LT230 Rebuild
I’ve got horrible backlash in my drive train. It’s not the driveshafts, and although the rear diff makes more noise than the front, I’m not convinced that it’s the diffs either. A year or 2 ago I bought a spare 42D LT230 for 1 or 2 hundred with the idea of rebuilding it when mine packed it in. I also ‘found’ a rebuild kit from someone on Facebook. So, with the LT230 overhaul manual on my workbench, theoretically I’m ready to go.
Here’s today’s progress. I have a predominately woodworking workshop, so my 75mm thick hardwood workbench needs some protection thanks to the kids old pink curtains.
I’ve successfully removed the intermediate shaft and the pto cover. I’ve bought an Ashcrofts ATB centre diff unit and a high capacity sump for this rebuild.
I’ll post regular updates so feel free to speak up if you see me doing something not smart.
For those with with extra good eyes, the gear I’m using as a paperweight came from my Thomas Crank Handle/Electric Winch rebuild.
