i I posted this a while ago and received no answers s posting again. I recently acquired a gray market B6000. I know this by the apparent plate on the top of the transmission which is in Japanese. So far haven't been able to see the serial number, however there is a sticker on the valve cover...

I don't have those parts as referred to ; In reference to the display Dan posted, remove the shield #15, remove pin #5 and #12. I just have a straight shaft from the transmission to the front differential with aan apparently broken dustcover axle boot style of cover over the U joint as the...

Ok update on front differential oil nt much came out and was light gray in color in the pan but as it flowed out still showed some orange/yellow color to it so...I didn't allow it all to drain just enough to see anything boits of metal and there were none.

Ok people, an update which basically confirms what I've been saying all along. I popped the pin at the front differential u joint coupling (actually there was a wire through the roll pin holding it in place and it came out when I removed the wire), splines seem ok but worn a bit. Can turn...

couplings such as these?

. anything like this on the B6000?

Ok which pin are you referring to in the driveshaft? the first one up nearer the main traansmssion or the one down closer to the pion shaft of the pto. my dust/boot cover for one join is only half there.

Question, how hefty (strong) are those splines on the shafts, could they strip easily?

I got as I said a copy of the B6000 online here or someplace but of course image clarity isn't good as in photocopy quality that's been done a few times then uploaded

I refer to item 25 possibly becoming separated from the ger?

Can you send me a link to download this clearer version of this or entire manual? I hear you on the origin of the potential trouble. Without getting into that disaembly as I have said, just external observation is as I said when all wheels in the air and in gear running it appears that the...

Well from looking at the diagram here, which I'd clearer than my crappy manual pics, everything from the main transmission to the input shaft at the front differential seems connected so the problem I think for sure is/will be with something inside the front differential. I'm assuming it was...

I have a poor copy of a service manual and an operators manual downloaded from this site I think. I'm thinking something like a shear pin/s has let go someplace?

I hear ya and agree. I can turn the pto shaft back and forth a bit each way then it stops so it is connected to the gear at the end if the shaft in the front differential so that part is functioning as it appears to be.

No noises at all just spun freely
