Recently disassembled said machine for painting and service. Removed rear end and drained oil, refilled, painted and reinstalled. No problems with rear-end prior to this whole operation. Upon installation and test, things locked up, no reverse (makes a grinding clicking noise). Other gears work, but still a grinding clicking noise and I can see the shaft from the belt drive pulley moving around quite a bit.
Before I tear this thing apart, any ideas what could have happened? I have a lot of experience taking things apart, and I've never seen anything like this happen.
Anyone ever take one of these things apart? Anything I should be aware of (like things flying apart)? Didn't find any other ng to post this on so hopefully this is the right one..
TIA Mike
