727 rebuild

Cope is in Indiana, near Chi Town.

That first picture would scare me away from rebuilding one. Just from the looks of it, seems like too much could go wrong with all those little pieces inline.

I have a scanned step by step pictorial for rebuilding a 727 in pdf form, but it's 17MB in size.

It's from a book that my Dad bought way back in the 70s from Petersen Publishing - kind of a collection of articles bound into a book form.
If I can find a place to put it, I'll post a link. One word of warning though, every other page is upside down - jus the way it fit in the scanner. You can flip images around with Acrobat, but you can't save it back to the file once you do... Of course, if you print them out, you can do it manually.

The best manual for rebuilding I've found is just the regular old fsm.  There are any number of others out there though.  Some on video or dvd some on cd-rom an some in print.  They aren't hard to find.
As for tools, basic hand tools are what you'll need for now.  A heavy duty pair of snap ring pliers with a wide spread (1 1/2 inches) and an inch pound torque wrench.  There are a few assemblies that need a press but you should be able to get a local shop to do it for you if you don't want to buy one.  Feeler guages are a must.  I' have a couple of tools that I've made for pulling the pump assembly out and adapters for my press and what not. 
The other big thing that can't be overstressed is a clean well lit area to work.  Think hospital clean.

I'm sorry Jon didn't have a good experience at Bekkerings.  No shop or individual is perfect all the time.  I was impressed when Tom (the tranny guy) told me to bring it in anytime if I wanted him to adjust or check anything at no charge.  It did leak around the pan gasket after a week or so and that was fixed, no problem.  I do think that you young guys (wrongfully so) may not get optimum service sometimes.  The perception being that if they spend alot of time checking things out for a quote, you won't be able to afford the repair.  My son-in-law used to get alot of that when he was in the business a few years back.  Don't worry with any luck you guys will get old and wrinkled some day.  Bob

There's a pretty good video out there that shows how to tear down and rebuild a 727/904, shows the procedure, tools you'll need, etc.. I got mine from JC Whitney a couple years ago-  Not the most professionally produced, but it covers everything!

I'm in the middle of a 727 rebuild(1st timer), and this book is my bible. It's very well writte, I advise you dropping the 15 bucks and picking it up. This guy is also where I got my rebuild kits/any needed parts, plus I've called him about 50 times for questions, he's real helpful.

Also, ignore the comments from the one guy who reviewed the book and said it doesn't do a good job as a step-by-step. It in fact does an excellent job of that, and that's what I use it for.

that book is great, but if you can get a copy of the chassis service manual, you will be like wth do i need this other book for?

[moparfreak]

I use the torqueflight book for general step-by-step and direction, and the factory service manual for real details w/ the explodes and stuff.

I cant get the link to work, I have cable internet so the size is not a factor. Am I doing something wrong?

[Silver R/T]

just click on where it says something like CKa*aT  *aN*
Скачать файл

[d72hemi]

I did, and have tried a few times, to click on "Скачать файл", but I only get a blank page that does not seem to do anything. but I did once get a page that said somthing about the site being overloaded or somthing like that, but that was only once.   

[Silver R/T]

ya its overloaded for right now I guess, id try later

For those having trouble, right click that and select Save Target as...

That should get you going.

I think what's happening is that Acrobat is trying to open the file directly and it takes a while for it to download.
It took about 23 minutes to upload and I was no where near my max upload speed.

That site isn't the quickest, but at least it holds 20 MB....

Patience. It does work.

[d72hemi]

It works  , but is only downloading at 0.3-0.2 Kbs a sec 

Thanks guys!
