Looking for a serviceable bell housing that would fit a j30 3spd from early 70s 40 series. Preferably in easy distance from Portland Oregon metro area. Haven't priced these. I have a few things to trade but can do cash. Hoping less than $75

Unfortunately I don't know the exact mileage. I went back to see if it was in my email history. No dice. My memory from talking to the guy says around 225k. I usually document these things. Sorry. Full disclosure, and sprinkling salt, while checking email history, the transmission I ended...

Bought this for a project, but no longer need it. Pulled from a 96 FZJ80 that had overheated and rig parted out. Has both sides of connectors for harnesses if you want to do a custom jnstall. Also have a core TC and flex plate you can have. Located in Vancouver WA, near Portland OR. $600 obo

5spd with a 3B could get up to 80mph, so 2F would do it. Nice 40 but that axe location makes me nervous. LoL

Most chatter for Cascade Cruisers is on Facebook these days. That said, I see 100s on local CL for reasonable prices from time to time.

Running up against a similar question. How's this look?

So I had an issue with the AC in my 2000 LX470 recently. It started popping the little 20A fuse in the fuse block on the regular and pretty instantly whenever the AC or Defrost were turned on. Checked the compressor clutch as first suggestion from Josh. It was in tolerance. Then took it to...

I have a 135kw (180hp) UQM motor and controller that was pulled from an electric Airport shuttle van. It revs to 7700rpm and makes peak 320Nm (235ftlb) torque from 0-2700rp then drops linearly to 125 at 7700. Will be ample for the 62, but needs a little bit of gearing, mostly for...

3 day weekend provide some time to clean up the garage a bit. Scoot the project over to make some working room and begin setting up the bench top test. Got so far as connecting the high voltage wires to the inverter/controller. I've got some low voltage cabling and connectors to sort out next.

A few notable details. Passenger side knuckle was a learning experience but after I got over the amount of mess, it went pretty well. The driver side spindle was somehow out of round by 0.01in. Made getting the bearings to seat properly really difficult. Bunged up one of the studs on the...

Holy schnikes, it has been a while since I updated this thread. The last year has been all about the front axle, suspension and a fair amount of calculations and preliminary thinking on the power train. Hit snags. Learned a bunch. And lived a life. Last week I finally got her up on 4 springs...

This thread is a bit stale, but in case it still helps... In the process of diagnosing a different problem with AC. (My issue is blowing a fuse whenever the compressor is needed (ac or defrost.) I disconnected the positive connector from the AC compressor clutch itself. Then tested the...

@TRAIL TAILOR are you planning to make another run of these for the 60 series?

Jb weld was my first instinct. I've had bad instincts before. Thanks for the sanity check. Jb weld fills are curing now.

Real time help. I'm doing a knuckle job on a '92 LC axle. The DS was in rough shape with failed seals and gnerally a mess. (No history on this unit) The ball end of the axle housing is fine on the inside, but had some pitting and a few deep Mars or scratches. The pitting I think is ok. I've...
