What's you'r opinon on transmission,pinion and differential gears that have stood quite a while and are rusty and pitted? Will they work, will they make noise, will they break ???? Are they worth taking the time to install in a tranny overhaul???

In a vintage tractor I would run them. As the gears are only pitted the contact areas are still in spec. The pits will just hold more lubricant and most likely the tractor has straight cut gears and will have some noise regardless. Good luck

Bronco: I agree with Paul Fox.. In the 50's I would replace gears in standard auto trannys with used gears from my uncles junkyard and the biggest problem was proper shimming\alignmant etc and not if the gears had pitting\rust.. I missed one little shim once and I had several hours of remove and replace because of that missing shim but never because of some pitting\rust.. Take a look at a manual for proper installation as that can also make a diff in amount of noise\whine..best of luck..harvey

Never done this, so this is opinion speaking rather than experience.

I would think that as long as the bearing surfaces of the teeth are in reasonably good shape, AND the tractor will not see continuous or frequent heavy use, it would be worth a shot.

I'm assuming the tooth faces are hardened, and rust/pitting will affect the rate of wear on the facing.

On my old F14, which will very likely never again see enough work to get the temperature gauge over 160, I'd go ahead. If it were on a later model that I was planning on hauling a plow or a field cultivator with, I probably wouldn't.
