Tranny repair
I sent my tranny to a quack in Massachuesets calling himself Dr. deisel, at Foley engines. Long story short, he lied, telling me my Hurth was destroyed and couldn't be re-built. Then the estimate went up to 1800 for a new replacement. Shopped around and found a guy in Washington State, & bought a new one for 1100.
This year, due to misalginment, had a repeat problem. Before anything else, I opened up the old tranny I made Foley resend to me. Only problem was a bearing on the input shaft.
Found a new bearing for $8.00 and a new seal for about 15. Cleaned it up & went back together relatively easily. The bearing is a standard type cage wheel bearing, that the guy in the auto shop thought came off a trailer.
Good Luck, give it a try.
