Those transmissions are incredibly tough. All those missed shifts over the years and so many learning to drive trucks with them and the guts always look very good considering..... I think the gears were made of kryptonite. Crab looks delicious!

Been there done that....
I was able to find all new gears for mine. P.T.O looks similar too. You can still get the seals for it so be careful when popping those out. The numbers are on the face.

i will be able to reuse gears from my spare. the seal only has a S stamped on it,you wouldn,t happen to have the number! my PTO is jammed, i suppose the aluminuim case seized on the shafts. i will put the block plate instead ,and see to the PTO later. what oil do you use i see they say to put 600 weight oil. i suppose it helps to stop leaks especially since theres no front seal.

You say that yours is an aluminum case? Guess it is not the same as mine. There is a transmission for sale locally that has a pto on it on CL.
Do you know the make?

Be careful with the 600 weight designation. A few places sell 600W gear oil, but most people use a conventional 75, 90, 140 or multiviscosity type. There is an issue with newer lubes eating brass synchros, but unless you have a magic 4-speed that is not a concern. Search the forum for info on the correct gear lube. You have to take the PTO seals to a shop that sells seals and match them to something they have. I tried to purchase seals in advance for the mechanic who rebuilt my tranny and got nowhere using the PTO manufacturer info. Good luck.
Gary, I had chipped gears (and lots of noise in 3rd) in my tranny from previous owners, but my long learning curve is probably taking a toll on the gears from the spare tranny.

Nice!! I'm glad to see I'm not the only one who keeps a tube of grease on the bench and trims down the tube, then puts the lid back on. If you misplace the plastic cap, a model T hubcap works great too.

Good news on the brake adapters! You would have been SOL till you found some. Interesting PCV valve on that intake. I've never seen a setup like that on these engines. I'll have to take a look at my truck to see if that port even exists on my engine.

I had one of those transmissions behind a 371 Olds with 3 deuces in my first jitney I built when I was 15. It never missed a beat and I got that wonderful straight cut gear growl as a bonus.

Guy's,
The GL-4 rated 80/90 and 140 is whats recommended for the tranny's and rear ends with brass/bronze parts in them. That's what I had to put in the rear end of my Model T's and I put it in the rear end of the '41.
Hard to find as most places. Got mine at Napa.

hi guys! no motor yet but he said it should be ready this month. i sent my radiator to a radiator shop (they are getting hard to find with all the aluimium and plastic radiators). it leaked on the top tank. guy by phone said if it were mine i would remove tank to repair and rod it. he phone today and said the heat from welding the tank,damaged the welds on the tubes. so its leaking at the tubes and not repareable. he wants 800 for a new core. i see on mac website 198 for an alumium one. its seems like a better deal! i would liked to keep the brass one for looks but thats alot of money. anybody tried them,they should be good heat transfer. with my engine budget doubling i sure don,t want it to heat!!!
