[Farmall] Super C Transmission work

[farmallgray at aol.com]

I haven't done much with the C family but if it gets louder in the higher gears it sounds like a bad bearing on  whichever shaft the differential pinion is on. That one would spin faster in the higher gears. Usually a howling noise indicates a bad bearing. Hope this helps.

Bob,
They built alot of these so I wasn't as worried about parts
availability, more just knowing which ones I needed and how far I needed
to go to clean it up ;)
