3000 tranmission

[Tim/NC]

I have 67 ford 3000 8 speed live pto.First/fifth gear needs replacing.One tooth broken off.Can it be replaced by spliting at front of transmission only or will I have to split it at the rear also.
I have a manual but it does not say on this.
Thank you.

I would expect that complete removal of the transmission will be necessary. I'd also suggest you get the Ford manual for this project... There's apt to be a lot of specs in there for shimming and setting bearing preloads that you ought to observe... particularly if you're going to change some bearings.

Rod is correct.
You will need to remove the tranny from the tractor so you can work on it from both ends.

If you are going to keep it and use it I would figgure on a complete tear down from the get go...

Thanks for your replies.I have aready replaced the ring and pinion. Did not see the missing tooth on first gear.Looks like I will be splitting it from both ends this time.
Thanks again. Tim/NC
