[AJD] 530 Reassembly Questions

[Kenneth Jones]

John
 
      Thanks for your assistance.  I did set the end play per specifications but the gear doesn't seem to turn independently.  Looks like I am going to need to take that shaft out and determine wher the problem exists..Have been using the 60, 720 and the I & T 530 service manual but will dig out my B manual for further reference points..
 
Thanks so much

use your assistance:

Should the counter shaft idler gear be able to turn independently of the 
remainder of the gears on the counter shaft? I have installed the counter 
shaft and the sliding gear shaft but no where in my reference materials do I find 
that the double idler gear should turn independently of the other gears on 
that shaft once the nut on the left side of the shaft is tightened.

Kenneth,

I hope you have gotten some good advice directly, and not via the list. But, 
in case you hadn't, my initial reply is that yes, that the B 3607R idler gear 
does run independent of the other gears on the shaft. Are you sure the 
bearing has been pressed on far enough? Also, I don't know how much it would 
affect what you are seeing, but there is a critical end play adjustment with spaces 
on the right side. I have found the SM 2004 service manual for the styled 
"B" tractors to be helpful for many of the Waterloo tractors. It has a lot more 
detail than the later service manuals. If you are still stuck, and I can 
help, let me know.
