Wisconsin V465d Ring Gear Replacement and some Manure Hauling

For the past couple years, it's been a game of 'will the starter catch?' We found a ring gear and it turned out to be a less scary repair than I thought. We now have a 2-1/4 inch socket collecting dust until the next time the skid steer needs a ring gear. That was one big nut!
Who like likes to see the TW25 in action? you'll love the next video.

Jacob the TW was an excellent investment.

block under the flywheel to prop it up, acetylene torch running in circles around the flywheel it will just drop off, or you can do it the opposite way and when heated enough with welding gloves you can just pull it off. keeps you from marring any surfaces and makes quick work of changing out a ring gear. what you did is also fine just longer.

I do like the TW

Allways fun spreading manure. Have a great day.

I had to change the ring gear on my truck last year, same process. Although old that skid steer can still get the job done!

[@l337pwnage]

Never had to change one, but when I did the clutch in my Jeep, I flipped it around since I had it apart.

Great repair and TW action

[@prjndigo]

Ring gears on fan flywheels are strangely easy to heat off due to their manufacture of being rolled out to their diameter making them act like an extruded metal combined with the flywheel being highly self-cooling. I agree with using the hammer chisel method tho, almost as easy and a fair bit less hazardous. We had one simply fall off a flywheel when we put the thing on a stepped mandril, which was fun.

Did it go ring ding ding ding when it broke 😂

You sound like you've got a cold. Get better

[@Military-Museum-LP]

I’ve never been a big fan of the Wisconsin engines. Their poor engineering and design are so evident

[@waynejones5239]

I have had both good and bad with them

[@OldFarmAcresJoelK.]

I agree. Had a 630 Bobcat with wisconsin engine in it. Pain in the ass.

[@Military-Museum-LP]

@@OldFarmAcresJoelK.I remember allot of skid steers used these motors. We had an IH and it was so underpowered with this motor.

[@l337pwnage]

I didn't know they used them in skid steers. Ours had a Ford I4.

[@Military-Museum-LP]

@@l337pwnage. The very first skid steers had these engines. The first skid steer I operated that actually worked was the Melroe Bobcat. It had a Wisconsin and centrifugal double clutch (snowmobile type) drive. The IH we had was poorly designed. The distance between the two axles was to much so it took more power to make it turn. Seems like yesterday but it wasn’t.
