Outer Wheel Bearings

Hey Terry and Rob

Sorry if I caused any confusion but I took a picture of the part I am talking about. If the welding idea is still plausible I will try that out very soon.

Also I took my tranny to a "Professional" who really hosed me and made me miss the AC12 Convoy he also had my transfercase but was unable to get one gear of so he could not remove the cover. Is there a special puller to get this part off?

Hi Garry, Looking at fig. 24 Page N9 in the MB F1 manual that gear (or clutch dog) does not have to be removed to take off the cover. Figs 29 and 30 show the dog being removed from the shaft.
Glad you had good luck getting the hub bearings out.
Regards, Terry

Hey Terry

I kind of thought that it did not have to come off, the guy that was looking at it claimed to have spent several hours trying to get it and the cover off and researching how to get it off but was unable to. I am going to try to remove it myself (the cover) and will order new seals at that point, I do have another t-case here from my C-60 but it has a large hole in it.

Does anyone know if it is possible to order a replacement part for the transmission or if anyone has a spare or 2 as both of mine appear to have been run with loose bolts in the driveshaft and broke the peice in the photo's below on both trucks.

Hi Gary

This damage is as you probably guessed caused by the universal joint bolts getting loose hitting the heads of the transmission bolts. Yours is the worst busted up one I've seen. Interestingly yours appears to be cast iron while all the ones on my truck are pot metal.

From the Chevy parts book it was used over wide period 38-4? with the 4 speed transmission with open drive shaft. All of the non-CMP ones I have seen have the speedometer drive in them. But that doesn't cause a problem you will just need to plug the speedo drive and bearing holes. In fact the transmission in my C60L which is a `41 had the complete speedometer drive assembly in the retainer.

If you can not find one on a junk transmission. You might try Obsolete Chevrolet Parts http://www.obschevy.com/ I've had good luck find parts through them, I check on line to see if they had it but didn't see it listed, but they have had other stuff I've needed that was not listed or once I described it they had another part that would fit or interchange. May take sending them a picture of your part.

Cheers Phil

Hey Gary what's under the kilt?
I think the balls fell out!

The cause is not loose bolts but the lack of the spacer ring on the output shaft. I'll look up the thread and pictures from several years back on this forum. It's a ring made of flat steel 3/8ths wide wrapped around the shaft and butt welded. It keeps the output flange from being drawn up to tight against the transmission. the ring is NOT in the parts book and the military output flange is 3/8ths shorter than a civvy one.
