Well I just finished putting the transmission back together and back on the engine. So far so good. It appears to work but I haven't load tested it yet. I still have to finish reassembling the FEL and body before further testing. It was a bit nerve racking getting the transmission lined up even with the guide rods but it eventually went together with minor adjustments and moving the flywheel. |

Sounds about normal putting it back together, so it works (so far) with the new flat plates instead of the old cupped ones? |

So far but that is only spinning one of
the wheels in the air. I still more
assembly before I can drive it. |

The one wheel spinning while its in the air is the differential is working, your tractor may have another pedal to lock the differential as needed. |

I know. I jacked up one wheel to see if
the transmission was engaging at all. I
was worried about the small sealing rings
on the oil supply tube of the input shaft.
They didn't go together easy. |

That's why I'm glad my 1965 MF2135 industrial is a manual shuttle with a clutch. I bought a 1971 Ford 4500 TLB with the instant reverse/torque converter deal, I swapped it out for a regular Ford 6x2 manual transmission with a clutch. For what I'm going to use it for on the farm I really don't need the instant reverse/torque converter setup. The Ford instant reverse also doesn't handle/like heat too much so I'd figure I'd kill a lot birds with one stone. |

I understand that. After buying most of
parts for transmission I think I could
have converted it to manual cheaper or at
least about the same price. |
