How much play?

With the tractor (Super H) split, I was standing in front of the tranmission and while standing there I started putting the transmission in different gears. I noticed that in reverse, there was very little movement, but when you work the input shaft, going through different gears, the play increases to where you can move the input yolk several inches in each direction. Is this normal??

Man there is a lot of gunk down in there!! Top is comming off and in will go the Kerosene soak.


Thanks in advance,, Gene

Reverse should have the most play since one more set of gears are meshed compared to 1 through 4 if all have the same mesh clearance when new. Maybe that reverse has less wear than the others in a 50 plus year old tractor. But then agian when its in reverse the reverse idler is meshed with second drive gear and first and reverse sliding gear that would have wear and reverse idler and second drive stays meshed at all times. Guess I dont have a good answer as to why unless when you turn the input back and forth in reverse you just turn as far as reverse idler and feel more resistance and are stoping when idler starts to turn top transmission shaft.

Each gear has a certain amount of running clearance. In fifth, the only gears in the drice train are the ring and pinion, the differential spider and side gears, and the pinion and bull gears. (fifth is direct through the tranny) As each lower gear is engaged, the additional running clearance of that gear set, and the constant mesh gear set are added to the path. As each gear has about the same clearance, the total remains about the same. But each lower gear has more rotation to move the parts through the same clearance so the total backlash (whrat it is called) seems to grow as you place it in lower gears. Not a problem, I hope this helps. JimN
