This week I was finally able to assemble my Eaton fuller RT-910 transmission. This transmission wasn't to hard to get parts for, but since it is out of a truck from 1966 it did take about a week and a half to get the input shaft and bearing spacer.
The input shaft goes in first and then a snap ring followed by the bearing spacer
to install this input shaft the top cover must be removed and the transmission locked into two gears to stop it from spinning. To install the input shaft bearing you want to hold the main drive gear against the front of the transmission case, I used a piece of wood wedged in to hold the gear from moving. Then the bearing can be installed on the input shaft.
Bearing installed
then a nut is threaded onto the input shaft, the nut also has left hand threads and gets torqued to 250 Ft lbs. I used red locktite on the threads and a gland nut wrench to tighten the nut. Then the nut gets penned on two spots onto the input shaft.
bearing cover installed with new gasket, clutch housing installed with new gasket, cross shafts installed
This week = 66
