Wow! give em an anvil, bet he'd destroy that too! Give em a chunk a steel and hammer out a new gear! lol
Right! Can you imagine operating the machine til reverse was brought to a halt? A good equipment operator is priceless.
I am pretty sure the transmission is shimmed for ring and pinion clearance. I am hoping he has the driveshaft.
Maybe I need to find someone who can hobb a new reverse gear. Carburizing would be needed I would think.
There is a fellow on here that lives upstate who posted a ton of manuals for sale a year or so ago. He has a collection of Old Iron that had a few Allis in it. If anyone could lead you in a parts direction, it would probably be him! Name is slipping my mind but he posted those manuals twice in big batches. Matter of fact he may have posted about a bunch of radiators being stolen for the scrap value.
that was Dandy Dave in Craryville NY
General gear in Idaho probably has the parts you need.

I am still have some HD6 transmission gears
Just a quick follow up, thank you for the excellent insights.
Sometimes one needs a reminder that others are parting machine guess that slipped my mine.
Note to Gemdozer, I will be in touch with you on the gears when I get the gear case sorted out.
BTW i am thinking about building a field master pin press. I plan to use half of the cross beam from an Allis H3 which is laying in my scrap pile as the base. To that I plan to use an OTC 4122 twin ram as the business end to push the pin.
Will fabricate a stop from 120 lb.. railroad rail on the end of the cross beam to allow the link to be supported on the back side.
Any recommendations would be appreciated - I have been looking for an OTC 7000 track press for some time - here on the East Coast to no avail.
Time to build my own I guess.
Hector Gemme is an excellent guy to deal with!
Hector sorry I forgot you posted a while ago in response to another inquiry about Allis parts!
BTW
Did you see the post about a Track Press on the East Coast, I put up this morning?
1st and rev on a HD6 are just a sliding gear and a idler gear for reverse. Chances are if the FW in the seat has stripped one gear its 2 other mates are going to be fairly sick too.
Dry back end HD6s all use the same gears, and HD5s are the same too. 6G should have the 2 speed reverse. But 1st and reverse are the same gears for both boxes. Should be plenty of parts out there.
Don,t go down the track of thinking you can just swap gearboxes. Each boxes crownwheel and pinion are set up for there individual tooth contact. Just strip the box and repair it. Have a good look at the rear double bearing on the pinion shaft too, they do fail
cheers, HD6 was a bloody good little dozer.
