My GT22-8 started pouring smoke like a mosquito fogger at the Ct meet and greet. @fast88pu suggested I add an oil catch can to separate blowby oil from air from crankcase that is routed to the carb thanks to our illustrious EPA. 

 

Soent half the morning tackling that project. Can our greet and runs slightly more powerfully. I’d swear I gained a HP.

 

installed custom jackshaft to power the hydraylaulics. Have pump but that will be a POST big show project.

 

mounted the winch. Recycled a mule that the threads were shot for the mount so I can remove if I wish.

 

Need to wire it up tomorrow.

When you push 30psi of boost it is needed!

Aldon, do you mind if I throw out a few facts about these transmissions?  This may help some to understand what you are trying to do, or what you have run across.  :ph34r:

1.  Only 10 pinion transmissions are Limited Slip

2.  All 10 pinion transmissions are Limited Slip

3.  Not one 8 pinion transmission built by Wheel Horse has Limited Slip

4.  All 10 pinion differentials have one axle shorter then the other...and so one end plate is shorter then the other...1 part # for left and a different part # for right

5.  All 8 pinion differentials have axles that are the same length...1 part number for both axles

6.  If a hydro has the 10 pinion differential or the 8 pinion differential...all of the above applies

7.  Only the #5060 10 pinion LS differential (1968) had aluminum end plates...1969 and up have steel end plates

8.  Service Bulletin #252 explains the conversion of limited slip differential to 8 pinion differential

9.  If you have 4 pinions, you have 1" axles

10. If you have 8 or 10 pinions, you have 1 1/8" axles

11.  All 1 1/8" axles from Wheel Horse transmissions "should" be able to interchange

 

OK...what does all this mean?  If Aldon has 2 axles the same length and they are the length he wants (so his tires fit), he will be putting them into an 8 pinion differential and he will not have limited slip.  If he wants to modify (cut one axle shorter then the other), so as to have the same distance sticking out past the frame, then he could use a 10 pinion LS differential.  Hope all that makes since.  :)

 

Mind blown @stevasaurus!  Question...  are 1” and 1-1/8” axle equipped cases any different?  With a different outer bearing and seal can bigger axles be swapped into any case?

@pullstart  Kevin, the cases are basically the same as far as looks, the axle tubes are bored out for what axles you have... the outer bearins use the same size diameter beaing so you would have to bore the out case tube...so they are not interchangeable.  Remember, both cases, whether 1" or 1 1/8" use the same #3912 gasket, so they are the same size.  Another thing to consider, All 1 1/8" axles are 6 or 8 speed (except for the bevel gear differential trannys) , so the right side case is milled different for the hi/low shifer.  There is 1 or 2 transmissions out there that are 4 pinion differential, with 1" axles that are also 8 speed.  The transmission on the 1972 Raider is one of those.  You may be able to bore out the axle tubes on that trans to put in 1 1/8" axles and still have a hi/low shifter.

Was those rear wheel weights originally made for the case 400 series garden tractor wheels?  If so I have a few of them in my garage. I think they are an attractive wheel weight.

Jim,

 

They are Extremely similar to those Wheelhorse sold for C195 etc.

 

i personally don’t know what specifically is different but I was told that there is a way to determine it.

 

I don’t think you can determine it while they are mounted and they are functionally the same.

 

i would bet that these are actually Case weights as I think a lot more were sold.

It is hard to tell in the pictures but are you using the electric PTO clutch to run the Hydraulic pump jack shaft or is there a third pulley between the drive pulley and the PTO clutch pulley? I started following this thread when you were discussing axles to make this 8-speed work on your GT-14. I am wanting to install an 8 speed transmission on my 953. I assume I will need to do it in a similar way as you did this one. I also have a GT-14 but will probably leave it mostly stock as it runs good and the transaxle seems good. Love all the detailed work you did. those wheels look great. I was curious if it would be possible to use stock axles and simply make rims with a modified offset to allow the tire to have proper clearance from the fenders? Your tractor looks great! I am also wanting to fab up a small articulating wheel loader using Case 400 series hydraulic transaxles and a Wisconsin AGND or TJD to power it.

      I have a old gt14 and the plastic plates or control panels are way past their prime, and I saw someone was remarking them with a 3d printer a little while back and I was looking to se if I could find the file but no luck. If anybody has info that would be amazing. Thanks for your time and anything helps.

      I am currently doing a ring, piston, hone rebuild on a K 321 off a Ford LGT 145 Tractor  on this machine they actually welded the rails to the bottom pan (see pics). My intention here is to put this puppy in a red machine (312-8 or GT14). I definitely have the small pan with the expanded bottom for the long dipper.
      Here's my questions:
      > Can I carefully remove the rails from the pan, cutoff the old front axle mounting bracket(s) and then drill holes in  the flanges to mount  to the Wheel Horse rails.
      > Since the engine is side mounted will the expanded bottom fit between the standard Wheel Horse rails?
      > If not possible to make this old pan work what flat pan would work and do I need to get the expanded bottom one (big dipper}
      > any recommendations here would be appreciated don't want to go down to many blind holes here...….
       
      Thanks much!

      Saw a gt14 for a really good price on Craigslist yesterday went and looked at it last evening, ended up buying it . It’s a 68 or 69 gt14 but I’m not exactly sure which. It’s in decent condition and seems to be complete. It has a really nice complete three point hitch and a really nice three point tiller. I didn’t think the seat and muffler were original but I looked at a manual and it turns out they are. I’m gonna try to get it running for the big show but if I don’t I will still take it. The best part is I bought it from a super nice guy that knows a lot about wheel horses. Some of you might know him, his name is Less, sorry didn’t catch his last name. He has been going to the wheel horse show since the beginning and personally knew Cecil and Betty Pond. He used to have 74 tractors but he narrowed it down to his favorite three. Overall it was a really good day. I got to meet a really nice guy, get another tractor and hear some good stories. Here are a few pictures of the gt14 and tiller. I am gonna start working on it this Sunday. 
      Tractor or serial number 

        
      Tiller serial number

      Sooo about three months ago I had a friend of a friend pass to me the most needy Wheel Horse GT14 Tractor I had ever seen, it was completely taken apart every single part had rust and two coats on oil paint one blue and one yellow. parts were missing and of course there was no labeling of parts or assembly there-of. All wiring, gauges, rectifiers were removed and non existent….. still the machine was calling to me to try and do the almost impossible...… My thanks to Aldon for parts and support and Kyle for Technical help and shoulder to cry on. ….  The only saving grace of the entire project is that the engine and tranny were indeed still good...… in fact the only remaining issue I have on the machine is that I cannot free-up the relief valve so that I can move the machine w/o power..... I think this might be stuck forever … but not the end of the world.
