Need help with AC916 BGB

[bdbraun]

I just finished researching forum archives for info on bevel gearboxes. I have at least one half inch play and chattering at lower RPM's without load. I want to rebuild now before a major breakdown. Does anyone have an exploded view of the 916 BGB and/or written instructions on assembly/disassembly. This is a great site!!! Thanks in advance for your advise and info. (916 was my Dads. I own it now after more than 10 years of neglect by a hired hand. A GREAT tractor).^

John, Thanks for the info. I was able to find the parts list and view...These will really help. Unfortunately, there wasn't a repair manual available. I'm going to forge ahead and fix the thing anyway. (no choice! The grass will wait for no man.) Thanks again, Brad

Maynard, Thanks eversomuch for the info. I was able to find the repair manual for the 916 with no trouble. My telephone wire only lets me download at 36 bps so I was timing out before I could get the manual. Therefore, I downloaded the whole thing to my hard drive. I'm glad I did. I've already refered back to different parts of the manual several times. Rebuilding the BGB will not be a problem now, thanks to you. 'Kinda like Christmas in May. What a great club!!!Thanks again, Brad
