Cleaning / Converting grease filled Spicer Transmission to oil filled - Part III

[@4speed3pedals]

So you cleaned and reassemble. Where is the part where the oil is installed? How about the oil leaking out of the axles? What about the upper 2 bearings for the input shaft getting lubrication? I searched for "part IV" and did not find it.

He probably realized it wouldn’t work and didn’t upload the video

​@jiffry58 yep. Probably has the same puddle in my garage that I do.

[@stevevideo6035]

I kept grease but add grease zerk especially by rear axle. That was dry, started make noise. To assembly spider gear I mark female across then male across on axle. To match up.

[@gearheadgregwi]

Same. How the heck do you keep oil from seeping out without axle seals?

[@yadinganon5037]

How often I actually need to service this gearbox? I have one that was standing for ten years and I know that the original grease from 1992 is in their...and i don’t know if I need to service it...

[@thadrichardson5904]

Lining up those spider gears would probably go easier with a helping hand. Good vid!

[@kproductions8139]

I hear you on that. Sometimes it proves more difficult to find the helping hand than to continuously try to line up the gears!

[@littlebearish]

What type of oil did you put in it?

[@markwarren7116]

That transmission don't take oil...It is packed with grease.

Hi! somebody know how to fill (grease) without disassemble? it´s possible? Thanks....

[@jaceb7136]

Not possible, I wanted to do that too but there is no fill plug/hole, or drain plug/hole, sorry

[@Texaca]

@@jaceb7136 ...you can always create a fill hole/plug with a tap and die set, and a drill 🤔 you just have to disassembled the unit, to figure out where's the best location 👍

[@zesthraxGaming]

Get a peerless, They have removable rubber plugs. or fill through detent ball hole.

What did this trans go in racing mower mudding mower mower to mow the yard and what weight oil did u put in

[@markwarren7116]

This transmission don't take oil. Its packed with grease.

[@leonjohansson8469]

Mark Warren People use transmission oil instead of grease when spinning them faster than stock.

[@firestick8075]

@@leonjohansson8469 I used 90 weight gear oil and it's leaking out. I'm thinking about taking it apart, cleaning everything and re-greasing it. there are no seals to prevent the oil from leaking out. Now i see why they grease everything :)

[@dragonsaxaphone7855]

@@firestick8075 did you use silicone to seal your trans ?

[@zesthraxGaming]

People who use this mod are usually those who race seasonally and only need their transmission to last that season. Those people race stock mowers with rules on mods. They can only use mower transmissions and fill them half way with gear oil to make last longer and add a grease fitting on the input shaft in between the two needle bearings to accommodate for the extra speed that comes from a higher ratio pulley/belt drive. They still don’t last long even with these mods.. long enough for a season of racing at least.

Where the rest, after part 3

[@felix9314]

Bro u fucked up this ... This spicer tans do not take oil it will leak and theres no space between the spider gear conpartement and the other gear so the oil will be dry in the area in maybe 1 or 2 run .. maybe if the container was made of One big pan instead of 3 diffrerent. area whit a good seal maybe it would work for a season but be sure to open and fill this spicer gear each year whit new oil and watch every leak posible ..
