squonk 41,118 #126 Posted April 22, 2021 If you are going to use a sealer on a gasket on cast iron, I think Permatex Aviation Sealant is best. Just a light coat. No rubbery flakes in the hydro. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

cafoose 3,355 #128 Posted April 22, 2021 When it was rebuilt the shop used something that I had to remove with my air operated gasket scraper, that stuff was tough but it didn't leak Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
stevasaurus 22,740 #129 Posted April 22, 2021 It is the ease of re-entry that I do not use a sealer...and I love copper-coat. Copper-coat is great for doing vertical gaskets...like thermostats. @Gregor, I would almost bet your leak is from a seal. Any oil leak in these transmissions always looks like a case gasket, but it rarely is. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
cafoose 3,355 #130 Posted April 22, 2021 (edited) @stevasaurus@pfrederi I got the parts from NAPA. The bolts I got are grade 8 3.5 inches long. They are a little longer than the original bolts. Does that matter? Also the new axle keys wiggle about 1/64" to 1/32" in the shaft. Does that matter? Edited April 22, 2021 by cafoose Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

pfrederi 17,739 #132 Posted April 22, 2021 When in doubt I tend to follow the manual. it calls for 5/16 3-1/4" bolts.... (The other version of the older Wheelamatic with a bevel gear differential did use 3-1/2" Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
stevasaurus 22,740 #133 Posted April 22, 2021 Do not use longer bolts then what you pulled out. I know Paul likes to change out his bolts, but it is really not necessary. New nuts are a must. It seems like Wheel Horse never used the length of bolts that you can readily buy. If you have to use them, put a regular nut on them and then saw to the same length as the ones you pulled out. Back that nut off to fix the thread. 3 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
