Adding dual wheels would give you same traction as posi and a lot easier. I’m fortunate to have found dual wheel adapter on fb market. You have to have threaded holes on plate on one end so you can bolt rims on, cause inner tire blocks access - money to be made mass producing them. I’ll try to post pic of them.
Hi, Crankshaft Garage. I hope you see this comment. I have the same transmission axle aetup that you do. I can see you welded the spider gears to the pin. But did you weld the pin to the axle gear? I can't really see in your video. Please let me know, thanks.
You can broke off your transcase, you need to fill it with EP-0 grease. Maybe 85-140 + heavi duty grease will eork the same, i dont know. Practice will show, who was right, engeneers/you.)😊
This is the same cheap way to convert a passenger vehicle to positive traction. Simply bind the mechanism that allows for the "differential" action between the two wheels and you got it.
Good call on the gear oil, does it leak? I was thinking about adding a fill plug only to mine. If it does leak, how bad? Let me know please, I may deal with the leak if it's not a mess. Thanks for the video. Don't pay attention to people saying you can't weld stuff together, I've welded plenty of things that shouldn't be welded, they hold, sometimes.
The torq-headed bolts on the bull gear that hold the spider gear casing to the gear are always mushroomed on the opposite side of the bolt heads. Instead of grinding off the heads, grind down smooth, the other side. Then the bolts will come out easily and can be reused when reassembling.
Try putting that ball on the bottom like he did. It won’t allow the housing to seal properly. The shift rod bearing is missing on the backside of the shifter. That ball belongs on the top of the shifter, with the spring being inside the top allen fitted screw.
In the offroad community we call it a lincoln locker (lincoln the brand of welder). Not sure if you are suppose to put gear oil in those transaxles, I think it is just grease.
The year and model wouldnt matter much. This transmission is in several makes and models. It's a cvt transmission, not hydrostatic. If your mower has a gear shifter with forward,neitral,and reverse then this is most likely the one you have. There was probably different models that had subtle differences like mounting tabs,connection point differences, etc,but the guts would be the same.
Trying this in mine right now. For some reason, even though I put the tourque wrench to 15 ft lbs, I’ve stripped 2 bolts out and when all the bolts are loose, the axle spins, but when I tighten them, the axle won’t spin. Anyone have any advice?
I know this is four years late but if you welded anything to your axle gear to keep it from spinning you should have checked it in Lower housing bearings and spun it to make sure everything was True before you bolting it together. If you see this, let me know what happened. Also does your lawn tractor turn like it used to, or does it push???
Furkan Yıldırım_Pro it was never about power it was improving its running power your engine runs more efficiently when it can breathe better and get a better mix of air to fuel mixture
In my opinion those old carbs are a lot better. I bought a new one and have had nothing but trouble. I dealt with constant vacume leaks and only got it working tonight.
