3.Remove snap ring (10) and shim (13) from input shaft (3).

4.Support gearbox in hand press and push on input shaft (3) to remove bearing (7).

5.Remove six cap screws (23) and top cover (22) from housing. Remove gear (1) from inside housing.

6.Remove oil seal (19) from front of housing (to be replaced).

7.Remove snap ring (10) and shim (13) from front of housing (2).

8.Remove input bearing (7) by using a punch and hammer from outside of housing.

9.Support housing in vise in a horizontal position.

10.The castle nut (15), 9 ga. wire (25), and hub are already removed with the stump jumper/crossbar. Remove the protective seal (8), and oil seal (18).

11.Remove cotter pin (9), castle nut (14), and washer (17) from output shaft (4).

Gearbox Assembly

Refer to Figure 18.

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 specific attention to areas where gaskets will be installed.

2.Wash housing and all components thoroughly. Select a clean area for gearbox assembly. Replace all seals, bearings, and gaskets. All parts must be clean and lightly oiled before reassembling.

3.Insert both output bearings (6) in the housing, using a round tube of the correct diameter and a hand press.

4.Slide output shaft (4) through both bearings (6) until it rests against top bearing (6).

5.Slide shim (16) over output shaft (4).

6.Press gear (5) onto output shaft (4) and secure with washer (17), castle nut (14), and cotter pin (9).

7.Apply grease to lower seal lips (18) and press seal

(18)over output shaft (4), using a tube of the correct diameter. Be sure not to damage the seal lip.

Press in housing so that seal is recessed. Press protective seal (8) until seated flush with housing. Verify that the seal (8) is seated correctly.

8.Press bearing (7) into the housing, using a round tube of the correct diameter and a hand press. Secure with shim (13) and snap ring (10).

9.Secure snap ring (11) on input shaft (3) if not already secure.

10.Place gear (1) through top of housing and align gear (1) and gear (5) so that gear teeth are a match.

11.While holding gear (1) in place, slide input shaft (3) through gear (1) and bearing (7). Align splines on shaft (3) and gear (1).

12.Slide spacer (12) over input shaft (3) and press bearing (7) onto input shaft (3), using a round tube of the correct diameter and a hand press.
