Coadster32 793 #2 Posted April 25, 2012 Short answer...8 pinion. Any pulling guys that chime in will confirm this, (to peices) 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kelly 1,028 #3 Posted April 25, 2012 Yup, I have a core trans here from a puller, the guy thought the 10 pinion would be stronger, wrong, it sounds like a box of cracker jacks when you turn the axle till it stops turning then turn it back the other way till it stops :hide: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
wheelhoss 2 #4 Posted April 26, 2012 Can you change over a 10 pinion to a 8 pinion transmission. If so were can you get parts at the toro dealer can't get the 8 or the 10 pinion transmission parts. Does anybody have a 8 pinion transmission for sale I need one bad I still have some gardens to harrow up. WHEEL HORSE POWER!!!!!!!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
can whlvr 991 #5 Posted April 26, 2012 if i were you i would just get a rear end with the 8 pinion allready,pretty easy to swap out whole trannys,not sure if you can swap out the diffs from 10 to 8,someone here will be able to help you,i once bought a rear end from a member and had it shipped 1000 miles across the border and it wasnt that expensive,not as much as an axle for one side,and thats to but it and ship it Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
wheelhoss 2 #6 Posted April 26, 2012 Yeah I know it would be easier to swap out other another transmission. But I was trying to save on cost. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
can whlvr 991 #7 Posted April 26, 2012 i would think it will be cheaper to but a whole tractor then buy any tranny parts from the dealer,when my axle broke,due to the dealer putting so much heat to it ,it broke a few weeks later,it was 350 bucks,and i dont think all the parts are even available if it could be done,i see rear ends for 125-150 complete Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Pocketraisins 11 #8 Posted April 27, 2012 Heck....sometimes you can get a good working parts tractor for $100-200 dollars with engine, transmission, wheels, sheetmetal etc.... Thats how I got my two C-101's...and both have the 8 pinion rear of course! Keep checking CL, local shops and other guys on the forums. You might get lucky!

wheelhoss 2 #10 Posted April 28, 2012 i don't think you have a wheel horse as heavy as mine. You have no idea. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
smoreau 658 #11 Posted April 28, 2012 I have found several c1-- 8 speeds for $50 around here. heck I don't think I would pay over $50 for a complete trans with hubs Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
wheelhoss 2 #12 Posted April 28, 2012 i would definitely buy one or two if you could ship them. i live all the way in kentucky. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

can whlvr 991 #14 Posted April 28, 2012 i live in ontario,when i bought a rear end i got it from kentucky,it was only about 125 dollars to ship,thats probally 1000 miles,it was still way cheaper than buying the gear and axle i needed,then i swapped them and watched ebay and about a year later i got 2 axles,4 pinions,the bull gear and drive gears for 10 bucks,thaqt was a steal,now i have a rear end on the shelf incase of a breakdown,but it doesnt happen often with a properly taken care of rear tranny,im sure you will find what you need Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
wheelhoss 2 #15 Posted April 28, 2012 Yeah I love all my wheel horses. I run them hard. I rebuild the motors if they need rebuild and run good oil and rebuild the transmissions if they need work like gears, seals and bearings it gets good gear oil. I keep them in tip top shape. Because I use at least one every day. If I can just keep the transmissions togather. And one more thing Firestone 23 degrees tires are the best tire every.

leeave96 487 #16 Posted May 2, 2012 Wheelhoss - that's one of the best Wheelhorse videos I've ever seen. I especially like how you get the tractor unstuck! Bill Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
wheelhoss 2 #17 Posted May 3, 2012 Thanks for the comment. That's the easiest way to get them unstuck if I have the front weights on them. You wouldn't have a 8 pinion transmission for sale. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
