BTW, Check your #117 rubber plugs. Part number 1L5Z7A107AA. Out here in the desert they dry up and shrink. Enough to fall out. Then after leaking too much of the ATF in those trannys they go bad.

 

Doh! Thank you!
Clarksville is across the river from Louisville, Ky. I'm west of Indianapolis about 2 hours.


There not leaking but I want to change them while it's torn down. I might change the 3rd/4th gear fork anyway, it's a little worn on the 3rd gear side.

 

The 3-4 fork part number is F1TZ7231A. Still available but on backorder.

Is this a "part" number or an "engineering" number? Someone's liable to correct you on this if you didn't phrase it just right. (either way, I know what you're saying).

 

I know I don't have the part numbers or the paperwork from when I ordered parts from my buddy last winter. If you get in a pinch, I can try to order it and get it for you from his supplier(if they still have them?)

 

Actually I did need to be corrected. I must have dragged the cursor a tad when I was clicking on the parts list for the fork the other day. It's heck when I'm typing and my wholesale phone lights up. I get in a bit of a hurry.

 

Finally got off my butt and finished the M5R2 rebuild. I had to put a hole in the tailshaft housing for the speedo cable but first I had figure out where the hole needed to be placed.


I made a fixture to mimic the speedo gear inside the housing.


So I could touch off of it and figure out where the final hole placement needs to be.

I touched off the rough hole in the casting to get an approximate location of where the hole needed to be placed. I cleaned up the casting surface and drilled a small hole so I could locate the position of the fixture.

Next I bored the the final hole..... Freightrain, I was within a few thousandths of the rough hole in the casting.

Bored, drilled and tapped.

This is where I started saying bad words. When I checked how well the gears meshed, I found out the OD and ID of the gear was not concentric.

I had to make an improvised collet to hold the gear while I bored out the gear so I could press in a bushing.

Turned the bushing and pressed them together.

Since I couldn't use the ball to retain the gear I just drilled a hole in the flange of the bushing so I could use a roll pin to holed the gear.

When you get the countershaft, input shaft and tail shaft in just the right position and it just falls together.

After check the bearings with a depth mic. I had to get a different thickness input shaft and countershaft shims.

Now I can get back to work on the highboy.

 

WOW awesome craftmanship as always Gavin, very well done
what does that license plate say, 70FTE?

 

Man, nice job with the speedo gear!

 

You made that look easy,,,,, Nice work sir.

 

Cool stuff fer sure!

 

Gavin...nice work on the F100! Don't forget to enjoy the '11 once in a while!

 

Nice work Hunter. I like how you shot a roll arrow through there to hold the gear on.
All kidding aside, AWESOME Buddy.....AWESOME.

 

Good eye Gerry, I got the plates this summer, I can't wait to use them.

I should have just looked for a pre '92 tailhousing but I like to work with what I've got, and I'm lazy. Thanks Pat.

Just for you Zack.....

I did manage to get a nice doe this season, it was a team effort. I crutched out to my ground blind and my wife carried my chair and my bow. A buddy of mine gutted it, loaded it up in the tractor, took it back to the house and then quartered it for me. I am very lucky to have great friends and a terrific wifey! She also helped me process it.
PS That workbench can also be used for working on transmissions.


Thank you. I can't wait to see your door panel surprise.

Thanks buddy, I enjoy the SD almost every day.

LOL! That shaft was case hardened so I had to use some solid carbide center drill magic before I could drill it.Thanks for the kind words your highness.

 

Wow. Spectacular work. I have to pull my tailshaft and reattach my speedo gear. The clip I used failed(in the first 1/2 mile I drove it). I should have used a snap ring like a toploader has. My fault. You won't have that problem!

I used a carbide ball endmill to spotface mine for the clip I used.
