This is really mind boggling... Pulling yesterday, I had a little breakage... Got it tore down today to find four teeth off the bull gear, and a twisted axle. I am not making near the horsepower as most folks, but seem to be applying it all. Did this happen slowly? recon the other side is the same way? ------------- C, WD45,WD puller, 185, 200, 7060 Red Belly, 7060 Black Belly,8010, and a R52 Gleaner, AND PROUD OF THEM! |

| Jason, don't be too worried, It happens. One thing is make sure your bearings are like new & TIGHT. This makes sure the gears mesh completely & aren't pulling on just part of the teeth- also if they get to crow-hopping-one wheel spinning then the other-especially fast & violently-that is awful hard on them. I would say what happened was the teeth broke then a piece lodged between the gears-locking it up then that's when you twisted the axle. I've broke 2 on my WC's, like I said it happens, just keep extra parts around and realize that's part of making good power. Sounds like you had a bad day w/ your truck & all. Good luck in the future.

| Might as well replace finals with D17 finals. Axel and gear brakeage is common on WD and WD45 when power is increased. MACK |

I wish I had knew this before I bought another WD45. I was lead to believe late model 45's were better.... I could of bought D17 finals cheap.... GRRR Thanks Mack, I may get them and add to parts barn! ------------- C, WD45,WD puller, 185, 200, 7060 Red Belly, 7060 Black Belly,8010, and a R52 Gleaner, AND PROUD OF THEM! |

Yep. Final drive bearings are very important. My vote on the twistage is also that a broken tooth locked things down badly enough to do big damage. ------------- There isn't much a WC can't do. WD's just do it better. |

| you must have better tracks in Tennessee than we do in Missouri. About how far can you guys pull out there. |

If you are referring to weight classes, We usually stop around 5000, but have been to 5500 with the modified tractor and up to 6500 with the "farm Stock" tractor. ------------- C, WD45,WD puller, 185, 200, 7060 Red Belly, 7060 Black Belly,8010, and a R52 Gleaner, AND PROUD OF THEM! |
