Hi, I just bought a Rover ranger with all sorts of weird mods, drive chains and Auto drive drowning in grease, installed wrong so the forward drive slipped, due to the 2 flanges around the bearing near the cog being placed on each side of the bracket .
Also the outer plate on the forward side is sloppy and wobbles, the nut is on tight and hasn't budged so I am inclined to proceed with what follows pending advice.
Was able to get a Rancher wreck to replace the auto drive plates, and the deck. Upon inspection the cork from the Rancher wreck is bonded to the 2 inside cones, not cork on the outer plate on one side and the cork on the inner cone on the other side.
Will this make any difference to the transmission of power to the axle.
Picture supplied of the transmission from the Ranger manual.
