ebinmaine 63,237 #1 Posted March 20, 2023 I have a 6 speed in need of internal gears. Are there other transmissions that can be donors? 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ri702bill 7,351 #2 Posted March 20, 2023 Eric - while waiting for those in the know to chime in - hows about looking thru the parts manuals for a model with a 4 speed, another one a 6, and another an 8 ?? Could make for some light reading in the can... 1 1 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
953 nut 51,818 #3 Posted March 20, 2023 (edited) Six speeds were only used in 1967 and 1968 but as you surmised the internal gears were common to must uni-drive transmissions from earlier years. Changes have been made over the years to improve the transmissions and new model numbers assigned even though only one component or type of part was changed. I have one 953 transmission that had some internal gears that didn't match any other units I had rebuilt but it was a working unit so I replaced bearings and seals and put it back together; works fine. Lay the parts out side by side and school us on what looks like it is compatible. Edited March 20, 2023 by 953 nut 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ebinmaine 63,237 #8 Posted March 20, 2023 All you guys are awesome. The pictures below show the gears that are worn. If this was a show cruiser I wouldn't hesitate half a heartbeat to put them all back in but this will be a PRIMARY worker for Trina. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Lane Ranger 10,497 #9 Posted March 20, 2023 (edited) The cluster gear is available on any Wheel Horse gear driven transmission. They are all the same from three piece RJ’s thru last one built in 2007! Edited March 20, 2023 by Lane Ranger 2 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

WHX?? 46,829 #13 Posted March 20, 2023 Cluster gear is the same & looks like the others are too. I would run the reverse gear they all look like that. Fer sure a new third gear from Lowell and he may have the others as well. Don't scrap the old ones I know a guy who repurposes them.... 1 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

No worries brother man. Trina says she'll keep this in mind when you wanna see some more Karate 🥋 moves. She MIGHT forgive you as long as we have a good place to set up camp. 1 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JCM 8,665 #21 Posted March 21, 2023 Would love to see some moves in the DoJo someday. You can set up camp over the Brook if you want. Would like to build a wide bridge over that someday. For tractors and people. 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

This one is very interesting and looks like it belongs in the woods of Maine but obviously done by someone WAY above my pay grade.

The last big snow storm snapped the top off of a large hemlock right at the brook. There are plenty of those out there and not really good for much other than the whitetails like to bed down under them in the snow. My next attachment for the JD this year is going to be a set of 48'' front forks. That will help placing those hemlocks across the brook. May have to put that on the list 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I got a set right off and they are on more than the bucket. I have a set of clamp on's for the 520 FEL but light stuff only... too much weight out too far loosens up the rear. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
