5053 3speed axle play

Recommended Posts

hi all,
as you know I've got a 3 speed uni-drive for project agri-800, i believe it is the 5053 type. every thing seems really good with it except there is a bit of end float on the axles, i'd say about 2mm (.078"). is this normal? there is no up/ down side to side movement, just this end float. 
there is about the same end float on the input shaft, again, is this normal?
thanks for looking

That's perfectly fine for the axles. Check the end play on the input shaft with it in 3rd gear. If there's any then it could mean the input gear is slightly disengaging from the 3rd/2nd gear. Not a good thing.

That's OK as long as it's very minimal. If you were to take a look at how the 3rd/2nd gear meshes with the input gear it would be clear to you. I had close to 1/8" on mine and in my opinion that was a smoking gun. :)
