Bruce in Utah 06-08-2012 16:22:08 64.77.246.68 Report to Moderator	Hi Folks I have 8N and also a Transmix Mixer (Carlson made). The mixer appears to be in perfect condition with the exception of the tire (although it is still very useable) which my local garage says is easily replaced. I am writing hoping for some advice on how to adjust and use the the mixer. We have it on the tractor just fine and everything seems to be working ok, except we don"t know how to use it. Things like how much of a angle in the drive knuckle can be tolerated and how to properly get the tire in contact with the driver. In essence, we just need a little help in how to adjust and use this thing Is anyone available at all to talk or email? I would be happy to email photos or whatever. I live in Fountain Green, Utah. I mention that because "Jim" in Utah seemed to know a lot about this on older posts in older forums, Thanks in advance. Bruce. [Reply]   [No Email]

I"ve looked at your photos. You have the "newer" version of the transmix. The early version was made by Universal Pulley Co in Wichita KS. Carlson Co was also located in Wichita. I don"t know if the company name change was due to an acquisition, merger or just a simple name change, but I do know that the Transmix design changed quite a bit. I do have a newer version of the mixer like yours, but have never put it back into operation so I know very little about how to make it work. I"m more of an "expert" on the early version. After you get yours figured out, I"ll probably be looking to you for advice. As for how much angle the driveline can tolerate, I"m afraid prudence will have to guide. Old literature on these things is very hard to find. I do know from what little paperwork I"ve been able to find that your later version of the Transmix is supposed to be a universal 3 point unit, able to be used on any tractor with a 3 point hitch. The early version was tractor-specific. You had to tell the dealer which tractor you were using when you bought the unit and when you ordered replacement parts because the size and dimensions of some of the mounting hardware differed based on the tractor the unit was mounted on. I have a series of photos that show installation of my Transmix on my Ford 850, but they would be of little use for your later version. The only parts that are common to both early and late versions are the drum and the roller cradle it rests in. Sorry I couldn"t be more help.   [Reply]  [No Email]

Just type in Transmix in the Search and you will be directed to the photos.   [Reply]  [No Email]
