Default CMPs are a real mix and match

Hi Ken

First step is to really identify which transfer case and which PTO. Depending on how many rebuilds, repairs, different mechanics who have worked on them CMPs that I have seen can end up being a real mix and match as to what parts it started life with and what may have now 70 years later. Chevy trucks with Ford Engine Transmissions groups were supposedly common in North African rebuilds.

If I remember the service bulletins correctly Chevy used at least 7 different two speed transfer cases. There is also a note in the Chevy service bulletins that I read as saying not all two-speed transfer cases even have the parts internally to accept a PTO. Simple logic why do machining on a transfer case that may never be needed.

Looking at the Ford parts books I have I don't see any mention of interchange with Chevy.

For our Ford guys what are the indication that it is a Ford Transfer Case?

Cheers Phil

Default T-case

From experience on working on about 5 Chevy T case......

Ford and Chevy have very different outside castings...... nothing here would interchange..... however..... I beleive that some of the gears in the single speed may fit either models.....

Chev went through a lot fo modification on the outside castings...e.i. more room for extra oil.... but the internal parts remained the same.

The two speed again is a totally different animal.... the single speed T case will not accept a PTO has the inner parts have not been machined as pointed out by Phil.

As a point of interest.... I was able to source all the bearings,race and seals for the Chevy 2 speed T case...... and in most cases be prepared to by some speedy sleeve to circumvent worn ridges...... total cost a bit over $600 and that was 3 years ago. And I filled it with fully synthetic gear oil.

The worst part or best.... it still leaks!!!!

Boob

many years ago I changed the pto from a ford to a chev 2 speed transfer case ( or chev to ford not sure know ) it all went together but the dog that went onto the shaft that came out of the other transfer case had a differant way of being secured. One of the shafts had a pin that went through the dog to attach it to the shaft and the other one didn't,that could have been as one wasn't fitted for the pto in the first place too long ago to remember, it did work what ever I done
