SAME Dorado 86 Transmission Overhaul

The Job: Giving a Hardworking SAME Dorado 86 a Second Life

An Oamaru market gardener is a proud owner of the trusty SAME Dorado 86. The tractor suits his daily vegetable operation down to the ground, so replacing it with a brand-new model has never been on the cards. Instead, he decided to give the Dorado 86 a full birthday.

The forward/reverse was slipping, meaning the range change and brakes were due for repair. But once the mechanic got inside, the project evolved into a full winter overhaul to ensure the tractor was set up for thousands of extra operating hours.

The Fix: A Complete Transmission and Brake Overhaul

With the scope of the overhaul locked in, they would need a complete parts package to renew the tractor’s vital systems. The job had now expanded to renewing the clutch packs in both the transmission and the brakes. Where could they source every single component required for a job of this scale in one go?

ProPart supplied every single item needed to pull off the repair, from the main hydrive clutch pack and hydraulic pump right down to every last seal and o-ring. Some of those parts included the following: 

0.008.0322.3/10 – Agroshift/HML Clutch Pack

2.4539.090.0 – Hydraulic Pump 19cc LH

0.015.4482.2/10 – Friction Brake Disc

0.013.2921.3/30 – Hydrive Clutch Pack

One call, one place, job done! The mechanic got everything in a single shipment, keeping downtime to an absolute minimum and turning a potential breakdown into a reliable long-term investment.

ProPart Insights: Why PTO Shaft Wear Gets Missed

Drivetrain issues rarely happen overnight. High-use working tractors, especially those engaged in precise, low-speed market garden tasks, put constant friction and thermal stress on clutch packs and hydraulic fluids. Slipping shuttle controls or soft brake pedals are clear signals that internal wear is escalating.

By opening up the transmission at the first sign of slippage rather than waiting for total drive failure, this grower avoided catastrophic component damage. Overhauling wear-and-tear parts on a planned schedule keeps the gear that already works for you running reliably.
