Thats a beautiful thing..i wish mine was a dump..and a 211..

I have about 400 Cad plus my time into it so far. A friend is doing the machining on the cuff so it would be higher if he would accept some cash..he enjoys being in on the dark side of restomod lol. If i was building the next case at shop rate i would figure the hours like this. Cleaning and...

Main upper output seal number 2276335 Input seal number 415449

The weak link Im calling this a win also despite being extremely frustrating. Its a win because it fell apart litterally in my hands as i went to slide the rear output shaft through the bearing retainer. This is the cone that the wedge bolts tighten against to load the rear output bearing. The...

Some time to play in the shop I got to fitting the mainshafts in the tcase tonight. Things look good. I had the machinist remove .25" from the mainshaft sliding gear ( that engages the drive or the pto) and it looks like that was too conservative. The gear is still too long to allow a safe...

If you have a chance to get an M135/211 or variant at a reasonable price in reasonable condition i agree go for it. If transmission parts go the way of the uniorn..repower..it isnt such a bad deal. As the parts dry up people crush ttucks out of ignorance and before you know it there are a...

I'm getting things in a different order than you would do if you were following this step by step..but it has to happen this way. Theres no way to measure for the relief in the cover untill i have the gears assembled in the case. Once i have those numbers i can remove the shafts (again...

First pic is looking from outside..clearance is fine..second pic is looking back through the top cover..again lots of clearance..its hard to tell but there is more clearance to the case than the stock gears have so we are good. Third pic is how the cluster all stacks up..nice and tidy. Tomorrow...

Heres the slot in the shaft where the key goes, the key in place in the shaft, and how it looks when the shaft is keeping the spacer in place. Not a lot of room.. but do-able. You could probably do this with the front bearing removed, but this works fine..just be patient and dont force/beat on...

The meat of the pudding Okee dokee..so this is the spacer that goes between the back side of the front bearing and the front side of the first gear in the cluster. Its the second hardest part to deal with in reassembling the (former) pto gear cluster on the shaft in the case. Best bet is to...

Spring ahead.. Well my masters finally gave me a few days off to play in my own shop..i managed to make some new gaskets and start roughing in the new pto cover. Tomorrow ill get onto assembling the gearing and check the fit on those keys i picked up. If all goes well some more pics and i can...

Yes Sir i did. I cant see any yellow metal what so ever in there..its all steel shafting and bearings. Probably why its such a robust unit.

2019 update Well..Santa was late with my parts..spent fully half the day diving all over the dark side of surrey and finally found some keys..so i got 4. Part number 302-091. Best i could do.. Cullen Diesel supplied a genuine effort and dug through the back room for a full 30 mins with no...

Hopefully over christmas ill have a couple of days to get this closer to completion on the inside..i dont think a full tutorial on making a cover is needed but ill include it. At the end maybe the moderators can clean up the thread and it can be a sticky if everything works out.

Parts/machining plus notable mention is fine by me brother.

I understand what youre saying..but in this instance the power transmission is all through the gears on this one shaft in particular. Input shafts and output shafts yes, splines on the shaft get the job done. I appreciate your input G. I'm always having fun

There is only one gear keyed to the shaft and its on the output end. The gears are dogged together and the dogs do the job of transmitting the torque. The shaft merely keeps things aligned. The gears on the shaft relative to each other, and the assembly relative to the other gears/shafts in the...

No doubt..metalurgy has come a long way since these trucks rolled off the line..and that was what i was getting at..using a nasa grade key in a soft shaft might not be the best. The key doesnt support the gear. It prevents the gear cluster from rotating on the shaft. The shaft is supported by...

Well..if all goes as planned my rig will have an allison..so the 1st to 2nd full throttle shift will most likely be the short side axle shaft killer. From what i can tell there is no mechanical coupling between the gear cluster and the shaft save for the key..so the power is being sent through...

Well the one that came out sure isnt hard..a couple of passes with a file and there was no doubt. Im kinda on the fence with the hard..i can see the consequences both ways and it aint good either way. The gat dang drydock is sucking all my time..another 13 hours in the frozen wind tunnel...
