, your transmission also looks like a regular 8 speed. If you look at the picture of that trans in the magazine, you can see part of the differential. You can see 3 of the bolts and determine that there are 2 more bolts that you can't see. The 10 pinion, limited slip differential has 5 bolts. The regular 8 pinion differential only has 4 bolts. Yours also has a dip stick...if it is a 10 pinion, it is a #5073. I would like to see the other side of yours. If you have a 1" extension on the fill plug, it is a pretty good chance it is a 10 pinion. If not, you really need to see how many bolts are holding the differential together.

LOL my friends (first post i made) i know is a regular 4 speed 3 forward and 1 reverse. The second photo that 953nut posted looks to be a 8 speed. The other photo i posted was from this site and i thought it seems to be the same tranny 953nut posted. There i hope we got it all straightened out.
