5 ton lockout hubs

[datadawg]

In the 5 year lifespan of this thread, one could have become a doctor -- even medical school doesn't take this long! I'm not criticizing, but it sure is a long time to make something. I think I might show this thread to my wife, so she knows it's normal to wait a few years for things to get done (like the landscaping in the house....I've been running out of excuses, until now )

I agree. I gave up waiting and had the splines machined out of an extra set of hubs. I will keep the splined hubs in the truck just in case though.

If anyone getting worried I am STILL at it the springs will have to be custom made, and I had problems cutting inner splines into hub but got a idea on how to do it now after about 6 tries, trying best not to have to cast anything, I need to purchase a special mill cutter that is long enough to go all the way to bottom of spline cut out while leaning hub at angle. Will keep everyone posted.

Thanks for the update. As long as the price isn't crazy, I'll be in for a set or 2.

Any progress?

Did this die?

Well the mill cutter didn't work, now trying to broach the splines into the hub also got a more educated person involved that knows more than me about specialty milling and Gcodes. I haven't gave up yet.

Glad you didn't give. Hopefully things work out because I think there are quite a few of us interested in them.

Steve6x6x6 has the means to cut splines.

Keep on it! There are many of us watching this.

There's quite a bit of business to be had here.
