it is a ring off of a center gear that is on the mainshaft. If you’re lucky the teeth are off the gear but I would say more than likely you might have teeth missing off the countershafts and those countershafts are all one piece, they are not individual gears on the shaft. There were some center...

Another thing, you mentioned it wanting to move at idle. I had a fresh overhaul out of the crate and it would move like that. I took the front clutch apart and found it to be very dirty. The centrifugal action of the oil in the clutch housing makes it a great filter in that debris, like fine...

Let me clarify that, it will only come out moving to the driver side but can be accessed through either PTO cover but driver side is easier.

Sorry for the late response again. Here is what you are dealing with. Just slide it right to left, pretty sure it will only come out sliding to the driver side.

Kinda late on this conversation but if you are wanting to clean the screen, you don’t have to pull the tube off, probably don’t want to do that anyway without pulling the front clutch off and going in that way. The screen just slides into the bottom of the pickup tube and snaps in place. Some...

HaHa! Yeah, it was actually a reinforced paper shop towel that had been stuffed in the drain of the main gear case for the rear clutch! Pulled the rear clutch off and it was sandwiched between the two. A rebuild from Fort Polk. Had other instances of shoddy workmanship in 2 other Fort Polk...

Did you ever figure out what was going on with the gasket?

These were the instructions on one of the 915's we drove in Iraq!

From reading all the post, I have missed meeting a great man. Prayers for all involved. Wayne

Soni had this on a shifter that I got from him. Looks like he made an adapter to shroud the sharp edge of the rectangle shift lever. Gives a little more to pull up on.

Like Wes said, I run a 7155 over the road every week, Somewhere over 80,000 mi since July 2016. Haven't had any problems with the air system. I started out with a 2009 Fort Polk overhauled tranny, I did pull the rebuilt valve body off and put on a brand new one out of the crate. I do use a...

Sorry to hear about the tires. You could flip them around and as the shoulder wears, the footprint is going to become more rounded and may be more prone to wondering, just my experience. If all tires are same, you could move them to a drive position and rotate forward. If it was me, I would...

Looking real good! Now you need a Jake brake to slow that girl down!

Nothing going on with the governor? Or with the air dryer you installed?

Hey Wes, When you have it running, before you put the yoke on, I would make sure you have oil pressure all the way to the back. My first Fort Polk overhauled transmission wasn't and burnt the bearing up and cracked the rear clutch housing. There is a video at idle here...
