3speed case?

[tornadoalleycruiser]

Wicket called said someone in the iowa region needed a 3speed case? Holler whomever it is. let me know if you were needing floor shift or vacuum I can convert the 3spd case to either. I"m cleaning the garage out right now anyway.
and let me know what it's worth. Not wanting to get rich and not wanting to get poor either.. Rob and Art can vouch for me if you need character references. Not sure that's a good thing to put here? Hmmm.

I can arrange to get it close to the boarder somehow either when we pick up our cow or it's turkey season whichever comes first. We hunt outside princeton mo. Or I can ship.. they ain't light tho.

That's me!

I am wanting a virgin, original nose cone, floor shift.

 

[tornadoalleycruiser]

I have a "Virgin" 3spd case that has vacuum on it that hasn't been molested at all..
lemme look and see cause I think the 4 bolts on the side of the nose can swap it to floor shift. you have the floor shift "levers"?
or are you holding out for one that doesn't require the 4bolt shifter swap? if so i won't even dig it off the shelf.
Makes no difference to me just wanting to help.. I'd rather have the vacuum anyway for my project so have no problems donating the floor shifting stuff off the case i'm planning on using to this case.

 

[Dudleyfj40]

Thanks for helping I appreciate that.

I need the floor shift stuff not the vacuum.

That would be cool if you can change them out. Levers would be good.

I expect to be in KC on and off over the next couple months so can porabably bring it back this way... lemme know Brent

it's (sholud be) easily swapped and all it'll entail should be nose cone or the "pod on the side" swap. it's currently residing on a shelf in the garage. I'll dig it out. and I have both types of tcases sitting there so I think this will be a great idea.. it'll get you what you want and I wanted the vacuum pod part for the FJ45 to go with the big ol lever on the dash. I honestly don't recall off the top of my head if I can just change the 4wd mechanism on the side of the nose cone or if i'll have to swap nosecones cause the tcases are on the back of the huge shelf in the garage. I'll dig them out first to determine that.

What transmission do you currently have? meaning do you currently have the h42 with the lever on the side to go to the tcase or need the levers? the levers attach to the transmission. I can hook you up but need to know your needs.
Not sure if I can post pics or not but i'll definately give it a shot. Gimme a day or so.. Having 2 jobs sucks sometimes.

Looks like you have transportation for said case we just gotta see if it meets your needs.. the older 3spd stuff is 10 spline but i'm guessing you know that

and Erics.. I'll apologize in advance, my 45 isn't at the house so if you come by there will be no gawking. it's stashed till i finish the mancave.

I am running an sm420 so I fabbed my own shift sticks.

I am just wanting the the tcase and the little shift pack that goes on the side of the nose cone.

Don't switch nose cones. I have found (my problem now) that if you switch nose cones with another that you will get a leak in your front output seal by switching bearings with race.

That is why I am wanting a virgin.

 

[tornadoalleycruiser]

is this what your looking for? the 4 bolts swap the shifter to floor shift from vacuum just fine. i'll look for the rubber boot in a tcase kit somewhere and try to find the 4bolt gasket that goes under this piece.
i'd run the shifter thru the parts washer was kinda dirty and grimy and i don't have the parts washer hooked up yet. if it's what your needing lemme know. otherwise no big deal.

 

[Dudleyfj40]

Yah that looks good. I will pm you an offer.

Are you going to the meeting on Sat, I think I will be there

no - leaving shortly for FL, but I'll leave it in a spot where you or someone can grab it with a little more arranging... we'll talk.

 

[tornadoalleycruiser]

So what's the case with the case?
Arrive up north to it's new home?

 

[erics]

I left it in the back of my locked vehicle but didn't connect with Brent's minions in time with the location of the key to get at it... my brain went all to mush in the FL sun.

I'll get it to him soon. thx

So, what do you think of the Iowa beer?

 

[tornadoalleycruiser]

Have some in the fridge.. honestly I was saving it till I was drinking just one or 2 beers.. Been framing up the mancave in the basement and that requires much more quantity over quality. Hanging 5/8 firerock SUCKs.. Will report back soon post consumption. Looking forward to it.
