When done and dried down, I found this unknown part lying on the bottom of the transmission case. It was located on the front bottom of the case, close to the first reduction gear. Does anyone know what it is? I am glad that I found it and looks like it was kind of beat up by the gears. The tractor did shift and function OK. [Reply]   [No Email]

I didn't know El Camino's came with an SS version. What engine was in it originally? Maybe you should start another thread. Gerard [Reply]  [No Email]

No logical way it should ever end up in the bottom of a transmission. [Reply]  [No Email]

No, he found the pencil in the gas tank when the PO tried to see how much gas was in it. :lol: I cannot identify it off hand, but more than likely an old starter bendix part. When they let loose, the parts are often just left in the bell housing. [Reply]  [No Email]
