Hi Paul,

Could you tell me what model Ford truck that gear set you brought me is out of ? I thought that if I could find out what it is I might be able to find the part that engages with those outer teeth on the planet carrier I could take the prop drive off of that. It would leave the planet set untouched for future inspection/removal/replacement, what do you think ?

Chris.

Part #78 in the Slauson catalog.

I would not do it because it greatly complicates the gear box housing.
It also adds several pounds of weight to the housing not to mention the part is itself quite heavy. I don't have one so I can not say what the part weighs but I'll bet it is several pounds..

What do you have against doing it with the hollow dowel trick.
It is the low cost way of doing it.

Paul Lamar.

True, Paul, I was just getting my head around all the possible iterations, is all.
   Chris.
