John Deere 455 Project Part 2: Axle Swap

Just giving an update on this on-going project. This was the major work, now re-install and hopefully the wheels will be back soon. The cases are the same on each transmission. All the differences are in the axles.

So you are doing a complete restore? I have a 455 I got free that I an bringing back to life. Doing an engine service and trans fluid change by the end of this week and putting it to work. Still not sure if I'm going to back to original this winter or go gearhead rat rod with it (Gauges everywhere, oil press/temp, trans press/temp, engine temp, Maybe even egt) Min is pretty rough but the engine and trans sounds nice.
