Title: 80 VSW main gears
Post by: Rwade27 on June 05, 2014, 11:23:23 PM
I have a question about the main gears in this International 80VSW. Does anyone know how to separate the hi and low speed gear? The schematic shows what looks like a snap retaining ring. I cannot see it in there. Thanks.

Thanks. Got it. I thought it had to just pry apart like that. Just did not want to break anything.
