Another Aussie goat rescued

[combat32]

Ok, let me know how it turns out.

 

[Aussiecowboy]

A long time between updates but I have been very busy on the goat. I stripped all the hubs and pulled the driveshafts, it's easy to tell which nipples are hard to grease, those ones were all dry. I had to replace some unis and bearings, I managed to source these locally but they were very expensive. After much research I got almost all of the seals locally too, except for the large bearing seals, most were OK to use again but I'm still chasing two of these if anyone can help out, even second hand ones would be OK, the damaged bearing wiped out the two on that hub.

I had my first drive today, a very slow drive (see my other thread). The bad news is that my transfer case seems to be trashed, it's ok under acceleration but back off the throttle and it makes horrible, horrible noises and both the input and output shafts have slop in them. Are there still any NOS transfers cases out there?

Thanks for the tip, I sent them an email and they do still have some. Now I just need to figure out how to get it from Texas to California to be shipped to Aus.

 

[m38inmaine]

Do you still need the bearing seals? I would be willing to pull one set from a hub I have.

 

[Aussiecowboy]

I definitely do still need bearing seals, that would be awesome! Thanks very much.

 

[m38inmaine]

I have these 3 seals taken out, the large one is what I call the wiper seal, and the inner and outer bearing seal. The inner seal has a few spots where I had to use a punch to get it off as it's driven on the end of the spindle. I'm sure you can flatten it back out. The rubber is all soft and they should work fine. Any other small parts I could fit in the same package let me know and will see if I have them.

 

[Aussiecowboy]

Brilliant! That will sort me out nicely, my thanks again. I also need one of the screw in lifting eyes from the body, I'm missing one.

Do you need the ring on the side of the body or one of the top corners ?

 

[Aussiecowboy]

Top corner.

 

[m38inmaine]

I don't have any extra lift rings, how about the other owners on here ?

 

[JR Scout]

Got some at muttparts a couple of years ago, he still had a few left at the time. Not sure if those are Goat-specific or not.

 

[Aussiecowboy]

Muttparts have just sold their entire stock of goat parts to another party, it's not clear yet if they will be for sale or not.

 

[m38inmaine]

OK, well PM me your address so I can ship the bearing seals.

 

[Aussiecowboy]

PM sent!

 

[mkcoen]

Turns out I had a couple of lift shackles thrown in the corner. They're yours for the cost of shipping. PM me your address.

 

[Aussiecowboy]

PM sent, thanks.

 

[m38inmaine]

Thanks for stepping in Mark, looks like there will be two packages headed down under from "Mark".

What else could they possibly do with them, if not sell them?
