pfrederi 18,383 #2 Posted October 25, 2014 (edited) I wouldn't use it. You could use a speedie sleeve but then there are some markings on other parts of the shaft.... Edited October 25, 2014 by pfrederi Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

randhad 8 #6 Posted November 22, 2014 Hey All, Even though I may not have carried on the dialog, many of your posted conversations gave me the courage to rip in and rebuild an ailing tranny. A special thanks to Steve for his videos and Racinfool40 for supplying me with the parts to piece her back together. Thanks All, Randy 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
randhad 8 #7 Posted January 27, 2015 (edited) I just finished plowing my (+ 2 neighbors/friends) driveways with the newly rebuilt transmission. The c-101 is strong!!! Other improvements: Installed solid aluminum motor mounts. I took one of the designs - posted on this site by one of our UK brothers - to a machine shop. Rebuilt/installed brake system. Installed new tie rods. Dipped and rebuilt carb - spark plugs - oil - fuel lines - full lube. Installed new battery. Repaired tire chains - ordered the Terragrip rubber chains.

If you don't mind sharing, how much did it cost to have a machine shop make you the motor mount replacements? I am in the same boat without access to equipment to make them.

randhad 8 #10 Posted January 29, 2015 If you don't mind sharing, how much did it cost to have a machine shop make you the motor mount replacements? I am in the same boat without access to equipment to make them. Not a problem - they were $80 total ($20 each). And this was the design I borrowed from a member here. Mind you now, the cradle does take a bit of finessing to get into all four mounts, but when in and tight, the motor is nice and solid. And there is no noticeable vibration. Good Luck! 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
