What ever you do DO NOT use RTV little bits of that stuff getting loose in a hydro can cause you to be back in there to clear out the acceleration valves...

I hadn't planned on that I read about that in other threads. I've learned a lot reading threads on

While you have that thing tore down, would it be possible to get some measurements of this link? Mine was missing, when I got my 876, and I have been trying to replicate it. Part number 169 in the pic. Spring number 172 also please. Thanks

@cafoose I made a new link using the measurements you provided. While mine did work, this one works better. I have been trying to get those numbers for weeks.   again for the pics.

[stevasaurus 22,764]

Wheel Horse did not use any gasket cement, and if everything is clean, you shouldn't either.  I don't even soak them in oil, just tighten the bolts evenly.  I have not had a leak yet.  And yes, you want to put the same oil in that came out.

As long as you still have your tranny apart, have you given any thought to fixing your parking brake?? It's not supposed to have that large notch caved into it. 

 

 

[pfrederi 17,741]

A disadvantage of having owned a tractor for many years especially after the tranny was overhauled is you can't blame the Previous owner for grinding down the parking pawl

I understand that perfectly. I'm just wondering why someone switched 25 years ago. Or did WH use regular oil in some cases?

I believe when it was rebuilt the shop switched it out. They also redid the pump. From what I understand used ATF in earlier models and motor oil in later models.

I just lay a couple of weld beads across the gap then file and grind to shape

Like @pfrederi posted. They can be fixed by welding a new piece in or building it up with weld.

[stevasaurus 22,764]

@Gregor  Wheel Horse used both ATF and 10W-30 (10W-40 is OK).   

[cafoose 3,355]

@Gregor@pfrederi I took the parking brake to my local welding shop with the picture @Gregor posted and they are going to weld a piece in for me

My trans leaks a bit. Nothing terrible, but enough. I really don't know why. Everything was super clean. I sprayed the gaskets with Pematex Copper, and tightened it up evenly I thought, but still it leaks. That being said, a leak is better that gasket maker compound in your hydro. I have rags.
