I am a ASE Master tech, I have a Brick nose f150 and a 68 mercury cougar, and i still have this old tractor! broke this transmission a few times by now. all still built with this gear jam locker.

@@restore56 that’s great brother! Keep on keeping on 👍🇺🇸

It's gonna make my race mower a whole lot more reliable

Well, considering you don't need to fabricate or weld anything, the. Skill level is relatively low.

consider at this time i was in middle school, and did not have the funds or skills for a welder. this was a solution i found online, and posted about how i accomplished it. its a compromise.

So it cranks ok when battery is charged, but battery died quickly, does it die after one or two starts or after several? Am I understanding the main issue correctly?

@@restore56 Trying to determine what would cause the battery to not charge correctly while on the mower? Before the motor fire up (not instantly but a few seconds of turning the key). About six months ago I began noticing that while trying to start the motor I felt the negative cable grounding bolt located on the frame was really warm (left side next to battery). Also appeared that the battery would need to be charged more frequently in order to get the motor fire up. As of late the motor will only spin but not actually fire up. Had the battery tested and it was dead…it was only two years old (Walmart 230 CCA). I read reviews stating their lawn tractor batteries have a short life span although I remember other lawn tractor batteries lasting longer ….so I bought another battery that is 275 CCA but have not yet installed it as I want to make sure I have wiring/ground concerns taken care of. I’m not entirely sure if the battery draining was caused by starter beginning wear out, ground issue or if the battery cca were not high enough thus straining the battery etc….apologies for be long winded response. Open to suggestions for adding an extra ground strap (size gauge, where to mount it etc) also any areas to inspect….Thanks again

Held up great! Ended up breaking the trans case. But the diff held and didn't cause the damage. I've since put some striker tires on it, and was pulling vines with the tractor. Ended up hitting hit a little to hard. I've rebuilt it with same axles and diff, with some bearings on the axle shafts this time.

@@restore56 wow that’s really good I’m definitely doing this

Probably not to well at all. It might just uninstall itself in about 13.762 seconds flat. I'll let ya know once I get wound up that high!

@@restore56 ;) thanks for the vid it was very helpful

Would not be a bad idea, but typically leaning over the engine while it's running would be il-advised normally hahahhah

Stole it from another transaxle. Note that there are two different sizes, I believe it is 16 tooth vs 13 tooth. The 13 is stronger, but difficult to line up properly.

Honestly, I'm in the case as of now, broke it with a little bit to hard of a clutch dump hahah. I could remake this video if I get up the motivation.

Ok thanks

restore56, you can delete this comment if you want; I have a video coming out soon on it. and some serious testing. incomplete video sneak peek!: ruclips.net/video/tDu44sSTO-s/видео.html

How long did the welding stick together and what's the point of locking it up once i know why people do it I'll understand better will I mow the yard faster or what

@@Mike-su8si it will make your rear wheels spin at the same speed all the time so it wont give more torque to your outer wheel when making a turn and ut wont tear your grass up

@@botskifani22 alright thanks for telling me.

Mainly the idea that you don't need specialty tools or major skills to do it. Mind you also this was long time ago and welders were a little less cheap and easy to get. Just gotta fiddle with it for a bit haha

Nope! Still trucking. I run about 12 mph top, but it's holding up good. I've since put 23in stryker atv tires on, and those have been sweet, and no complaints from axle

@@restore56 awesome! Thanks for the video and response!

Yeah man, i getcha. I was like 15 then, now i can weld good enuff to get the job done, i probably will weld my next one hahha

Due to the heavy duty version of the pearles used spider gears that have an odd number of teeth, and that makes it almost impossible to fit two extra in. If you use the even number spider gears, you can fit two

@@restore56 is it better to do one or the other

Just keeping it real I like that. You didn't sugar coat the video and make it look all easy breezy .👍👍

I will though but mines a bit newer than that one and I'll clamp it to hold things together then start welding away and block other stuff with pieces of wood so weld splatters don't hit but first before welding anything take off all the rubber seals on the axles

@@Mike-su8si excellent,the spatters is what knocks out bearings and bushings and especially seals

@@strattuner I know

What can I say? Mud mowers are badass machines 😂

Not a bad idea!

thanks! now that im older though, i would make some tube steel spacers to hold the pulley off the fly wheel, hard part would be balancing that well enough not to vibrate your socks off

It's not as much difficult as it is just being patient with it, Id say it's a pretty good option for those who don't have access to a welder

Thanks! i cant take all the credit, i know doc sprocket did it with a peerless 920, but with some persistence, you can lock it with the heavier duty gears. i do plan to remake this video with clearer instructions and better views. and less breathing hahahah

Hahaha For the broken case? No I didn't forget those, while putting the top half on one of the bushings with the tab on it rotated and caused it to crack once it got in a mud hole hah

@@restore56 aww no brah huh lol.. that bites...hahahhahahq.. ima do what you said man on my tractor isa beast... "widebody"... I kill rear ends... but your locker idea looks really cool... ima do that because I've tried almost everything else and I break cases in half like cutting a sandwich with a knife lol... thanks for such a classy video man...its really gonna help me out tomaro.. thanks again brah.. i subd earlier...

Yes this works, and is still working. In some situations shifting your weight is not sufficient to provide enuff traction, or if you want to show off and do some doughnuts In the sand

i though this was okay when i posted it. i realize now its bad. i do not have the time resources or space to remake this video into something better

Yes? haha

no its not easy at all with the i think it was 13 tooth spider gears. might be mistaken, but if you have the i think 16 tooth gears its alot eaiser! haha
