Thanks. I've been searching by part number and have seen some of those applications listed for common items like seals and bearings. I've ordered wheel bearings by bearing number and seals by dimension. The prices were half of what was originally quoted. I found to a re-seller in Germany with decent prices on the gears. I've sent a request to purchase. they don't list U.S.A. as a customer address option. I hope they aren't restricted from selling in this territory.
Cross contamination is possible even though the hubs are somewhat isolated from the center. I'll be checking the center oil for metal contamination. I plan on checking the fronts too before I place the big parts order. The bearings and seals ordered will allow me to put in together and seal it up, move it around without causing more damage. It may take a while to find a used assembly.
I know a guy in Germany that may be able to forward some parts if you don't have any options.
That would be awesome. Thanks for the offer. I'll let ya know. Thanks!
yeah i would at least rinse the pot with fuel. but what i was gettin at is any gears that APPEAR to be ok. btdt, with that kind of damage i wouldnt reuse any thing in that hub. i left the ring gear once since it looked fine, took out another set of planets in a week. that ring gear had a hair line crack you couldnt see on the front. it would open slightly when the machine reversed and allow misalignment.
no one, you can by round stock by the inch. 8" DOM 1/2" wall is 7" id.
Maybe have the machine shop square up the tubing ends and cut a step the round disc ends? If they are boring the ends, it wouldn't take much more time to cut a step. Then all you gotta do is clamp and weld.
yes sir, i had already thought of that. quick on a lathe, save me a lot of grinding to have them cut a steep chamfer on one side.
