Thread: Chops' 88" Wide Light

All good,,, it is in actual fact a Toro,,, too easy

Marcus, here is a replacement Fairey coupling gear/sleeve.
There is not a brand name or anything stamped or cast into the overdrive body to help identify it.
Confusing.

Coupling Sleeve Overhaul Kit Fairey Overdrive | Online Gearbox Parts Shop

The pic below is the coupling gear/sleeve out of your overdrive and the other one I had.
21 teeth I think it is and the Fairey has more.

Cheers, Mick.

Thanks Mick,
I've got bigger problems though. It seems the teeth that interlock that gear are buggered. I'll have to attempt to source one, or have one made.

At this point, I now have two options for the long drive ahead. Either swap the diff out and not use 4x4, or look at getting the trans box re-geared,, (preferable).

I'll weigh up my options.

21 Teeth on the unit I have Mick.

Hmm,, Ok, due to time restraints, I've decided I'll leave her gearing as is for the moment. The biggest problem I face at this point is time taken to travel,,, something quite frankly, I'm not really worried about. It'll just give me a bit more time to sight see along the way ,,, and as an added bonus, it means Leeanne who will be following me with the D4+ 21' van can feel a bit easier on the drive.

So tonight when I got home, I started getting the springs ready for fitment. Making sure all the tools are ready etc. Finding stuff in my shed at the moment is well,,, and then there's the room needed,,, it's a bit tight, but we'll manage.

Might have a look at the uni's along the way too,, would hate to get part way and have them fail. Will also do a total fluids change as well. Ohhh, got to fit up the UHF too,,, no doubt my ear will be chewed off along the way.

Thanks, mate.
I'll start moving the fleet over after Cooma.

How deep are the bays? I need to work out which order to move them in.

have been following your Cooma preparations with some interest as I'm making the same journey
initially I was going to drag Jade there on a trailer but you got me thinking, googling home to Cooma throws up a distance of just under 150 miles..........assuming an average speed of 40-45mph as she's a bit old and don't want to push things, gives a travel time allowing for stops of about 4hrs, I'm starting to think driving there could be a bit of an adventure, will need to sort roof perhaps as weather is an unknown.
Have clocked up 200miles since rebuild so I'm confident of cars ability, but am a little bit concerned as to what effect I'm going to have on Easter holiday lunatic drivers cruising so slowly.......worst part will be Princes HWY to Cann River.....thinking Monaro will be fairly quiet
Hmmmmm ya got me thinking

Cheers Paul
