Removed the transfer case from 3 speed transmission. Also removed pto attachment. 2 gears and 2 spacers fell out. Got the gears where they go OK. I need to know where the spacers fit in. One is wider than the other.
 
Do you have this diagram?

Transfer Case.webp
 
His case has two separate spacers, one is slightly wider than the other and not shown on the diagram above. To determine where the spacers need to go, I'd position the PTO output housing and "hover" it over where it bolts up. Take a guess and install the PTO gear, transfer case input gear and spacers. Note the location of the PTO gear teeth on the output shaft. They need to line up with the "driven" PTO gear just right. If they don't, swap the spacers around until they do. A bit of trial and error but there's only so many ways it can go and the PTO driven gear is "fixed" so it's a good reference.
 
The shorter one is the 'stopper' and goes between the transmission and t-case input gear. The long one goes between the rear t-case bearing and retaining nut. This assumes the two gears that fell out are the t-case input and PTO gears.

As I remember the one behind the transfer case on a three speed has different size opening on the two end. It will only fit one way. Been a long time since I pulled a transfer case off a three speed but according to SOR the one in front of the input is for four speed. I don't recall the the speed using having one.
