Bonaro Posted April 23, 2006 Posted April 23, 2006 I was pushing dirt with my AC B-212 yesterday and it got noisy and finally stopped moving. I haven't taken anything apart yet (tractor is still out in the field) but I am 90% sure I rounded off the bevel gears. I have several questions. What AC or Simplicity models will have a compatible gear box? Are the gears available new? Does anyone have a BGB they will part with? This has been a great tractor for me and I would hate to junk it but parts are scarce in Washington State.:( Any help is appreciated
RayS Posted April 24, 2006 Posted April 24, 2006 [url]http://www.jackssmallengines.com/searchdb.cfm[/url] All the parts are available new and that is the best way to go. You can find them used but your taking a chance on keyways being worn. I have put used gears in a couple of mine without problems though. If yours has ground the teeth off of yours you more than likely need a case, because the input shaft more than likely has wallered out the seat that the bearing sits in.
johnmonkey Posted April 24, 2006 Posted April 24, 2006 Look in the classified ads, here on site. There was a few posted within the last few months. DLCentral was one, he is out of Montgomery, NY. jh
firefoxz1 Posted April 24, 2006 Posted April 24, 2006 This one may or may not work for you but it is on e-bay right now. http://cgi.ebay.com/Simplicity-Landlord-Transmission_W0QQitemZ7761600687QQcategoryZ82242QQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem
RayS Posted April 24, 2006 Posted April 24, 2006 If you have a B 212, you need one for a variable speed. The one in the link above is for a standard 3 speed.
Bonaro Posted April 24, 2006 Author Posted April 24, 2006 What's the difference between the 3 speed and the Variable speed? Can I swap out the output shafts and make it work?
RayS Posted April 24, 2006 Posted April 24, 2006 The difference is 2 inches. The pulley halves move in and out to speed up or slow down. You can put your output shaft in the one on ebay as long as your keyways are good and the other parts are good in the one on ebay. I would take caution buying a 40 year old BGB but it may be ok.
