Wrecker Broken CV Joint, The Golden Driveshaft Crane Drive
Lost my lower CV joint on the Power divider last nite with the boom at full extention and at a 45* to the truck... was setting my pickup bed back on the rails....
Ok, we know the CV is a POS and a real PITA and its made of Unobtainium.
Does anyone know of a commercial truck application that could be retro fitted inplace, Hydraulic or shaft driven?
I am puttin in an Eaton Trans next year so the T case is being moved back, Now sounds like a good time to remove the extra tunnul off the Pwr divider and either go hydraulic or re config the shaft with a coulple support carriers.
Could the 936 system be retro fitted in with some machine work... or does anyone know the specs on the 936 drive system, torque, fluid cap, rpm etc. I have a competent machinist in my pocket, so fabrication and mill work is availible.
Read on to Page four for the final outcome, This shaft off the Tulsa/Garwood power divider will cost around $2,000 from the MV suppliers, IF you own an M816 with this crazy expensive or obsolete system you will at some time end up replacing this shaft.
Basically I dropped one extension housing off the power divider. Had a machinist neighbor mill an endcap, shaft with bearing/seal and oil drain back hole, for the extension housing and fit a keyed flange on the shaft/end cap. From here we took a high angle yoke for a 1330 series (1/2 ton GM or ford) U joint, which allows for up to a 30* angle and welded up the 12 spline existing CV crane shaft to be turned down and cut for 16 spline to fit in the yoke. this makes a slip yoke to ease installation and allows operation at the new angle of 26* up to the union by existing old style CV at the crane drive under the Turret.
