KB9LOR 4 #1 Posted October 24, 2010 I have a 855 with the 3-speed tranny, I it will not stay in gear, therefore I am going to split the trans and get it fixed, anyone have a repair manual or could point me in the right direction, I have a 6-and 8 speed tranny manual, but need the 3-speed manual, anyone in the know? Thanks in advance! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
KB9LOR 4 #2 Posted October 24, 2010 Okay guys, when you split the trannt shallow end up or down, it shows in a 6 8 speed manual that the shallow side should be up, w/ the shifter facing the mechanic, is this right for the 3 speed too? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
pfrederi 17,147 #3 Posted October 24, 2010 The transmission overhaul manual you can download from Toro covers the older 3 speeds like yours and the 6-8 speeds. For all the shallow side is clamped in the vice and the side with the gearshift hole is lifted off. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

KB9LOR 4 #5 Posted October 24, 2010 Here is what I found, anyone know where I can get the 2 bad gears? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TT-(Moderator) 1,128 #6 Posted October 24, 2010 The reverse idler gear should be easy to locate, but you might want to tear the rest of it apart and check the input shaft gear too. I suspect it could be worn (many are) along with the "face teeth" on the second/high gear. Finding a good used input shaft and the second/high gear for the old three speeds is getting tougher. Once you determine exactly what you need, we'll go from there. :thumbs: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

TT-(Moderator) 1,128 #8 Posted October 24, 2010 I just noticed that it looks like the teeth (for low gear) are wiped out on the cluster gear too. More pictures, please. :) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TT-(Moderator) 1,128 #9 Posted October 24, 2010 This might help: The gear on the other fork ("above" the second/high gear) is low/reverse. I guess I forgot to label it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
KB9LOR 4 #10 Posted October 24, 2010 I just noticed that it looks like the teeth (for low gear) are wiped out on the cluster gear too. More pictures, please. Yeah just saw that too. It may be best to find a used tranny I guess, I am posting a pick of the cluster gear...BTW 1st and 2nd gear worked fine, the only gear bad was the 3rd gear.

KB9LOR 4 #11 Posted October 24, 2010 Thanks TT, do you know if those gears are available? Just need verification, because if not I am going to find another 3 -speed to put in it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TT-(Moderator) 1,128 #12 Posted October 24, 2010 You might (and I stress might ) be able to get them new, but you could buy several parts tractors for the money you'd spend to get the new gears. I'd say that your two choices would be to either find used parts and repair your current tranz, or find a complete working tranz and swap it out. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I will go the way of swapping out the tranny if I can't find the gears themselves reasonable, I can't see paying an arm and a leg when I could buy a parts tractor....thank for all your help TT.

puddlejumper 67 #14 Posted October 24, 2010 I am not sure how far apart we are but I have a tranny that the bearings are out of the input shaft that you can have if it is worth the drive. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Coadster32 793 #15 Posted October 24, 2010 Brand new those gears you need are over $100 each. (some are $200+), and some are obsolete. I'd suggest finding a donor. Good luck. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
