thanks, and i agree, almost looks stock. if it wasn't for the very long shifter travel between 1st and reverse it could have been just like stock. soon ill be in the market for another spicer 3053a. i want one to fully rebuild, swap out, and rebuild this one.. fill to the top with oil, and store it for a rainy day.

I was just thinking filling one up for storage. I'm sure I could figure out a way to temporarily seal the front shaft. I just know if it's plumb full of oil for storage it can't get moisture in there to harm anything.
Or.... you could always store it tilted up 45⁰, filled up to the top after unscrewing the breather...
Seriously: Don't do that, these things are not so delicate. Just smear plenty of grease on all moving parts of your "new" top cover; pour fresh gear oil all over the gear cluster while turning that output shaft over and shut the lid.
That's all it takes to keep it safe from any rusting - for decades.
