Oh no ,I broke Frankie

[DavidBarkey]

Moving some skids around , nothing too heavy . There was a clunk and low range was not there . I have high range , just not low . There a few things that come to mind . And they all require pulling the rear transaxle assembly. . Now this is going to involve removing the loader , 10 min.s . Then the cab, 3 pt. hitch,rear fenders , gas tank, calipers, loaded rear tires lower track links , hydralic oil / motor lines and then the transaxle assembly . For all the heavy work he does this is the only time in 11 years I have had a break down like this . So can't complain . Just why now when I am so stupid busy
I will do my best to upload pics of the operation .

Well that's no fun at all...

Bolts holding the diff together? Haven't seen a post on that in a long time, but that's the symptom.

Thats what I am thinking as well . I did change them during one of the early builds , but that was about 8 years of hard labour ago.

The only consolation I can see David is you had it all apart before, so it should come apart easier. Good luck in your repair project. Harry

That’s a bummer for sure. I’m interested in what you find when you get it opened up. Hopefully it won’t be too bad.

got a start on it yesterday afternoon

going to put a couple of hours in on it before DR. apointment this morning . Then pull the A/C B-112 out and get ready to take it to Muskoka Pioneer Power Show . Allis Chalmers feature brand this year.

@DavidBarkey will you replace axle bushings and seals while it is open?

Dave,

Are you planning to upgrade to the newer design to eliminate the problem or just repair the old school differential and hope for another 8 years?

At least a broken piece didn't get under the bull gear and punch a hole in the bottom of the casting like usually happens.

@myerslawnandgarden Bob, what is the new design?
