buckrancher 2,679 #155 Posted April 24, 2015 Made a new tail shaft gear for the output shaft on the transmission I bought a gear that was longer than the original and cut It down to the length I needed then I had a coworker who runs our wire EDM machine cut a internal spline to fit the output shaft here's the old gear that I cut off the output shaft new gear this gear now takes up the space that gave me the slop in the original trans setup I will use a harden washer and bolt to attach to output shaft Brian 5 6 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
rmaynard 15,509 #156 Posted April 24, 2015 It somehow seems unfair that you have better toys than me. As usual, great job Brian. 2 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
cstempert 27 #157 Posted April 24, 2015 Brian Looks great That arrangement is similar to the original where the splined shaft would have used a speedometer gear and then a slip yoke retained by a bolt/washer to hold the bearing and shaft in place Hopefully there's enough room for the bolt inside the secondary case Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

buckrancher 2,679 #161 Posted January 14, 2019 I made a form from a couple of 2 x 4 's of the front corner of the hood put a plastic bag over it laid up two layers of 6 oz fiberglass cloth then married it into the hood on the broken corner then added two layers of fiberglass mat to build the thickness up Brian 7 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

stevebo-(Moderator) 8,330 #174 Posted April 11, 2019 I may be bringing mine down this year... I have some extra parts and part numbers if you need anything let me know. I rebuilt the rear with new seals and bearings. I have all sorts of photos of the process too. Let me know. 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
