Reassemble Gearbox
NOTE: Repair to this gearbox is limited to replacing bearings, seals, and gaskets. Replacing gears, shafts, and a housing is not cost effective. Purchasing a com- plete gearbox is more economical.
1.Clean housing, paying special attention to areas where seals will be installed.
2.Wash housing and component thoroughly. Select a clean area for gearbox assembly. Replace all seals and bearings. All parts must be clean and lightly oiled before reassembling.
3.Install shims (14), upper output bearing (8), spacer (16), lower output bearing (8), shims (17), and snap ring (15) on output shaft. Use new shims equal to the thickness of the original shims.
