It's coming together part III
It's coming together part III
The tranny: a test run, cleaned and putting on the PTO and steering quills after cleaning, relube and new tubes in it.
Primer, paint and the reverser is on.
Put on the front frame and clutch housings. Note that when putting on the front frame the reverser linkage is attached when the frame is nearly in place. Also lube the reverser prior to assembly. Finally attach the reverser control handle base.
Put on foot rests and start connecting brake and steering linkages
I'm waiting for some parts and then this section will go into the side frames. While I wait, I will be putting bearings and shafts in the front idlers and assembling those parts on to the track frames.

Tons of awesome pictures Gus.
I ran into the same thing with the quills in your part 2 thread.
I can't wait to get more paint on mine, but that probably won't happen until the weather gets better in the spring.
What is the yellow inside the steering clutch housings? Is that just primer or something else.

Just primer, I didn't bother painting in there. There wasn't much for rust on the dry side and the blasting took off any rust on the wet side. I figured a light primer coat would keep it clean enough since both sides would be dry. I will not put it in water like the last owner...probably won't use it to clear heavy brush like he did either. That's how he broke the case.

New case, I wouldn't even consider using something like that. It was broken completely around. Even if it could be welded, what's the chances of it being true enough to hold bearings?440 iron popper wrote:I saw that big weld on the transmission... Were you able to save the case or you did hunt for a ''new'' one?
Front idler work. Replaced bearings and shaft. I scrounged up 4 good seals too!! Actually, I found 2 very good rollers and robbed all the parts to fix the idlers.
Pulling old bearings, reversed this to put replacements back in. I just used a threaded rod and a custom plug on the other end.
Front idlers ready to go in and second photo is with them on.

Nearing the end of "the big iron" parts to go on. I hung some iron yesterday and I'm getting ready to assemble the last big parts.
Getting ready for the next parts....
Bearing is not pressed on yet but the seal is on. Note temporary nuts on the bolts...to prevent some thing getting out of place
All the parts...

This is what i used to set depth on the axle bearings. I used a heavy wall tube that fit over the axle and right on the bearing. It was to long, which is what I wanted, and then I made a stop block (short aluminum part) to take up the space and give me the exact setting. The long block was on top and the press went down on it. shown with one bearing in place.
This is one final with the gears in and preloaded.
Both finals together and the new clutches installed.
The clutch housing buttoned up and ready for a final to go on.....tomorrow...
