Thank you, Brian! @762jp, if you get to the point you're willing to ship, please let me know.

Well, I’m way late. If anybody has one of the green starters they are willing to sell, I need one for my ‘63 40.

Found them, thank you!

@Mark Jennings, thank you for the information, I appreciate it.

As I took the rest of the box apart, there were a lot metal shavings.--mostly fines but some small chunks. The 1st gear portion of the counter gear was really chewed up. I cannot imagine how ugly the gear-grind sound was that caused it. This is the first gear box I've taken apart, learning a...

Thank you, that would be great. We are not far from Canyon Lake. Please keep in touch and I can meet you there.

No way. I was a trouble-maker as a kid—many times had to exit a perfectly good car to walk home. Don’t want to do it as an adult because of a not-perfectly-good tranny and t-case.

Need one in good shape for my tranny rebuild. If ya got one you’re willing to part with, please let me know. As always, appreciate y’all.

Thank you. Makes sense, will do. Fortunately I’ve got a nice reverse idler gear and counter/cluster gear to rebuild with. I’ll try and track one down in “classifieds” and go to SOR if I’m not having any luck there.

I searched and couldn’t get an idea of how much damage the 1st/reverse gear of a 3 speed transmission is acceptable for continued use. For our purpose, this truck will live an easy life—driving around our easy-terrain ranch and Saturday/Sunday drives into town. The counter (cluster) gear we...

Looking for a 4 bolt transfer case nose cone, pictured below. Much thanks!

This!!! My RecTEQ is the best purchase I ever made. Love BBQ’ing but my stick burner would wear me out…managing temps in the middle of the night..don’t miss it. Almost seems like cheating (and probably is, from a purist stand-point), but some of the best brisket we’ve made has come off the...

Alright, alright, alright. We're going to pivot a little here--plan is to put a top shifting 3-speed into the 40...for now. In the mean time, should any of y'all come across any parts for a side shifting 3-speed, please let me know. Especially going to need parts indicated by letters "AU"...

Yes, please. Been crazy! I’ve only seen water moving like that on a few occasions…twice here in Texas and once during monsoon season when we lived in Phoenix. Fortunately our house and ranch/livestock have all weathered the storm…so far (knock on wood).

Ahhh, I see. Thank you.
