KW Project

You deffinetly have a prime high dollar item there for the truckers !!

Got into trans today, started at bellhousing, replaced lever side shaft and bushings, easy peesy, then on to the rear seal and speedo sensor. Sensor was a brute by PB Blaster got it out, then that rear yoke, NOT Good.

Truck and I entered another Come to Jesus or GO to Jesus meeting that devolved into a Come or Bleed moment, I still won. Yoke was rust frozen to spline shaft, Speedo star wheel is as well but that will be a tomorrow event. Ended up with 4.5" cut off grinder wheels and then split the cut yoke with a chisel to get the puller to drag it off. Yoke is far cheaper than even buying just a Transmission Rear Section to replace that bad seal. Had it blazing hot with torch and flailed with 8# hammer with puller taut, NADA.

Grease line was missing on Lever side shaft/bushings, is BACK ON Now.

Grease line for clutch shaft is an option. KW and PETE always had the lines, cheaper trucks such as freight shaker or navicrap usually dont have lines, just the fittings which can be a bear to get to

Experience is a fancy name for past mistakes. "Great moments are born from great opportunity"

1968 D15D,1962 D19D
Also 1965 Cub Loboy and 1958 JD 720 Diesel Pony Start

Received all but the yoke as to parts yesterday, yoke will be here today(one of Three known to exist in the US), where will get this reassembled and back under the machine this weekend. New yoke was under $250.

Been down same roads Don, this one seemed the worst I had ever experienced!!

Got down to Bidnes Yesterday and this far for today.

What model is that tranny? 16713? My 07 binder has a FRO 18910 metric and has the range shift stuff built into the top plate.

Yesterday was Cleanup Day, at points HAVE to realign the shop so Not Quite so filthy a mess to work thru!!

Will be More of that today, gathering up the tools and reorganizing as need to get the Block cleaning and prep done then uprighted to normal position and ready to re-install to frame.

Got to work this morning, was letting the truck run and warm up, boss arrived where all was good except the rain. Was figuring a day of sand hauls in pouring showers until Noonish, boss asked if I could use a Day Off work on Home Stuff., did NOT have to ask twice!!

So wife was off, I came home for some Quality Time, IN THE SHOP!! Worked a short time where decided should do Something with her, so cleaned a bit went into town and did some small stuff shopping. Filled HER car with gas, came home and BACK into shop!

Got a taste further, Bores are all shined up, deck has been pretty well cleaned up where will hit it again after set into truck. Set the engine upright and finished clean of Flywheel installed pilot bearing then clutch. My old 2" cut off Input still functional for this, changed it out from a 13 spd MANY MANY Sleeps ago either in 1983 or 84. Also did some paint where will be inaccessible once start hanging other stuff to it and be behind frame.

Next up, reset front structure & gear Train, front seal package and damper, Paint up the Front and set the engine pretty well as see it.

There is actually a Jack to install these under a Truck. We did not have those 30+ years ago when the 15.5" clutches came out.

Doug,I call on you to go back and read....it's all there.

Works on All the truck clutches out there, no more Armstrong Work. Was handy to set this one off my hoist.

So I HAD to change it, buddy saw the Yellow on the Block, was actually drying MORE yellow as it were to a ALLIS Construction Yellow!! So off to Carquest and a couple rattle cans of 'New Cat Yellow'. Still is first coated Allis, but now is returned to CAT.

Are steel in this engine, have a Oring seal holds them in place. Have one will have to make a blank from the old Crankcase vent drain fitting.

Today was Busy Day, however cannot locate the New front seal I got with the kit ANYWHERE, sucks losing stuff. Not wasting time, will order another in morning. Have a Buttload of odds and ends needed to set the head once get that far.

Next up finish setting engine mounts, stab trans and bolt up, finish that re-install with Drive Line. Re-install Tool Box under Passenger door. Radiator is going out for a Replacement Core, once out did not really care for what it looks like.

Is it normal to install the head AFTER the motor is in the tractor, or did it just work out that way with parts timing ? .... is head / ehxaust / turbo all one CHUNK ?

Like them all, but love the "B"s.
