 Come on, she put it in the dryer again. Oh, hell! Poison girls. Welcome to another video. Ignore that some other time. We have something different again today. We're only taking it apart, and I have no clue what's inside. All I know is it's stuck in gear. And this is it. This is a 1967 transmission from a right-on lawnmower. I believe it's a cup cadet maybe. I'm supposed to have a manual for this. It is from 67. That makes it what, 53 years? 53 years this thing lasted with no issues. I don't see any evidence that it's been a part before. As you can see I've drained the oil. I can't see, you probably won't be able to, metal particles everywhere. This big chunk, well, that's not chunk, but a lot of greasy old oil mixed with the particles, metal particles stuck onto the magnetic plug. So when it was draining out I could see lines of metal shavings kind of floating everywhere. It doesn't matter what I do. It's in gear at all times. Now it doesn't want to go to whatever gear is this way. I have no idea because I don't have the manual. And this is what I was given. I haven't seen a lawnmower. All right, let's take it apart. So this may be neutral, and this is the problem. Anybody looking for Mustang heads 302? Let me know. These are worn quite a bit. So this is the selector. You can see how this gear slides back and forth. Now, I'm no expert on transmissions, but something doesn't look right over here. I don't know if it came apart on me when I was taking it apart or or what happened over here because something looks like something is missing. Or broken I should say. So, so far, all I could find that's add is this bent piece and you could see that through the opening, through the gear selector opening. Can you see that right here? So I'm gonna go fix this. Here we go, like new. All right, next day. This is where I met after about an hour of messing around with this. Figured I just I wouldn't even wouldn't wouldn't make sense to share with the whole process, but basically two things that I found that were wrong. Nothing is broken miraculously. There's a lot of sludge inside the casing, a lot of build-up in this area here around this big gear and on this cover as well. That's the big gear as well here. And that's all this. Just a handful. This is what happens when you don't change your oil in your engine too. Same thing. Change your oil. So I already cleaned this part of the cover. These I'm just gonna spray with brake cleaner. I'm not gonna go too crazy on cleaning these parts. Just trying to get rid of this old oil build-up, all this sludge. So when the fresh oil goes in it's gonna be cleaner for a little longer. So that's all I have left as far as cleaning goes. I'm just gonna flip this around and just spray brake cleaner everywhere. And then I'm gonna put it back together. And instead of the original gasket, which is gone and it was already leaking, I'm gonna use RTV. That's plenty good for me looking for bigger chunks. But this is pretty good. All right. Not changing any oil seals. I don't have any probably not even available. This guy goes here. Okay, the other problem, which took me a bit to figure out, was this selector. Now before, I could not move it with my hand like that. It was impossible. I had to knock it on the table to switch a gear. Now what I did was, you see this hole here, on the other side of the shaft, right in here, there's a spring and then there's a ball. And the ball ends up in these ridges. Locks it in place. What I did was I took this little spring out and I cut a piece of it. Maybe one-tenth of the whole size of the spring to make more room for the ball. So the ball is a little bit deeper. And it makes it easier for this to move. And that was it. Now, before I cleaned it, I hit it all together and I was able to select... It's got four gears. I got the manual. It's got reverse, first, second and third. I'm gonna show you the manual a little bit later. So this guy goes in here. I think. Now this one was fine. I didn't do anything. It's actually easier to move this one than this one after the fix. Oh, yeah. I'm not gonna play with the gears now because it's not gonna work. The cover needs to be on. Okay, I'm not gonna put our TV on it now, although it is ready. I'm trying to test fit this. Make sure all the gears are good. So this down should be first. Second, third. Or was this reverse? No. Never mind. This is reverse. I forgot. The lever would be right here. So this is reverse. So first, second, third reverse. Okay, we're good. Well, I know some of you may say, oh, what are you doing? You're scratching the surface. Yeah, I am. Maybe a little bit. Probably not. It's just cast iron. It's not aluminum. But I'm gonna use our TV so it doesn't really matter. So finger tight for now. And then I'm gonna come back after an hour maybe and tighten these down to, let's say, maybe eight foot pounds of torque, maybe less. We'll see. Probably reuse this gasket. Nah, maybe not. Yeah, so third and second here. That was the spring problem. Because these gears are actually perfect when you switch them. This one, the one that I didn't take apart, is a little too soft. See, not even the click. It doesn't even got click anymore. Gotta have the click. 67. While we wait, let's check out this manual from 67. I don't know about this. I don't think it's a craftsman or the transmission. That's what I meant. Beach five, six. This is how I knew what the gears are. I'm gonna see the tractor a little later. I'm gonna have the guy bring it to me. Yeah, nothing on the transmission. Looked online for any info, nothing. These are the different attachments. Ground speed, a whopping 3.6 miles in third gear. And this is it. Any of you missing manuals for these? Here are the part numbers. And that's it. See what we're gonna do. Let's start with five. Seems like five is plenty. I'm gonna put the wheels back on. Just these washers, wheel. And then this C-clip and this pulley here. I'm actually gonna put it back on the tractor and then we're gonna test it out. 66. Second gear, third gear. You're the real driver now. So you have to use pressure. Pressure points. Superstarts. It uses this starter generator. So it charges and you don't see that too often. I think the carburetor is cleaning. And mostly the inside's cleaned though. It's original. This is just not original. Crankcase breather here. I had to make it modified. It was looking too much oil out of the crankcase blow-by. Modified a blow-by venter. And there's the working gearbox. Yes. We only have one bottle in there. We need one more. Wheelie popper. Did you see that wheelie popper? Oh yeah. It's third gear of wheelie pop too. That's those low gear ratios, that's why. Doesn't that motor feel like more than six horsepower? I bet it's got more horsepower. It's rated for six? What does it say here? Six. Oh yeah, that's right. Six horses. But it's more like a 12 today's standards. All right guys, that is it for this one. I hope it's going to be useful to somebody who still has one of these. Which is pretty cool if you ask me. Having an old lawn mower like this that still works with mostly original parts. Almost all of them. Probably 95% of this is still original. And you saw it starts right up. It starts right up. And you saw it starts right up and purrs like a kitten. And I can't believe the transmission works. Only because I strick now the little metal piece. It was all bent up and I cut the spring a little bit to make the ball fit a little better. That was it, that's all I did. I obviously cleaned it and used RTV to seal it up. All right guys, as always. Subscribe, subscribe, subscribe. Comment, like, dislike. Soon.
