Yeah, who would of "thunk" that ! LOL !!!

I will buy one as soon as my money issues this month clear up.

Those look sooo good !!! I want to touch them ! I know I have issues ! :cookoo:

Called "Novak" today and they said they would not do a project with this limited amount of interest. I guess we in the MV world don't count for much ! Hopefully Steve will be successful in getting a working unit out for us.

That's a pretty cool idea and at only $178.00 a great deal ! I wonder if they can build our housings and grind our shafts for that price ? Think I'll call them tomorrow.

Hey Brian, have you cut one of your modified input housings to see if there is enough material there yet ? I was hoping you would do that so we could all see and put this question to rest. Then we can start buying your input housings !

I must have misread your post. Too bad, that would be nice and easy to just get a later model housing.

Gerhard, you mentioned that the later Spicer 3053 transmission used a front oil seal. Do you know what years this would be ? Thanks.

We do need to figure this out before anyone installs it. I don't want to be stuck in Alaska with a broken transmission !

I like the look of that seal Gerhard ! Though I really like the idea of a "Steel housing" that Garrett was making. I don't want to be in the middle of Alaska and have my transmission snout break !

Just talked with Brian. He said it wasn't epoxied or welded. He is very busy right now and will not be able to post anything for a few days. So we wait and see.

Yep, it's epoxied it in. I would never use that piece. I have seen parts that where epoxied in transmissions before. They have a tendency to come loose and destroy the bearings. Especially the small needle bearings. I had a case that someone tried to repair a crack with by using epoxy. The epoxy...

I used to work as the main mechanic for a small fleet of trucks (40) . Since it was a privately owned company it needed all the trucks running to make money ( spraying pesticides and herbicides ). The trucks where all 3ton units with manual transmissions used to haul 600 gallon tanks and PTO...

I plan to have two rebuilt transmissions this next year. One for the truck now and a spare for later. Because "You never know" !

No, just waiting for you to post that their ready to buy and how much ! :-D

Well that's my problem. I only follow a few categories like the "deuce" and "trailers" and "generators" section.

The way you make it sound it's like he just missed heavens gates by a hairs breathe !

What do you mean "ended up in the hospital" ? Did you get hurt ? Are you OK ?

I'm still in at $300.00 . This will solve a lot of problems, especially to though's of use who go off-road and get their trucks in funny positions. No more oil on the clutch ! and even more importantly keeping the transmission oil level where it should be.

Your right, keep it steel.
