3 SPEED #5003 RJ 58-59 rebuild

Recommended Posts

Steve, you did check fluid levels before starting? :wh:

:help:

Sure did John...takes 1 qt of 90W. That is the reason for giving it a test run...to get the oil circulating and into the bearings...and to check for leaks. I do not have an RJ to bolt it back into to check it out...and did not want to store it without running it for some time in all gears. I have a 5025 that I need to do the same thing to. :dunno:

Steve,

Attach a couple of pulleys and belts from the axles to the front wheels and have all-wheel-drive. :dunno:

Nice idea on the carrage bolt tool, that was the most time consuming part of my rebuild. A zip lock bag of crushed ice on it for a while helps get them out, as well. I couldn't get the last video to come up, but nice job. Your carrage bolt worked a hole lot better than the flat screwdriver that I heated and bent and attempted to temper, long story and process. :dunno:

Thanks Terry. As far as the last video...it seems that the Forumer thingy takes a little while to load sometimes. Try again and give it some time...it is just me running it through the gears and basically giving the transmission a chance to lube up properly and make sure it was running OK before I store it. Nice to be able to run it before you put it back into a horse though... I have taken them back apart a couple of times because something just did not seem right...saves a ton of time and headache. :dunno: Thanks

I could watch the video, this time. Neat little set up you have there. You have done a good job on this post, good information for future rebuilds. I jumped right in on mine, with only a few people for support, had this been on here, at the time, it would have been a blessing. You've done good Steve. :dunno:

Steve, I really Like these videos!!! Just watched it and love your testing set-up. :handgestures-thumbupright: It will make fixing one of these a lot easier. Thanks again :bow-blue:

Really neat But if you dont mind I have something I do on everyone of these

I rebuild I take the axle shafts and put a new roll pin hole in the other end and

turn the axles end for end this gives your outer bearings and seals a fairly new

surface to run on. If this makes any sence to you. If I still had a milling machine

I would just cut new woodruff key slots and make new shafts but this works just

about as well. My old shafts have not been the very best on the outer end.

Here is a short video concerning the replacement differential that Wheel Horse sent out. It has the bolted on bull gear to the differential housing...you may not have one, but they are out there...I know of 2 now and it makes a difference how you put the pinions in...click on the picture.

Thanks for the video Steve, that's good to know.... I like the bearing and seal chart too, think I'll print a copy of that and put in in my notes. Well done!

this is going to be a useful thread for me and Ewan.

 

his RJ has been full of water for 25 years and all 6 bearings are seized. It's in a rough shape...

All of the pictures and videos disappeared last Friday, June 30 when photobucket decided to hold everybody hostage for 3rd party usage.  I spent Saturday and Sunday replacing everything right off of my computer and You-tube.  :)

Just type the question and you can tag him by typing an "@"  right before typing his handle like this @stevasaurus

He will respond when he sees it

      My intent here is to show lots of pictures so if anyone is rebuilding one of these or some of the others...you can do it without fear and I am adding some very helpful information. I had a post that lead up to this that has some information in it also, and while it overlaps, I wanted to do the rebuild separate. This post is meant to be used with the manual...the pictures help explain better then the pictures in the manual.

      Now I want to share what I learned as I rebuild this...I realize that some have done this, but this was my first time (transmission virgin) and I know I am not the last one to do this. If I can help or make this easier, then I have given back a little from all the help I have received from this site.
       
      Here are a few shots of what this looked like whee I opened the trans.  Notice the 1/4" ball bearings on some of the gears.  Those are from the #1533 bearings.





      This is a shot showing gear placement in the left side of the case. Notice the bevel of the reverse gear (front right). The left side is the shallow side of the transmission halves.


      These are the parts of the differential..the 2 casings on the outside, the 2 axles, the differential bull gear, the 4 posts and the pinions that go on these, and the bolts and nuts that hold it all together.

      I can't get enough looks at the gears before I tear it apart...next 2 pictures are for future reference.



      I found a good assortment of 3/8 and 1/2 sockets that made fair to good arbors for pounding out and tapping in most of the bearings and seals.


      These are the bearings and seals you need to do the R&R. You can get all the stuff from Toro or the site that Jason gave in the related post. One note...the Toro#1303 seal is discontinued. This is called a cup seal, because it has a cup shape. I replaced it with a kind of match (SKF #7410) same dimensions but more like a regular oil seal...it will work. This place used to be Berry Bearings in Elgin...now it is "Motion Industries"...the web site MotionMRO.com...they can match up any bearing or seal. Excellent info. and prices were very good.


      Shot of the bearings and seals removed, cleaned and sanded. Used Valspar Restoration series...I like the red match with my 702 and I like the hardness of the paint.


      Showing bearings and seals installed...notice (arbors on right).



      Putting differential back together...show axle in place with bolts in place.


      Added pinion posts and in 2nd picture...added pinions (alternating one up and one down).



      Added Bull Gear


      Added other axle and case and bolted together. At this point, make sure you can rotate the axles...they should rotate in opposite directions.


      Placing input shaft and gear (one piece) and the reverse idler shaft.


      Installed the 2nd & high shift rail and fork. (one on the left). Also installed both ball bearings, spring and stop pin, and low & reverse shift rail. The 2 sliding gears were then placed...the grooves face each other and the smaller gear goes on the bottom.
      I had a pencil magnet that I used to hold the 2nd ball bearing, while I took an Allen wrench through the hole to hold the bearing out of the way while I placed the low and reverse shift rail. the picture also shows the reverse idler and brake shaft in place.

       

      Another view showing forks and gears.


      Showing reverse idler (bevel up...I hope) in front. Splined shaft installed through the shift fork sliding gears. The cluster gear is then installed( 2 wood-ruff keys here...one on each end). Also, the differential and axles are placed (note the nuts are facing up).


      different angle

       


      yet one more angle


      Put together..old 5 gal wood create works great as a work bench (all shafts fit through and keep work level). Used a hard rubber hammer to tap halves together.
      No leaks when I filled with 90wt gear oil...approx 1 1/2 qts. Checked shifting and started to put the 702 back together today. A final picture or a video tomorrow (hope).


      I want to thank Rickv1957 Fan, MikeRJ, Buckrancher,Suburban550,IndyWH Smokin'Joe, the Helmett and Charlie for all their help and advice...a huge thank you guys.
