Bearing advice

I am replacing the needle bearing in the axle of my c160 auto. I have found the B-1816 bearings on motion industries. There are two listed, the B-1816 and B-1816OH (Oil hole). Am I correct in thinking the normal one is correct? 

Also what thickness of gasket paper is best for making the gaskets for the transmission case and motor to case? 

Thanks in advance. Thomas

You do not need the oil hole.  The case halves of the transaxle use a thin gasket (1/64" .369mm??)  I will have to go measure the hydro motor to case gasket in the morning.

Thanks for the reply. I have found 0.4 or 0.5mm gasket paper for sale on eBay would that be suitable? I assume the thickness of gasket affects the endfliat on the shafts in the transmission?

As you're located in UK, and you are possibly only replacing the Axle Bearings, fit may be worth considering obtaining your Bearings in the UK - LINK -  .

As for the Trans Gasket, 0.4mm max as suggested would keep the End Float close to it's original dimension. Genuine ones here are expensive, so I'll also cut my own..

I've also got a full bearing replacement to do on an 8 speed on my 'Job List'. Have most of the Bearings, and the Closed End Full Compliment Needle Bearings are very expensive here.

Hope it goes well for you.

Regards

good luck - as Richard says just shop around for the axle bearing. Plenty of people sell them in the UK.

 

I never thought about end float Richard - I think my C-101 probably has at least 1mm thick gasket....:o

I’m going to change seals and gasket on a 8 speed at the same time to combine shipping, I’m not going to change the bearings as they seem ok. I thought shipping to uk was reasonable for $10.

Sorry thisi took so long...had to plow snow again this morning.  The Hydro motor to transaxle gasket is .74mm (or 1/32" gasket material) it is thicker than the  case gasket.

Same reason for me on the 8 Speed, I thought I'd just clean it out, fix the previous owner's repair errors and change the Gasket n Seals, but have since suspected (5 years) a tired Axle Bearing for a returning very slow weep on R/H side (0.015" up down movement  under load).So they are all coming out if any sign of wear.

 

$10.00 Is unbelievably cheap !. I suppose it depends on how much you're purchasing from them, but be sure you are prepared for Import Duty and Charges, it can double your costs.

Good Luck and would like to know how you get on.

      A HUGE thank you to Tony @Docwheelhorse for settin' me up here.
       
      The generosity of some of our members never ceases to amaze me.
       
      This here is another 1974 C160, but with the rare Tecumseh HH/OH160 OHV engine. Made one year only.
       
      It's rough. Very much in need of a full disassembly and restoration.
       
      When it came here it was missing one tie rod and the other was broken off one end.
      Today I popped used tie rods on and Trina used her 867 to drag it from the drive to the shed.
       
      The engine wouldn't move.
      Tin was near chock full of skeletal mouseseses and their house.
      Cleaned that out and the engine spins freely now.
       
      So progress has been made.
       
      It'll be a good long while before we get to this one but I just couldn't turn it down considering the rarity.

      Hello, 
       
      I am hoping someone can help my. I recently acquired a c160 for the engine for another tractor. So I did a motor swap and wanted to see what the hydro was like. I put a plow on it C-160 (which now has a 12hp engine on it). I did a quick test run and everything was good. I drained the fluid and change the filter (Napa 1410 filter and sae 30 transmission fluid as it stated to only use this fluid on the tractor.) everything was working great after the fluid change. I plowed two driveways and the sidewalks near my house... all the sudden the tractor would not go forwards or in reverse. I tried to pick the plow up and nothing... I checked my drive belt it was turning like it should. I started to push the tractor and the rear was engaged so it would not move. Of course I was 400’ from my driveway and the plow was down which made it fun. I put the tractor in forward and started to push it and the thing took off. So I hopped on and took it to the front of the garage. I put it in revers and it cut out again so I pushed it in the garage. Today I went out to check the tow valve. I took it out and cleaned the threads up put it back in and it did not change anything. According to the dipstick I have the proper amount of fluid in it. I did have a drip that I fixed on the cylinder still nothing... does anyone out there have any tips to help me out? I’ve never had a transmission like this only manual transmissions. The model of this transmission is the sundstrand 90-1140.
      Any help would be greatly appreciated.

      I don't have pictures yet but I can get some later. I know that will be helpful but I forgot to take them last night.
       
      So here's what I know.
      When I bought my c-160 last year it came with a plow. It was delivered to my house and the plow was not mounted on it. I never saw this particular plow on that particular tractor.
      The plow I have is 42 inches wide and has a full frame as most of them do.
      The angle lever has the Z shape to it, NOT a straight stick of metal, and also bends slightly back towards the operator.
       
      When I am pulling the angle lever towards me to change the angle of the plow it contacts the brake lever.
       
      Any thoughts?

      I have at least 7 hubs on different tractors that I would like to add a second set screw to.
       
      I have an older but good quality floor model drill press.
      I have the tap set.
      I don't recall ever using the tap set to do anything other than clean out threads. Not make my own thread set.
       
      Can anybody give any particular advice?
