WOW good luck with that John
nice tractor Colin

 

Happy Thursday mornin'all. A scorcher today. I hear ya John. Too hot to get motivated today. I want to drop my trans pan, and install the Lokar shift lever. I also have to remove the tailshaft housing. I pushed the yoke in yesterday, and got a face full of trans fluid thru the breather hole. Trans shop said, there is a boot in there that seals the tailshaft? Gerry. Is this true? I Took Dawn in this morning for her gallbladder op. Have a great day guy's.

 

Good afternoon.
Nice Massey tractors Colin, I have a couple of 1100`s, an 1130 plus a 2745.
The heat which is supposed go away later tomorrow or in the evening but I hope it doesn`t turn into nasty thunder, hail storms with the big temperature change.
You have made really great progress John, my hat`s off to you!
Is Dawn`s gallbladder being removed Grant? I had mine out about 13 yrs ago and it went really well.

 

We just got back from the hospital. Yes Morris, she had it removed. It's hard to keep the dog's of her. Have a good one.

 

Wish Dawn the best Grant.

 

Thanks. Will do John. I put in my Lokar shift lever.(had to drop the pan) Now my factory kickdown won't work, so I had to order a Lokar Kit. Would have been nice to know this when I bought the shifter. $110.00 cdn on Amazon, free shipping, here in 2 days. $67.00 US at summit + shipping. I ordered it from Amazon.ca. Jordan and Kalan will eat potato's for a week or two to recover the cost's. On our way back from Kenora, We stopped at a chip stand that Dawn & I ate at on our honey moon, 28yrs ago. Good food, but expensive. Jordan's bacon double cheeseburger was like $12.00, so for under 10 double cheeseburger's I get a new kickdown set-up.

 

Hope every thing goes well for Dawn.

Good work John

 

Morning boys. Wishing Dawn a speedy recovery Grant!

Tractor pulls here this evening. Hopefully a good show.

Have a great Friday guys, stay cool!!

 

Hey Grant yes the rear seal has a dust boot on it with a little air hole in it,
if you replace the seal make sure the hole is facing down, glad to hear Dawns ok, MMMmmmmm burgers

 

Is that the same type of seal on the C6 Gerry, I'm going to need to change mine too when the time comes.

 

Happy Friday Mornin'all. Thanks for all the well wishes for Dawn. Thanks for the info Gerry. The rear seal I installed does not have that boot. Have a great day guy's.

 

Yes John, same as a C6, some guys will try n sell the seal without the boot......
same result only no dust boot but you guys are not 4 wheeling

J if you want the seal with a boot go to a trans shop

 

Thanks Gerry.

 

Gerry. is there a boot or seal on the inside of the tailshaft? the fluid is leaking thru the center hole of the driveshaft yolk.

 

A transmission shop I use charged me $4 cash for a C4 seal.
