broken oiler gear

tcouch · Oct 14, 2008

took my super a to a farmer that works on them because it was mking a clankin noise when moving.found the oiler gear that runs off the reverse gear was missing about 3 inches of teeth. he said his farmals dont have that gear and he doesnt no what its purpose is when all the lower gears kick up oil. so my question is can this toothless gear cause damage cause its about 800 to fix.

I have a C and two Super C's. The C is the only one that still has a complete and functioning oiler gear. The gear is made of aluminum, so the loose pieces won't do any harm. The only time you really need it, is if you are doing PTO or belt work with the tractor sitting still. When the tractor runs in neutral the lower shaft and gears don't turn, and the oiler gear is the only thing that can splash oil up to lubricate the top shaft bearings and run back to the PTO housing.

thanks harold that helps my wallet out a lot! I do use a belly mower but nothing at a stand still.

My theory on why all the oiler gears have their teeth stiped is because if there is any water in the transmission (which there usually is) and it freezes in the winter those aluminum gear teeth will easily strip out when you start the tractor. Once some teeth are striped out, eventually they will all strip out. Roger
