8-Speed Parts

[eo1bart 43]

It turns out the mighty Wheelhorse has some limitations. I was thrashing it hard while plowing snow during the past storm and ended up with a busted up differential. Luckily I had spare tranny and was able to do a quick swap (about 2 1/2 hrs)

This is a 312-8 with the 1" axles and 4- pinions Looks like I need pinion part # 101626 (4/ea) and differential axle gears #3908 (2/ea).

Who's the go to guy for these parts?

Thanks

Bob

@76c12091520h  Brian Badman could probably help you out with replacement parts but, it would behoove you to upgrade to the heavier duty 8-speed anyway. Find one that has the 1 1/8" axles with eight pinions.

Thanks I'll be on the look out for the upgraded gearbox

I take it the transmission you swapped in was identical? Another one with one inch axles?

@eo1bart, I tore one down recently that had water intrusion and too much damage to the bearings to justify repair. The diff is fine. You are welcome to those parts for the cost of shipping from NC if that's your best option.

You can't beat that deal with a stick.   Just asking...You are not grinding your gears, are you ??  Shifting too fast between reverse and a forward gear can do that to a transmission.  I know it was a Hell of a storm.

you are probably right on the shifting too fast between forward and reverse,

I used to be hard in the snow on my B-100-8 speed transmission (1-1/8" axles and 8 pinions).  However, I never did any damage. Then 22 years later I upgraded to a 416-H with an Eaton 1100. Less wear and tear on the transmission and more importantly, less wear and tear on me.
