My charger rebuild

[The Tuul Crib 7,332]

So the last month or two in quarantine I decided to paint all the parts for my charger rebuild. With that now set aside and has time to cure I decided to start on the transmission rebuild . I had to take priority and do a couple jobs for some customers.Now its time to dive into this Sunstrand. Got all the parts cleaned and  set aside ready to go. Now I need to fix the brake pawl and l need to make a decision between  a 14 horse or 16 on this tractor. seems to be an easy decision but I'm still thinking about it.

Two halfs thoroughly cleaned now I'm waiting on Wheelhorse parts and more which I just ordered a new case gasket!

Looks good Randy.

 

Is there a decision base for the 14 vs 16 hp?

Like do you NEED more horsepower?

  When I rebuilt the Black Horses trans' I didn't use a gasket. Just jointing cement. Can't remember the make.

If you have access to a piece of copper that is 1/8" or thicker you can use it as a back-up and weld the end of the pawl. That way you only have to grind one side, the weld won't stick to copper.

check them needle bearings, when i rebuilt my 1054 tranny i wasnt going to replace them but after closer inspection i discovered they had much more play so i changed all, very easy fix and lowell here on red square had everything i needed .

I'll second that.

The ones in the last transmission I went through were MUCH worse than I thought after a closer look.

 

[The Tuul Crib 7,332]

Today I got the slippers surfaced and I am trying to figure out how to get the swashplate out of the pump to surface it as well. The rest of this transmission seems to be in fairly good shape. Looks like whoever had it before took good care of it!

[The Tuul Crib 7,332]

So I got home today and got the swash play out. I started with 400 grit went to 600 grit now I'm at 1000 grit. I'll have to wait till I can go to get some 1500 paper to finish it off and have a good polish shine.

sure is hard on the arms doing this but it should be worth it.

Today I just fixed the parking brake pawl. 
A little bit of welding and a little bit of 

grinding!  Also just ordered the correct seals from Wheelhorse parts and more , and painted the deck as well. It had three holes in the deck and I put patches and all of them!
my hats off to Jollet and I hope I spelled her name right. She is A real hoot! 
Great service there!

Joette, Lowell’s wife   lookin’ great Randy!

[The Tuul Crib 7,332]

Have been extremely busy lately finally got some time to do some more polishing. I believe the slippers in this plate will do well!

[The Tuul Crib 7,332]

Getting some parts together to make sure everything spins freely. Trying to get this back together so I can start putting together my charger. All the pieces are clean and painted and have been sitting for a couple months. Hope to have something to look at soon! Plus I'm looking at the shaft around the key area and looks like it has been repaired. Does look like it's been done professionally. No cracks! 
Oh and by the way I don't have all the bolts in the bull gear. I work four 10 hour days so I'd rather come 

sit down! Got to go get new nuts😂😂😂!

Just a suggestion but you might want to use Grade 8 bolts in the differential.  (Or even Grade 9)  Their failure is a big cause of tranny problems...

[The Tuul Crib 7,332]

That is what I'm planning on doing I just put a couple bolts as well as new nyla nut to hold it together until I can get the correct ones but I'm still looking for 11 1/4 x 1 1/8 axle.

I can't tell if that key cut was repaired or not.  If the width is much greater than the key, that can look like a repair as the bulge forms from the displaced steel.  Whatever you decide on the axle, be sure that you have a set screw on top of the key and add another if needed at 90 degrees from the key.    Add a flat on the axle for the second key.

Got the case together so l can start

assembling some parts. I'm still working on the transmission slowly but surely. Ordered a piston today for the 16 horse and machine shop said it needs to go 30 over. The piston that was in it was already 20 over but the cylinder head some 

ware. 

[The Tuul Crib 7,332]

Waiting on final parts from wheel horse parts and more. So I'm starting to work on the motor. I'm putting a 16 Horse on this one. Motor has been bored 30 over a piston new connecting rod New valve guides and new valves.

[ebinmaine 63,117]

Gonna look snazzy

[lynnmor 6,776]

That cam lobe looks rather nasty, what is going on there?  Might be a good time to start another oil discussion/argument.

[The Tuul Crib 7,332]

About to put the pump back on the 

valve body.All surfaces have been 

surfaced . All new seals and o rings. 
Was lucky to have a donor trans

for some extra parts!
Yeee Haaa!

Starting to make a little progress today got the hood stand on and set the hood on top

to see if it fit. Yep!! I had a hard time trying to locate a simple 1/4 20 set screw to put the steering wheel shaft in place. Out of all the parts and pieces that I have I still had to run to Ace to pick up a $.75 part ! It ended up costing me a seven dollar and

50 cent lunch!! Mmmm

[ebinmaine 63,117]

Looking good man!
