308-8 puller with tranny problems

[thehorseman 0]

hey guys im new here but my little brother isnt.  my 308-8 pulling tractor has some issues.  it shifts fine al gears work but wen turning sharply the transmission makes a loud click noise.  it happened after my last event where i pulled 2600 lbs on a dead sled.  im thinking its gotta be in the differential.  i would like to find out where i can get a better transmission.  one with the 1 1/8 axels and i here the 8 pinions are the strongest.  if anyone one here has some input it would be greatly appreciated.  or if u have a tranny you want to sell

Welcome to Red Square...I hear you guys are going to the show.  You may find that transmission sitting there waiting for you.  I do not think you will see trans parts sorted out like you are talking about though.    See you guys at the show.

im not even looking for that im just wondering if anyone knows what wheelhorse transmission was built the strongest? i only have 1 inch axels and im in the process of tearing this tranny down but the hubs are stuck.  once i get them off i will know what went bad.

You know we want pictures.  I would say you want an 8 speed with 4 or 8 pinions.  I have to check my paper work unless someone like GWest chimes in.  Maybe scope out the puller's section...start a thread.

8 pinion for pulling

i ripped it apart today with my brother its a 4 pinion and 3 out of 4 pinion the teeth were sheared rite off.  and half of one axel gear was sheared off.  the rest of the tranny looks mint all gears were fine and showed no significant wear on the teeth considering its been a puller for a while.  the oil was very dirty but i also think the cause was shock.  the last pull of day i ouit pulled everyone there and went for one last pull and my foot slipped off the clutch pedal and the tractor took off while conectted to the sled and it shocked the hitch ripped off the hitch, and shocked the tranny and i think thats why all the pinions were broken.  so im ordering parts right now.  my brother will post pics in a little bit

Used on E-141 8-speed Elec-Trak model 103918 1978?-1983?

 

Go to

https://lookup3.toro.com/partdex/index.cfm?xCaller=Toro

and select "Advanced Search".

Enter a transmission model and then submit on the right side. That will bring up the tractor parts lists for the models that used that transmission. What I don't know is if a parts list contains more than one transmission model like other parts because these lists are shared by similar models. So read the fine print.

you say you are ordering parts,from toro?i would put an add in the classified section and buy a rear end,even if its a 4 pin with the 1 inch axle,i bought rear ends for alot less even with shipping from kentucky to ontario canada,i needed an axle and the gear for it and it was cheaper to buy a whole rear end and have it shipped here

i found all the parts i need on ebay for less than 50 buks so i ordered them and im hoping to have it back together by the end of the week.  does anyone know why the pinion is the weak point in the tranny? every other gear is fine and i didnt even shear a axel key so mabey i could just weld the pinion gears so its like a full solid axel? or is that a bad idea.

If ya think about all you have turning the axle and all the torgue is going thru 2 of the pinions....only 2 pinions per axle and with the shock you explained..I am surprised that is all that broke...I agree with can whlvr...I would look for a good 8-pinion 1-1/8th axle trans and you won't have to worry again...Just throwing my 2 cents in...

that is the answer i was looking for.  thanks alot these parts were cheap enough i should havce them in a few days and have the tractor going for the next show in a fewq weeks.  in the mean time ill be on the look out for a 8 pinion 1 1/8 axel 8 speed tranny.  i tell ya what, for a little 8 horse she out pulled  a 16 horse cub cadet and 3 12 horse cub cadets.  the extra low gearing is saving me.  thanks for all the input guys
