I just found a 901 side shift w/ short gears and quaffe !!!
It was sitting in the basement of a house that burnt. When I opened it the inside is coated with gear lube and looks fine. The plastic covers are cracked but not melted. But the outside of the case is covered with white corrosion. Just on the surface. (not deep like some of the mag wheels I've had) So how to clean ? I have a bag of walnut shells ..... |

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/popcorn[1].gif) ...Just read your post, and do not want to rain on your parade., BUT you may want to consider that the case is /has been warped in the fire from excessive HEAT. consider finding a replacement case, and swap over the internals. ...If it got hot enough to oxidize (white powder) the case the rubber seals are probably fried and melted/distorted. you will probably need to disassemble it for this reason anyway. oil in the side plate bearings could be cooked , I should think that disassembly and inspection and cleaning is necessary. ensuring that you save the special gearing and QUAFE is worth the effort. IMO. Based on the assumptions of some people I quess cylinder heads do not warp, until they catch on fire, and logically neighter will a transmission.
