I stipped the threads on my 72 FJ40 project trying to get the filler plug out. Weighing options to have someone retap the threads of just replace entirely for a reasonably priced transfer case. TIA

I would think you should be able to fix this a couple of ways.

Drill out threads and press in a friction fit insert.

Drill out threads and use a weld-in insert.

There may be a heli-coil like insert you can thread in and use an epoxy to secure/seal.

Just spitballing ideas i have not performed any of the above myself, but if its a good tcase, seems like a lot of work removing and reinstalling to fix a stripped drain hole

If you don’t know the history of the case, maybe you should consider just doing a rebuild using a good housing. There are plenty of those around. I can offer you one for $100. There’s probably a private party with no overhead that may offer you one for less.

I have one in Marietta,Ga that someone else is interested in for a 73 FJ40. If it falls through I’ll let you know. The individual lives in Utah so it depends on the shipping price. I was asking $150 for it.

Thanks… I am in SC, but frequent Atlanta to see my in-laws. Might can arrange something.

$100! That's a bargain.

I’ll keep you posted.

I think Mark is offering a bare case not a complete t/c.

 

[cims1970fj40]

I’m offering the whole thing except the shifter linkage unless you need that as well which it will be more.

I figured as much.

Seemed clear to me.

What I haven't heard mention is the difference in transfer case housings. Later have more reinforcement ribs. 72-74 the same housing?

I have one that is missing the spud shaft in it. It had been installed with an AA spud shaft to adapt to an SM465. I was going to use it with a plate adapter but never did. I sold a fellow mud member the linkage. The rest of it is all there though. I am also in SC.

I appreciate all the help! Was able to get someone to help me retap the case and fix the problem.
