yeah, that's a good number for him, but may be hard to reach if he is still out at my place.

I am going to try to get my little bro and Gpa to do it and may have to help walk them through it over the phone.
Oh, BTW, here is some video from Trees.
BUMP IT!!!

That was AWESOME! Ed you rule. I don't think they make axles to stand up to that kind of abuse.
Don't think it will be hollow. I think your best bet will be some type of magnet concoction, I seen it done before.
oh yeah, everything I've read says to just use a magnet to pull it out. I think the detroits are made of pretty hard stuff. Also have heard of sticking a welding rod to it and pulling it out that way, but seems like it would take a long rod and a steady hand.Quote:

Thanks guys, I will pass that info on. Hopefully my granddad will have time in the next week or so to mess with it so I can start lookin for the correct shafts.Quote:

I am still trying to decide if I am going to actually be able to make it back for the redneck games in huntsville or not (just have to locate a good set of train horns to keep those pesky 4wheelers out of the way so I don't get any stuck in the undercarraige :D ). If I am, then I should have plenty of time to get it in shape to wheel there and then have plenty of time before the Clayton run in December.
Oh, and keep yall's BBM rendevous planning outa my thread. :flipoff2:
If it has a detroit in it and you've broken shafts in it, It's pretty likely the locker is no good anyway.Quote:

But I have never really seen one break before so I don't know what they do
Booo!!! Take your negativity somewhere else. :flipoff2:Quote:

On another note, something on the winch is shot. When I parked the truck we started respooling it so I could get the wire back on the spool a little better and the "ti" part of it kicked in and shut it down. The motor was pretty hot and the power leads were hot also. It didn't sound like it was in a bind, so I am unsure what it might be.
Maybe time for a spool. :eek:Quote:

The LSSD was never built to take that kind of abuse and it was a backup rig anyways so I wanted to keep it in decent shape. :D
Clayton 08: It's awn like Donkey Kong!!!!
here is the tread on pirate about the CTM "drive home shafts"
They are 35 or 37 spline 300m shafts w/ 40 spline drive flanges. :gigem:

Damn you, I just told you I didn't need to be doing any research right now!!!
:flipoff2:
I have a couple of pics sent from the house today I will post in the morning when I get to the office. :)
When you cant physically count the splines, just have someone snap a high-def pic and use paint to count them out. :gigem:
