3235 hydrostat
 
Has anyone torn into the differential unit on their 3200 series? Just wondering what Im in for this weekend when I yank it out and split the halves apart. Also if anyone has a repair manual and wouldnt mind emailing me the teardown and assembly procedures, it would be greatly appreciated. I wont make it to the dealer to get a manual before I start teardown. Gotta keep this tractor running, it is my only mode of snow removal short of a shovel! LOL!! :bigthink:

What is wrong with it?

The other night when I finished plowin snow and was backing into my shed, it just STOPPED. Then when I went forward made this odd scraping sound. Sounds kinda like a maybe a ring gear bolt backed out or something along those lines. After I moved it forward for a little bit, then it seemed fine. But Im not gonna take a chance!

I have had a couple apart and have some used parts avail. they are not real fun to work on.is yours the cast iron rear or aluminum?

Mine is cast iron. I work as a mechanic, it cant be any worse than some of the cars I work on. I already know the rear fenders and the fuel tank have to come out to get the thing out of the frame. And the axle nuts have to come off the split the case apart.

Tore the trans out of the 3235 yesterday morning, and tore it apart. I found all 4 differential bolts loose!! They were backed out about a 1/2" and rubbing the drive gear. The gear survived, but 3 of the bolts didnt have any head left and 1 was bent. I couldnt believe there was no lock washers or thread locker on these bolts!!!!! Well, they do NOW!!!! All back together and running like new again!!! This trans was VERY simple to tear apart, even without a service manual.:biggrin2::biggrin2:

Would you have a better set of photos of the plow setup on your 3235?

It looks completely different than the one I have on my 3235
