Hi Guy's, I know this video is a bit "basic" compared to the other 3 excellent "how to" video's, but there will always people just starting out on the Wheel Horse way of life that will need to know how to change a drive belt at some point.

How a Transmission Works...video

Wed, 24 Oct 2012 20:37:46 +0000

I was rebuilding this #5010 transmission (fits 1960 Suburbans and the 1961 401) and I thought I would make a video of the way the trans actually works. I was curious myself. One note...ALL OF THE WHEEL HORSE MANUAL TRANSMISSIONS WORK THIS WAY..the 6 and 8 speeds have an extra shifter and gear in them, but the rest is the same...the 3 speed uni-drives and the 4 speeds work the same way also. You might have the HI/LOW shifter, 1 1/8" axles, 6 or 8 pinions in the differential...but when you open it up it looks just like this and works the same way. Hope you enjoy the video...thanks

I will post all the replacement numbers for the bearings and seals here...do not have them all yet at this point. Almost all of it is not available from Toro anymore. My thanks to VinsRJ for sending me a replacement axle gear and his expertise.

Here is what I started with...both hubs were froze on...one still is.

I had my homemade hub puller on this hub, and this hub snapped. I ended up cutting the hub off with a 4" grinder and then using a puller to get the rest of it.

The two side plates. The axle holes are on the top. Below that is the bearings that hold the 11/44 tooth gear with the brake shaft. The bearing on the right is a needle bearing WH #1508 (equates to Torrington B-1212,L125) and the seal for this is WH #1303 (equates to SKF 7410). The bearing on the left and the lower left and lower right, where the input shaft goes is WH # 1519 (equates to Timkin S 8 K ). The seal for this is Timkin 471643. The 2 closed bearings WH #1502 (equates to an R-12), but the one I found is about 1/8" thicker then what was there. The jury is still out on this bearing.

A picture of all the parts laid out that go in the trans.

The number for the bronze bearings that go in the axle housing is CB 1618-12.

The number for the bronze bearings that fit the differential housing is CB 2224-14...these are about 1/2" too long and need to be cut to an 1 1/2" length.

The axle seals are only available from Toro #83-2840...these are running about $19.00 each.

I got the rest of the bearings and seals from Motion Industries...very reasonable.

D series Hydro motor reassemble vid Part1

Mon, 12 Nov 2012 11:45:04 +0000

Finally! I had a chance to get back out to the shop and get the hydro motor back together. I had taken apart in previous vid and I had to stop when it came time to press the shaft out. I tried getting it out without a press and i buggered up the locking mechanism. I got the parts to repair that and I start the reassembly of the motor.

In this vid i show how to install the locking mech, lapp the valve plate, lapp the cylinder block, the differenecs between a standard 15 series motor and the WH motors, and clean up a little.

This motor will work on the D series and C series.

I hope it helps a few people.
