Looks great. How much did you pay for all of the bearings together? You bought the 1533 bearings from toro? They are around $70 now.

What is Jason's site? I am interested because my bearing distributers prices have gone through the roof. I'm getting tired paying $12 for a bearing I can slip over my little finger!

A fantastic job!

Charlie and everyone else...this is Jason's site...

http://www.rcpw.com/search?quest=1533&search=Search

The old berry bearings in Elgin is now Motion Industries

e-mail....MotionMRO.com They can match any bearing(I am told) or seal if you give them the O.D. I.D. and height of the bearing or seal. The guy behind the counter is a guy I have known since the late 60's and the service station days. He is still excellent and very helpful. If you end up calling him, you can mention my name, will not lower the price though. He is the kind of guy that...if you are an a-hole...but if you are serious, he will bend over backwards. When I told him that only Toro made the #1533 bearing and had to get it from them...he looked at me and rolled his eyes. I did not have the I.D. O.D. and height at the time to check it out. If someone has those measurements, I will go back and see if he can match it up. Well worth the time. :omg:

Sorry Charlie...(remember that from a tuna commercial), I don't know how you can do the trans rebuild for $150 with core deposit. I spent a little more then that.

House prices may have come down, wages are lower, but machined parts are not cheap. :omg:

Way to go Steve,

just a quick ? about the orange coloration. Is this just surface rust on the gears, shafts, etc, or is it residue from old water / oil contanimation ?

I'm assuming if you could have just wiped it off, it would have been.

Great Job :omg:

The transmission is working fantastic...after witnessing the water damage in a trans...I would tear down every trans suspected of having water or sledge in it. Way to easy and the cost of a $5.00 gasket and piece of mind, versus the cost of bearings...up to $300.00 and going up. I have 3 more horses that were stored with this one...guess what I will be doing in the next few months?

:D

Anyway...a couple of shots of the horse recipient of the rebuild...

After doing all that cleaning and painting.....you can't see it...but I know it is there and feel good about it. :D

 

 

I've been riding this around the block for the last couple of days...working it in so to speak...needs a cup holder. :D

I had one of the older 3-part transaxles. It had water damage and I bought a new one on eBay for $51.00 and $46.00 to ship. I had to switch the side cover because the brake band opened when the clutch/brake pedal was pressed. :omg: I tried it yesterday and it works great. :D

It looks like I am going to have to do the same thing, and do a complete rebuild on my 6 speed trans in my Raider 12. it has ran great for 38 years and i think i have an axel clip falling apart. as long as i have it apart i am going to relace all the bearing & seals.

Does anyone have the crossover numbers to listed parts with a good suppier?

The repair manual shows my trans. is a 5073 1972 model

never been inside a trans before, looks like it can be done.

they are not hard to take apart. Outting it back together is another story. Just remember to take out the shifter before lifting off the top half :thumbs:

      I’m looking for a transmission dipstick to a D-180. Let me know if you see one.

      Hey guys,I have a dilemma I need some help with. I have a 1969 GT 14 that I replaced the transmission and pump on. For about 2 weeks afterward everything worked great, but while mowing at a pretty good pace I noticed a shudder and the tractor slowed a little but not bad. The more I rode it the slower it got until it barely moves. What stumps me is the hydraulics are still very strong,as in I can back the 3 point under the bumper of my truck and if you lift the arms all the way up the front wheels of the tractor will clear the ground. Have checked the tow valve and checked the internal filter,but no luck. I have also checked and replaced the forward and reverse bypass springs and the lever is moving the cam to full travel, forward and reverse. Any help would be appreciated.

      I have developed a kit that allows a Wheel Horse / Toro hydrostatic tractor to be operated by a pedal on the right side of the tractor. The original forward/reverse lever can be retained or removed. The kit includes everything needed to install the pedal kit and installation is simple with the help of a downloadable installation manual. Additionally, only one (1) 1/4" hole will need to be drilled which can be done by a hand drill. No other drilling or cutting will be necessary. Any tractor with this kit can be converted back to stock without any visible evidence that kit was installed. However, you'll never want to do that

      The kit operates very simply and similar to modern tractors. When the pedal is pushed forwards the tractor will move forwards. When the reverse pedal is pressed downwards, the tractor will moved in reverse. If the operator takes his foot of the pedal at any time, the pedal will automatically center itself and the hydrostatic transmission will return to neutral (stop). This enables the operator to use both hands on the steering wheel or one hand on the wheel and the other operating an attachment like a snow blower, plow, etc.

      The foot pedal is custom cast in Aluminum, uses brass bushings to minimize wear, and it closely matches the OEM Wheel Horse BRAKE pedal commonly found on 8-speed manual transmission tractors. Modifications were done to the pedal to add the reverse pedal and adapt the pedal to the rest of the kit. For the most part, the pedal looks like it was designed and manufactured by Wheel Horse / Toro. Additionally, a grease fitting has been adapted to the pedal to further minimize wear and tear and if the brass bushings ever wear out they are fully replaceable without having to buy a whole new pedal. 

      The pedal kit fits the following series tractors with Eaton hydrostatic transmissions: C-1X5, 300, 400, 500. 
       
      My kit can be adapted to older hydrostatic tractors with the Sundstrand transmission, however, you will need to find an updated hydro cam commonly found on ebay. Message me for more information. 
       
      Here is a link where you can download the installation manual: CLICK HERE
       
      I am selling these kits for $330 shipped to anywhere in the United States. I offer multi order discounts as well. I will also sell to other countries for additional shipping charges to be determined.
       
      If anyone has any questions please feel free to PM me or post your question here and I will be glad to help. Or you can email me at mattdarling02@hotmail.com.

      Thanks!
       
       
      Below are pictures of the complete kit and the pedal installed on the tractor. Some modifications have been made since these pictures were taken. For example, the reverse pedal is now cast in aluminum instead of the steel pedal shown below.

      New here! hello everyone! In a bit of a pickle here. My father owns a 1993 (I think that is the right year) 520H Wheel Horse. I don't commonly work on tractors but it seemed simple enough. the axle snapped on the left side, so it needed a new transmission. My dad bought a used transmission and I went to work changing everything out. The hydraulic pump that the engine's drive belt attaches to went to a different model/year of tractor, so I had to remove that part and swap it in from the old transmission. In the process I lost all of the oil in the pump (I mention this because I wonder if it has to do with my problem I'm having). When I reassembled everything I started the slow process of filling the transmission. I filled it up and started the engine. When moving the lever forward or backward, it had a tiny bit of power for a little bit and then lost power. The transmission wasn't doing anything, anymore. I though maybe that hydraulic pump needed to be primed, so we took the top hydraulic line off of the hydraulic pump right above the drive belt and used a transfer pump to pump some oil into the pump case. This still didn't work. I don't have enough experience with these hydrostatic transmissions to know if we got a bad transmission or if there is something obvious that I am missing when it comes to a transmission swap. I ask for any insight and help please. If you need pictures or any other info, then let me know what you need. Thank you!

      my 1067 stopped moving; limited slip had worn out long ago;  now input pully is turning , but tractor doesnt move --- very slight motion forward or backward if on level ground with no resistance.  Enough to tell me shift lever is actually changing gears.
      I suspect input shaft woodruff keys but might be something worse ... i am interested in perhaps buying a new, used,or rebuilt  transaxle if someone has one they would part with.  And any advice on opening up the transaxle and looking inside .  Or where i can find parts to rebuild it myself...
