1466 transmission

[Gator123]

Hello everyone. I have a question about the
transmission gears in my 1975 international 1466. I
have everything apart so i can replace the ta. My
question is some of the gears are worn a little and
some of the teeth are chipped around the edges.
Not very much and not all the teeth on the gear.
Just a few. Also there is a little play where the gear
slides over the shaft. This is a restoration and will
not be worked or pulled hard but i also don't want to
bust a gear after restoring it. I was wondering how
much play some of you allow or think is ok. I don't
mind buying new gears if i have to but the five that
are worn would cost around $1000.00 with shipping.
Thanks in advance for any help.

If it were me even knowing it is to be a show tractor I would replace the gears so if it needs to be sold it can be sold with reasonable confidence of being field ready. I would say an expenditure like that is to be expected if doing an extensive reconditioning. If it were several thousand dollars that might change my attitude as that would be a huge amount of money to go in something that will not be a worker.

Just about every 1066 and 1466 that i have put a T/A in has gears that are bad and if they were turned up a bunch i have seen the teeth starting to roll over . so your not the first with woren gears in one of them , that is why they make them aftermarket.

3rd and 4th sliding gear is almost always replaced. I would say 2nd gear would be the next most replaced gear....

I'm dealing with the same thing right now. 1st and 2nd sliding gear teeth are chipped, 3rd and 4th is in poor shape also. Rest are wear but look ok. I think im just going to replace the sliding gears.
