Hi All
Bob, I can't afford $105 per hour rate that's why I work so fast. Plus over the years I've worked out a couple of tricks for removing and installing the transmission. Biggest trick is this one a slide rail that goes between the windshield frame member to the back of the cab with a chain fall to lower and raise the transmission. (Picture shows it in use on the HUP) This same slide rail is also useful when installing the engine and transmission to support the rear of engine as you slide it in.
I'm starting my parts hunt today so Ill let you know how I make out.
The picture below is one that the guys in the club took of the process of pumping 3 quarts of lube back into the transmission, it takes 175 pumps per quart. Yes, I get kidded about the surplus Red Cross lab coat and rubber gloves.
