Hello All, I picked up a cheap older Lull 844-TT42 that is in overall great condition...but the transmission is blown up. A bearing let loose inside and chewed up a few hard parts. It looks like parts are available for rebuild and I wouldn't be afraid to do it, but it will be a bit expensive. If possible I'd like to find a good used transmission to pop in there instead.
My transmission is a Funk, Spec. # 7711. This machine must be pre- 86 since it doesn't show up on the serial number charts. What I'm wondering is if it would be that hard to put a Funk 4023 or 1724 in this machine since they used those in later machines. I'm not sure on the technical differences in gear ratio etc. but as long as the case is similar and it can handle the proper HP it seems like it should be feasible. It seems like a driveshaft modification might be the worst outcome.
My machine doesn't have the original Waukesha motor, it's been upgraded to Deere 4045DF-150.
Any ideas from everyone here? Am I nuts, or should I just bite the bullet and rebuild the transmission I already have?
