Simplicity85 Posted February 14, 2009 Posted February 14, 2009 Looks good!!!dOd Thank God it didn't land on the B-112.
tmerideth Posted February 14, 2009 Posted February 14, 2009 Slick, that is going to be a beautiful machine when finished. The paint looks very good. What paint did you use on it?
tracktor312 Posted February 14, 2009 Posted February 14, 2009 Tractor looks great!! building not so much! that stinks Insured? hope so is that a morton building?
Zach Posted February 15, 2009 Posted February 15, 2009 Did all the B-112s have that long shifter lever? looks great so far^ keep up the good work.
bigtenboy65 Posted February 15, 2009 Posted February 15, 2009 thats a cool looking shifter, nice progress, best of luck with the shed
slick103 Posted February 15, 2009 Author Posted February 15, 2009 tmerideth- I used rattle can rustolem sun bust yellow over gray primer. tracktor312- Yep had it added to my home owners. Local contractor put it up. Could have been a lot worse had both my bikes,tractors and wife's new car in it at the time. The long shifter was on it when I purchased it along with the key switch moved to the side and light switch on top.
cojo92 Posted February 16, 2009 Posted February 16, 2009 she looks great! =] and srry to hear about your shop. =[
slick103 Posted February 21, 2009 Author Posted February 21, 2009 Weather real nice here Today so I took B112 for a spin. All work fine till I shifted from 2nd to 3rd. Seems that something has came loose in the Trans shifting forks what ever came apart now can't get it into gear. The shifting rod doesn't seem to engage anything. Any one have a clue?
Roy Posted February 21, 2009 Posted February 21, 2009 Looking at the long, custom shift lever it is very possible the ball stud that selects the shift rail(s) inside the transmission has broken off. A peek inside, through the fill hole with a light, should let you see what is going on.
slick103 Posted February 21, 2009 Author Posted February 21, 2009 Your are Correct on both points Roy. Just got Transaxle apart going to need shifter stem 2154261 hope they are available.
Roy Posted February 21, 2009 Posted February 21, 2009 Glad to be helpful. Also glad I was right for once. :) Note that the replacement part has been redesigned for more strength. Would like to see a picture of your new one. While you are into the transmission check the keys the gears slide on, the shift rails, and the ball detents. Someone added the long shift lever for a reason. My 3212V likes to stick in second gear. I'm afraid to force it else my shift stem (ball stud) will break like yours did. The one in my B-1 broke years ago which is why I suspected that was your problem. Somewhere between a B-1 and a 3212V Simplicity made the shift lever longer by using a long cylindrical shifter knob instead of a ball. I suspect it was related to easier shifting and/or increased ball detent strength/pressure. Maybe someone can fill us in on the reason for the change.
slick103 Posted February 21, 2009 Author Posted February 21, 2009 Roy yes post a pic and did the part # change. Are these easy to find? Thx
Roy Posted February 21, 2009 Posted February 21, 2009 Think the new part number is 2172779. But, check with your Simplicity dealer or one of our sponsors to confirm. Link to Sandy Lake Implement (SLI) is: "http://www.sandylakeimp.com/" Other sponsors are at "http://www.simpletractors.com/default.htm" Haven't bought one in a long time but think they are still available.
slick103 Posted February 25, 2009 Author Posted February 25, 2009 Here is pic of new style stem. Sandy Lake had 1, super people to deal with and fast shipping(ordered Mon got it Today). I can't find a thing wrong with the trans going to install new stem and seals time will tell. Got home early Today going to try and get it back together this afternoon if the wife will agree LOLsm00
Roy Posted February 25, 2009 Posted February 25, 2009 Yes, that looks like the one I put in my B-1. Thanks for the picture.
slick103 Posted March 8, 2009 Author Posted March 8, 2009 :Owell I seemed to have messed the whole thread up posting updated pics sorry!
slick103 Posted March 8, 2009 Author Posted March 8, 2009 Well I finally got the tranny fixed. Had to use some 220 paper on the speed gear shaft shifts Ok now. Spend a lot of time on the seat placement (I am 6'2") used a JD seat hinge works for me LOL. Worked the B all day SAT. cleaning up the tree that was on my shop all was good.
Simplicity85 Posted March 8, 2009 Posted March 8, 2009 Is that a stock shifter?I want one for my 3318V.
B-16_IC Posted March 8, 2009 Posted March 8, 2009 quote:Originally posted by slick103 :Owell I seemed to have messed the whole thread up posting updated pics sorry! Probably used the same name for the pics, therefore the new replaced the old everywhere.
