What I do at work

[fhhhstix]

Here are some pics of an IT38G that I am working on at work. During a rent for snow removal it lost most of the gears it only had 2ND gear For and Rev when it came back. After some testing and pulling the trans filter off I found a lot of brass in the filter, without even having to cut it open so it was time to pull the transmission. Here are a couple of pic's.

And the construction guys on here complain about having to dismantle there equipment to work on it well at least the models fit on a bench and you don't need a crane to take it apart.:D

Thanks for looking.

I would rather work on the 325C than the IT38.:D

Hey Travis, did they wipe out the torque converter too? I'm guessing they didn't come to a complete stop, before mashing reverse!

No the converter still works but will be rebuilt anyway while we have it apart. I wouldn't try it but te computer is not supposed to let you shift from for to rev without meeting the min output speed requirement. Theoretically from high speed for to rev it should revert to neutral and have to come to a stop and recycle the directional lever before it goes back into gear.

Ok, didn't know the tranny has a brain.
I understand Cat skidsteer's really well. Not so much on the bigger stuff.
Thank's for sharing, Neil#2 aka doodlebug.

Well we opened the converter and found that it was the source of our contamination 2 bolts came out and ground up inside of it but it was still working. The parts to fix the converter are only $2000 compared to a new one for $6000. Here are some pics of the trans disassembled.
