I started working on the golf course when I was 13. My grandfather was a superintendent at the local country club from 1939 to 1955. I moved from maintenance at the local public course to the country club in 1976 working for the guy who had replaced my grandfather in 1955. They still had two 1954 Locke mowers that my dad had run when he got back from Korea in 1955. I loved walking a Locke. Everyone else who worked there would always take the caster wheel off the back and put the sulky on. But you had so much more control with the caster wheel on the back. We had one set up high to cut places where the rough mowers wouldn't fit and the other was set up to cut approaches and the areas around the greens and traps around the green. The great thing about the caster wheel was you could walk the Locke down a finger of grass that protruded into a sand trap and you could turn that Locke right back on itself and cut your way right back out. With the sulky the best you could do was try and "nose" your way down there with the front reel several times. When you got done, you had a higher traveling gear so you could get to your next set of greens and traps. I loved being out there by myself and walking behind that Locke. Fond memories.

One thing I commend you on that I could find no where else online or in repair manuals is the two holes at the rear or the output. I have a 2wd and I couldn't remember before I broke down the case if those two holes get plugged or not. You are the only mechanic I found that mentioned this If it's 4x4 they get plugged, 2wd they do not.

@@kevinvincent4323 the video I saw showed a rings below the wrist pin for oil control. In the video it seemed like a little oil could purge up above those lower rings and work it's way in the air box to then flow out the drip tubes. Wrist pin caps is another possibility. I agree that either of those seem like they would promote smoke. Sounds like you are buying new oil to top-off. If you didn't know, FYI: Oil that flows through the air box will pick-up micro particles that passed through the air filters. Even if you collect the oil, it shouldn't be used in engine lubrication. The drip tubes in my engine were routed back into the oil pan. I rerouted them to open end and then realized how much oil is coming out of them....probably as much as yours.

Hello Mark - great vid. Very clear and detailed. Kudos man !! Unfortunately, getting a rebuild on my 6L90 / 165K. 2500HD this month. I tow 6000lb trailer. Planning on a billet torque convertor in the rebuild, with both transgo kits. What is your opinion on following for 6L90 rebuild work truck...... 1. 456 billet clutch hub with factory dampener setup, necessary or overkill ?? 2. 1234 billet piston, necessary or overkill ?? 3. billet pump rotor, necessary or overkill ??
@scatteredrustyprojects3 ай бұрын
Hi. I can say I haven't used any of those 3 HP parts. Yes, use a quality billet cover convertor and both TransGo kits. The next best thing you can do is reprogram TCC strategy to delay lock-up until 4th or 5th gear. Shops with HP Tuners can do that and I believe there are other DLC plug-in products available to revise lock-up strategy. If you live south of Canada we have been deleting the thermostatic bypass if it contains one. An update I should do to the video is to polish the aluminum surfaces where the seals and pistons ride. They get scratches and certain cleaning processes can leave the surface etched. This scrubs away the pistons over time and shortens trans life. Good luck!

Not sure if I missed it in your explanations, but what is the advantage of the 4R70w over an AOD?
@scatteredrustyprojects3 ай бұрын
My original plan was to install a 6R80 which uses the MOD style bell. Due to possible fitment issues and the speculation of the gear ratios may not be optimal for the application. With a larger rear gear, 1st is so low, there is programming to start in 2nd. Keeping the gear small might put an engine with a moderately sized cam to be at too low of rpm in 6th. To gain the joy of having a bigger rear gear along with cruising on the highway, a 4 speed will suit my needs and be easier to install. I feel the 4R70 has a higher torque capacity than the AOD. The other reason I chose the 4R70 is the ability to delay the TCC apply. This would prevent lugging when using a larger cam. While AOD doesn't have a clutch in the torque convertor, it does have the same feature of mechanical connection gained in a different fashion. With the AOD that happens whether you want it or not when shifting into 3rd and 4th gears via means of the Direct Shaft. This is o-k on engines with a stock cam or RV type cam. However, it can make engines with a more cam fall on their face shifting into 3rd causing regular drivability to suffer. The 6R80 will go in the 68 Colony Park which is heavier and can benefit from the really low 1st.

I use transmission parts suppliers like Transtar, VTP or WIT. The WIT kit is lacking a couple things, one of them being the bearing at the front of the 1234-35R drum. Lately, I've been using the AC Delco seal kit, buying a set of bonded pistons and replacing only clutches that need to be replaced. I haven't used the Zip Kit.....it looks like it has what you need. If you aren't changing the Techm, take a close look at the pressure switch films....they can split and leak. Watch for galling in the pump area. Two bushings important to replace are the pump bushing and input shaft/456 drum rear bushing.

The GM seal kit does not come with the bearing in the back of the drum which has an integrated seal that needs to be in good condition or replaced. It's more than a lube seal. It holds compensator feed oil which can have an affect on shifting. With that in mind, you may want to use Transtar as their kit does include that bearing. The WIT kit did not. Depending on where you are, a local transmission parts supplier may or may not include the 1234-35R drum bearing.
