Thats awesome thanks..sorry for the hijack..i need 20" for the sae #2 housing to clear..now i have a reference to work from with my power pak still in the truck..many many thanks!!

Thank you very very much..when you get it off could you please put the tape across the widest part of the bellhousing? I need the width as well. Probably the flywheelhousing side including the starter bump. :beer::beer:

I have 2 7041 aux transmissions in trucks i can measure for you if you want to know..they are big and you would need another jack shaft to the main trans. I would say there isnt enough realestate between the engine and tcase to do it. Does anyone have an exact length for the hyrdamatic handy?

All will be revealed once i yank the power pak ... 8-p

I have 2 trucks with 5&4 transmission setups..its not as cool as it sounds.. the synchonizers will block you out of a shift if you try and do the wrong thing..you loose momentumn..and you start again from the basement. The other issue with stacking transmissions is torque multiplication. The...

The skf and rolls royce reps i work with vulcanize lip seals from cut to size stock. They use high tech epoxies and a heated press die. Maybe give the SKF marine division a call and see what they have. Then all you would need is a seal housing. Rolls royce also used the hydramatic under licence...

I agree with rustystud..reliabillity and being able to afford to run a piece of equipment is key to my enjoment level. That is exacly the reasoning behind my wanting to repower with a 350/MT653. What remains to be seen is if there is enough clearance to the upper front axle torque rod for the...

I spoke to my grease rep..ive been using a product called super metalium for more than a decade..he said it didnt contain anything that would hurt yellow metals..my buddy has been using a regular moly ep grease.. So thats the bottom of the bag so to speak. I was using their non moly product and...

More reading suggests that sulphur ep additives attack copper in the alloy creating copper sulphide and under ep conditions create copper disuphide which is very hard and acts as an abrasive accellerating wear (and heat i would immagine). Heat compounds the reaction doubling the rate for every...

Ok thats interesting..heat activated chemical attack..i will definately see what i can find to read when i have time. Thanks for chipping in.

Input shaft sliding gear modification Good news..i got the sliding gear back from the machinist today..he did a beautiful job. He said it was hard as glass..and advised to take it to someone with skill and to not rush or things will go sideways. So as stated in an earlier post we knocked off...

Haha..nope totally didnt notice..thats what i get for peeking at my phone at work lolz

Im interested in the wheel fitment situation as well..please let us know.

Hres a thought. In vehicles whith brass/bronze suspension bushings we should probably be looking for a grease without the ep additives..with all the talk about gear oil with ep not being friendly to yellow metal it got me thinking..a friend of mine has been going through bushings like crazy in...

Thats a great looking truck..i would have prefered a 10 wheeler myself..thanks for the pics. its so handy to see the stripped down version first to get a better idea of what to remove and what can actually stay put for access to the heart of the machine before the wrenches fly. My engine is...

Hi and welcome..i just finnished prying the body off a 1957 carpenter school bus..what a job! What drivetrain does your bus have?

My machinist got the input shaft sliding gear today..it is extremely hard material. I didnt get a before picture regrettably, but we are going to start with milling off 1/4" from the end opposite where the shift fork grabs it . There is a recess cut into the end of the input shaft sliding gear...

Let me get a chance to get the pressure washer out..Haha..the giant fir trees here drop a 1/4" blanket of pollen a day on everything here..once the dew sets on it its a layer of green glue for the darn needles to stick to..it litterally takes 1 week for something to look like its been here a...
