Canadian ACME trans toast!

Good Job!

I had some time yesterday to dig out the engine and re-prepping for re-assembly. It finally warmed up enough to leave the garage door open so I could move stuff out. I had some questions about the chains. Those chains were in my M37 Canadian when I purchased it. I would love to find another set for the front! I believe they were made in Norway and I will get some close ups of them. Maybe some Canadian guys can put us on the trail for some more. The chewed up metal piece is what went through my original ACME. This piece is not found in the acme and is a slide rail keeper from a NP420. All I can figure out is someone tried to put the top of a 420 on this trans at one time not knowing they were different and it fell out? Its a mystery to me how it got in my old trans but it sure did some damage.

Some more bumps in the road but no biggie. Throw out bearing sleeve warn uneven from a tweaked clutch fork, output flange took a bump somewhere along it's life and original pulley kind of tweaked also. The pressure plate and clutch are just some M37 **** for ya. Ok now for some questions. Is the clutch fork the same between the Canadian and Us versions? Anybody have one of these pulleys? Measures 8.5 inches and different than the 230 pulleys. Anybody have the part numbers for the throwout bearing and slide bushing? My Carquest guy is looking right now but wondered if someone can save him some time. Its the 1 3/4 ID and I think it's the same as the later civi Flatfenders that had the 251 flathead with 11'' clutch and 1 3/8, 10 spline input shaft?? The clutch and pressure plate cross referenced to a Massey Ferguson tractor.Also, what's the preload torc spec for that output flange?

AB Linn might have some info or parts for you.

I have purchased allot of parts from AB Linn over the years.. He rarely has Canadian parts.. But maybe...

Fork is the same. I think I saved my old throwout bearing, I'll try to find it and see if it has any numbers on it.

Where did you get a new one?

I see Vintage Power Wagon has them listed but I have not called to see if they have them in stock. I would think Carquest could get them somehow.. Still no word from my guy, he was going to dig out the book and look under civi flatfenders with the 251 engine.

I could be wrong but I think the same one fits both models. I looked in an old vpw catalog from 2005 and it said same for all models. I just put a new bearing on my old sleeve. And I do believe that I got it from VPW. Anyway a new bearing I have says Aetna 2256. And I couldn't find the old one but still will look for it.

bearing

Found it. The original is the one on the left in the second picture. Same as the new one for the M43. The old bearing from the cdn reads Aetna A-893-14

Really the same as the 1'' shaft U.S. trans? I guess I figured they would be different! If that is the case I might have a new one buried around here somewhere. Hmmmm.. I shall go look! Thanks Zak..
