Sparky180 31 #27 Posted February 3, 2021 (edited) Ok. New set back. Tonight after cleaning the cases I discovered the dreaded case cracks from where the bolt got wedged under the differential. Luckily only one side is cracked. I've looked everywhere and can't locate used cases...so - braze, tig, other ideas. Anyone have a set to sell?

Have had a blow gear in a tecumsh lawn mower transmission made out of alloy, blew out half of the under transmission case. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
oliver2-44 9,759 #30 Posted February 3, 2021 There is an old repair shop near me and the guy uses his wire welder on cast iron. He grinds the crack out and welds it back in short weld passes so as not to put much heat into part. He claims it works as good or better than the typical preheating and brazing or using Nickle rods then doing something to cool it slowly. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

They had two in stock and I have one on the way now! Very knowledgeable and great to talk to on the phone. Plus they will cross reference other comparable models for you. Thank you!! Next question is how can I remove the axle needle bearings for reuse? There isn't any way to press them out from the back side due to sitting in a counter bore?

You can drive then out from the inside. At about $7 I would replace them Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I have a 310-8, C-120, 401 Suburban, 1277 with a loader and a GT-14. Loader and 310 are only thing running right now and the others are projects. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sparky180 31 #36 Posted October 7, 2021 Update and finished restoration....FINALLY. After a long time it is finally finished and runs like a dream! I sanded and painted the entire thing. Rewired it and installed new decals. Rebuild the transmission and carb- split transmission without pulling hubs FYI. I had to hand stitch a new seat cover for it. LOTS OF WORK but totally worth it. Just waiting on the fuel cap to show in the mail. Lol I am now looking for a loader, tiller and 3 point finish mower. 3 5 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
