I am soon going to find myself with a couple of exta sprag transfer cases. Are they worth anything to sell or do I have a couple of 500lb boat anchors?

They are worth what ever someone is willing to pay for them.
that being said you probably have a good boat anchor.

Are they good? In other words, does the sprag work? Most guys with bad sprag transfer cases just upgrade to the air-shift transfer case, but there is nothing wrong with a working sprag transfer case. There probably are a few guys that want to stay with the sprag transfer case, but not many. If you could get a couple of hundred bucks I would say you were doing well.

$50 to $75 for a sprag. IMHO. A couple hundred bucks should buy an air shift.

I'm pretty sure one of them doesn't work. It is currently in my truck and I'm changing to an airshift. The 2nd one came from where I got my airshift case. They accidently sent me a sprag unit first and just told me to keep it. That's why I figured they weren't worth too much.

That's funny right there! (In my best "Larry The Cable Guy" voice).I'll go along with BKubu and JasonS. If you can get over $100, you're doing well, but expect more like $50. If it works...

The one that is not working...that is worth no more than scrap weight. The "boat anchor" analogy is right on...

Don't sell them for cheap or even scrap them without first taking a look inside! Check for wear, especially the condition of the dogs on the high/low syncro and gears. These and most other parts and bearings are interchangeable, so your sprag TC is a potential donor today to keep you air shift TC alive tomorrow!

Gringltaube is right on the money. Many of the parts in a sprag unit will work in an airshift. And if enough people would ask Memphis Equipment to make another production run of REB kits for the sprag deuce transfer case, they might do it. I have a couple of REB kits in deuces and they work great. Nice extra lever up through the floor board, you select 4x6 or 6x6. Airshift transfer cases are not getting any cheaper and they are not a never ending supply. JT out

I removed a complete parking brake assembly from a sprag transfer case today, it is the exact same as an airshift transfer case. Oh, it's also the same shoes as go on a 5 ton transfer case too. They are worth a lot more than what you will get for scrap. Then you have the speedo adaptor, when you can find them in working condition, they aren't free. All the drive flanges, High low range synchro, and on and on. I guess I'm saying, save your paper weights and I'll come get them when I retire. JT out
