L2800 HST PTO Troubles

[Russell King]

Consider how much effort was put into getting to this point. Was it easy or difficult? If you had to do it again to get to the above parts, would you be frustrated or just disappointed with yourself for not already doing it?

They don’t look bad at all to me. But if they are just a few bucks, I would just go ahead and do it. If they are over what you consider a few bucks, I would just put it together with what you have.

Not the worst but slightly nicked up... Are you replacing them or leaving them?

Someone asked a long time ago about re-surfacing them? No one had an answer to that...

One guy who changed his out had a problem with lining up some gears, his solution was wrapping a thin string around the gear so that he could rotate it when putting it back together. (just in case that happens to you, too)

I am going to replace, I don’t want to tear it all down again, figured now is the time!

Not bad at all just real time consuming but the cost savings is worth it, parts were about 1300 with all of the worn out stuff I discovered

This is the farthest I have tore into this tractor, I have also repaired a blown head gasket and I have broke the front pinion twice and repaired it twice!

New cam clutches vs old clutches

first picture is the rear clutch, second picture is the front clutch

Great job... was there any tricky part of the process with changing out the Cams? Or was it pretty straight forward?

 

[Racrx]

Cams was not to bad, I did have that portion of the transmission completely separate from either end of the tractor so it was a little challenging to remove the front cam bolt since everything was moving around

 

[Racrx]

Other worn parts were discovered along the way

 

[Russell King]

Replacing that pin and engaging plate should tighten that up quite a bit.

It is interesting they modified the holes to slots in that one part so there is some adjustment in position possible.

I only just pasted 1000 hours - since you got 1.5 times that many hours... I doubt I'll have that kind of wear. BUT since I plan to keep this (hopefully) another 20 years and maybe longer... are those mostly HST parts? The last couple of photos (I believe) are the rocker for the HST (forward and back) are the other parts also related to it?

If you order them, can you post the receipt (just the part numbers) I'll order them to be shelved for "one day"... (kind of like my Cams, although, this winter, I open her up)

And forgot to add... THANKS for posting these photos!!!

Yes i believe these are all parts specific to the HST, I will post a parts list, a few of the parts i just "fixed", I welded up the worn pin and reinstalled, I also had a hole worn in the neutral arm assembly that I welded up.
