2 speed rearend

[sotc]

My older bucket broke the drivers side axle. I got both axles out but can't seem to get the carrier out. The truck is an F700 and an Rockwell RS 15-210. I seem to be hanging up around the 2 speed fork and can only get it 2-3 inches from its seat. Any help would be appreciated.

i found an exploded view with notes on page 149 of This Pdf

Is that broken off axle end still in the carrier?

Broomstick or rod to poke it out and have it drop into rear end housing?

 

[FireFighterZero]

I thought the same thing Merle.

 

[sotc]

It is not, I can see clear through. I'll check that pdf in the a.m., thanks!

Willie, sometimes a rear end has to be shifted into low range to clear the housing. I looked it up and it seems your rear end is one that needs shifted.

I assume yours is electric? Might be a trick to get it to shift properly with out the axles installed, not sure if the planetary with move by simply turning the pinion. You may have to re install the good shaft to get the sun gear to move into position.

Good Sir FireFighterZero, that really sounds promising.

sotc, that pdf is 337 pages and the page you want is on 149.....
it's big but i always love having an exploded view.

That's what I wondered, I tried shifting it both ways. Yes, electric.

Me too, just don't want to open it on my phone

 

[FireFighterZero]

The shifter may not move all the way with out turning the planetary.

Did you get the stub axle out, or is it in the housing yet? Might be gumming up the works if clearance is at a permium.

I have had to "walk" a rear end out before or had to turn the pinion.

I would slap the good axle back in and try to shift it.

Thanks for the leg work Rocker! What's your name? Love the blow up.

 

[r0ck1r0ck2]

ah
name's Joshua.

and you're very welcome.
i do love this kind of shit.

all for the greater glory of Science!

 

[sotc]

Thanks Joshua, nice to "meet"ya

 

[flushcut]

Chunk of shrapnel form the axle shaft jamming up things? Maybe

 

[sotc]

There's lots of shrapnel in there but I don't think that's the prob. Going to crawl back under there this afternoon. Waiting till the temp gets over a hundred

 

[sotc]

Well poopy.

 

[treebilly]

Am I seeing the axle housing cracked? Looks like a mess I'm sure I will learn about someday

 

[sotc]

I don't think so, didn't even look. Just got her spun into low and pulled out. Looked over the carrier ave came back in to get ready for church.
The broken part I think is number 50 on the blow up. Thrust washer-side gear

 

[FireFighterZero]

What did you have to do to get it into low?

Sometimes its cheaper to get a whole third member out of a salvage shop.

 

[sotc]

I had to bolt it back up slip the axle in, turned the key on, shifted to low and crawled back under to plug it in so I could hear the shift while turning the pinion.

Willie, you do some crazy stuff before church.

Thanks for the updates...interested in seeing how this plays out. I know zilch about rear ends...planetary gears, sun gears...a different world for me.

Oh yeah? I will have to remember that little trick....

(See post 6...cough, cough.....)

"Tricky" stuff, these astronomical gadgets.

Subtle humility brings a smile, FFZ.

So busy these days I gotta work on stuff in spare moments

And I acknowledged it in post 8, just finally had a chance to do it

 

[FireFighterZero]

I know. Its just that I am of such little real usefullness to a treeman, got to crow once in a while!

Nothing more important to a tree man than getting down equip back up...and laughing once in a while through it all.
