Sailman 1,294 #1 Posted March 9, 2022 Have a GT 14 with an ailing transmission / trans axle. Anybody here ever swap a C-160 Hydro rear end unit onto a GT 14? Can it be done? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
daveoman1966 3,758 #2 Posted March 9, 2022 Is it the GEAR BOX giving you trouble, or the HYDRO PUMP? The Sundstrand Hydrogear (pump) is model 90-2062 on the GT-14 and it isn't tuff to rebuild. There are gasket sets available too for about $95. I have made a .pdf file for FREE download and you'll find intin the Transmission Section of Red Square. If I can help further, contact me at : daveoman@windstream.net SUNDSTRAND Fix Hydr-Gear.pdf 2 2 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
953 nut 55,751 #3 Posted March 9, 2022 There are several good options for an ailing Sundstrand in a GT-14. #1 As @daveoman1966 said it can be rebuilt. #2 Another way to go is finding a Charger or electro with a good Sundstrand drive and swap it to your trans axle. I did a thread on this several years ago (attached). #3 Your axles from the GT-14 could be used in the C-160's transaxle, we don't have a thread on this swap so if you do it please document the process. Some of the linkage from the C-160 will probably be needed. #4 You could use an Eaton 1100 like @19richie66 did, I have attached that thread too. 1 2 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sailman 1,294 #4 Posted March 9, 2022 @daveoman1966 I think I may have issues with both. I had JB welded a leaking bearing near the filter in the past. Tractor ran fine UNTIL I got my 3 point hitch set up and hooked to my 5x9 trailer. Pulling it worked ok at first until I had to come back up a hill and it really hardly pulled and just didn't sound or feel "happy". The hydraulic cylinder for the 3 pt works fine but something is definitely wrong under power. Don't think I have the skill set to do what either of you gentleman are proposing and have done. Above my pay grade! Might just have to try to locate a GT 14 roller with a good rear end and hydro. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

That is likely to be broken springs in the acceleration valves. 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
