Recently disassembled said machine for painting and service. Removed rear
end and drained oil, refilled, painted and reinstalled. No problems with
rear-end prior to this whole operation. Upon installation and test, things
locked up, no reverse (makes a grinding clicking noise). Other gears work,
but still a grinding clicking noise and I can see the shaft from the belt
drive pulley moving around quite a bit.

Before I tear this thing apart, any ideas what could have happened? I have
a
lot of experience taking things apart, and I've never seen anything like
this happen.

Anyone ever take one of these things apart? Anything I should be aware of
(like things flying apart)? Didn't find any other ng to post this on so
hopefully this is the right one..

TIA
Mike


I've got a JD 110 about that vintage but everything is still intack - never
been apart. Is here a linkage under there or does the shift lever go
directly in to the unit ? Or do you think something inside got dislodged
when you tipped it upside down ?
