Shed 370 #1 Posted June 22 I have decided to finally take apart the transmission on my 1960 suburban I think that's right I posted the transmission numbers in the title. I had a lot of axle play from the passenger side axle which now that I have it apart pretty bad. I found a piece of bronze bushing. Driver side didn't look bad. I seen on vins videos you can flip this axle? Also first time taking apart one of these are these gears supposed to look like this? I'm guessing not Also any help with a diagram and part numbers would be greatly appreciated My son wants a 4 wheeler I'm rebuilding this instead for him.

stevasaurus 23,355 #5 Posted June 22 If you want to save that trans, you need to look at this thead...compare the gears and how they fit together. Most of what you are showing does look worn out. Your trans is savable and parts are available, but from your pictures, it is going to cost some bucks. Compare your gears to those in this thread and see what you think. You may be able to buy a good suburban trans for less then it will take to fix yours. Check this thread out and determine where you are at. We are here to help you. @Jake Kuhn does have the parts you need to fix this trannay, he may also have a replacement suburban trans that is less money then fixing yours. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Shed 370 #6 Posted June 23 Yeah I just need the gears I emails Jake kuhn to see what he has, my good friend said he will cut me new axles nothing hard he said. These transmissions aren't hard just need to get gears other wise it's junk. Good news is other then those the transmission is really nice 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
oliver2-44 10,830 #7 Posted June 23 This pdf gives you the bearing and seal part numbers. One of our Vendors, Wheelhorse Parts and More, has bearing/seal/gasket kits. You can only get the axle seals from them or from Toro. The gear wear in your pictures is from a lot of past owners shifting on the fly and not coming to a complete stop. These are not synchronized transmissions, so you have to stop the transmission input pulley from moving before you shift. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
stevasaurus 23,355 #8 Posted June 23 By the way...the B10 0 is the casting date for your trans. B = February 10 = the day of the month 0 = the year (in this case 1960). So, February 10, 1960. The other number is the Wheel Horse part number for the casting. Look at the protruding piece of casting where your brake band attaches. If the tab is at 45 degrees instead of purpendicular, your transmission is a #5010 three piece. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Several years ago, I had my 4 yr old grandson help me reassemble a Suburban transmission like that. So get you son involved, his little fingers are great at getting into tight spaces. Also these Suburban's are light in the front end and easy to rare up like a stallion. Add some weight to the front end to keep it safe for him. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
