Brighammer Posted June 15, 2019 Posted June 15, 2019 So... I just finished repowering my 4040 with a Predator 670. I'm pretty pleased with the job, actually. I noticed my left rear wheel was moving, and i discovered it was the shaft moving in the housing. So I pulled the drop box off. Looks like I need new inner and outer bearings and races for the axle stub shaft, as well as a seal. I found my Simplicity part numbers, but they come up as NLA and I have not been successful in crossing them as of yet. The parts I need are: 168058(seal) and 168060(race) and 168061(cone) Any help is appreciated!
wwbragg Posted June 15, 2019 Posted June 15, 2019 Check the description of the bearing on the 9020. Compare the measurement to your part. 1
Brighammer Posted June 16, 2019 Author Posted June 16, 2019 Got it pulled apart and crossed them at Napa. Waiting on a drop box gasket and another bearing now. Off to jack it up and check the other side...
midnightpumpkin Posted June 16, 2019 Posted June 16, 2019 For what it's worth, I have found Permatex "Right Stuff Gasket Maker" to work very well in place of the factory gaskets for gear box, oil pan, etc sealing. https://www.oreillyauto.com/detail/b/the-right-stuff-90-minute-4572/chemicals---fluids-16461/glues--adhesives---sealants-19861/gasket-makers---sealers-19581/166cc2694828/permatex-the-right-stuff-90-minute-gasket-maker/25228/6029859 John U 1

I usually use Aisin gasket maker in these places(hondabond, etc) as that's how we would seal similar places in the new Hollands I used to work on at the local dealer. I had intended to use this there, but when I found out I also needed the bearing that's pressed into the drop box for the short driveshaft at the top of the whole setup(part number 15), and a vendor had them both, I went ahead and ordered the gasket too. Luckily wheel bearings and seals are simpler to get. ;-)
Brighammer Posted June 20, 2019 Author Posted June 20, 2019 So... Messicks did not have the bearing. Cancelled my order. THOUGHT I found a good deal on a pair of mh16161 bearings. Turned out they were M16161. Which are 1 1\4 o.d. not 1 5\16. And I don't wanna wait 1 to 3 months. So. Guess what's 1 5\16 o.d. but 1 1\4 i.d.? That's right, ladies and gentlemen. The cup of an mh16161 bearing! I'll be tractoring tonight! Maybe!
jlasater Posted June 21, 2019 Posted June 21, 2019 The gasket on these final drives needs to be there or the pinion bearing will lock up because of clearance.
