Hello, I am in the process of redoing the transmission on my "40 H.The trouble is I had to get the newer style countershaft and it is just a hair too long for me to be able to get it in. According to the parts manual there was only one transmission casting so this new style shaft should fit. I could probably get it in if the shaft was 1/4 of an inch shorter. The shaft is a multispline for the pto versus the two spline older style. Any help would be great.

Well I have the external ball bearings removed. It is so close to going... I will try again tomorrow when I have light again.

I checked the gear numbers and they are identical for both sets. The extra length is right at the pto engagement end. Everything else lines up exactly the same when I have the two shafts side by side. The oil channels towards the top of the housing are what snag the constant mesh gear.The serial number is not to be found on it but according to the style PTO it had it would make it an early one. The part number on the transmission casting is the same as the in the parts book. Any help would be great...

Iff it all checks and noone says don't, Id have the shaft ground off the distance + shim thrust washer, then a groove ground for oil as the new one had.
Just my Idea, no guarantees. Accuracy and machine grinding are mandatory.

What is the serial # of your H. The real early production 1940 tractors had (I believe) castings that were the same as 1939 tractors. There may have been enough differences to cause issues.
If your new shaft is longer by .250", that is serious.
Im My opinion if you choose to try to use it determine first if the old gears fit the shaft, and/or new gears are identical in # of teeth size and offset if any.
Next determine where the length difference is located. (on one end would be optimal). If it is along the shaft, between gears, I would not use it. Position of gears is critical to their ability to transmit power, and that much missalignment is deadly.
Just my thinking, JimN
