You'll get two benefits out of changing from a 3-speed to a 6-speed transmission. One is that the axles are a little beefier but quite frankly that has never been proven to make much difference to me. The other is that the 6 speeds have Limited Slip Differential. Low range really won't do anything for you unless you are backing slowly or using implements like a tiller. 3 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Three or four speed capacity is 1.5 quarts but I put two in mine when I refill. 3 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

stevasaurus 22,738 #10 Posted March 10, 2022 That transmission is either a #5060 or a #5071...depending on the differential end plates. 10 pinion Limited Slip. 3 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Pullstart 62,864 #11 Posted March 10, 2022 So since we were talking about limited slip the other day, if you try to spin one hub forward and the other backward, it will give a pretty gnarly clicking/jamming sound in the rearend. That’s that spring trying to hold everything in the same position and is a good thing. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
pfrederi 17,739 #12 Posted March 10, 2022 If it has the aluminum end plates it would be another good reason not to subject it to shock loads. 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

If it's holding right and the transmission is just on the bench or floor or whatever with no hubs or wheels you'd be hard pressed to do that. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Pullstart 62,864 #21 Posted March 10, 2022 You’ll get it! Make sure the shift forks are lined up before you start. [ ] they should make a square when they are in the right spot for the shifter to go. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
