ASCO hub issue -

[tucker74]

I hit a snag when I was rebuilding the set of ASCO hubs I picked up, the hub gear crumbled on the edge when I was removing the snap ring. These are the same as Aisin hubs except for the length of the body, and apparently this gear @cruiserdan / @beno any chance Mr. T sells these gears? Anyone have a spare they are willing to sell or part out? @65swb45 ?

They are not available separately from Toyota.

I don’t suppose there is a long forgotten ASCO hub sitting on a shelf gathering dust somewhere?

Not that I am aware of.

I can weld them back on for you

Cruiser parts.net may have them, for a (phe) nominal price.

 

[wngrog]

I don’t think any of my parts trucks have those. I’ll look.

Tucker, I have a set of short body Aisin hubs and outer axles. Let me know if you want to use them while you find replacement parts.

Thanks for the offer, the pieces that chipped off were pretty small ... also the fact the gear was that brittle doesn't make me feel warm and fuzzy. Don't see how you could build a weld bead on there and machine it to work, since it's right where the c-clip attaches

 

[davegonz]

You'd weld a bead on it and then clean up the groove and OD on a lathe. Might hold up, might not.

Hate to have to remove the spindle again to fix, thanks for the offer though

 

[davegonz]

I wonder if you can build a spacer for the short body piece?

Chromoly Hub Inner Gear For Toyota/Aisin Hubs

Would this work?

Edit: Never mind, just realized you had long body hubs.

 

[wngrog]

This type hub?

 

[tucker74]

@wngrog they look just like Aisin hubs but a little longer and say ASCO on the face. Those look like Selectros, but thanks for checking

Holy crap. I dealt with those on a Pig axle I put in Patina. Almost killed me before I figured out they were not the same

 

[tornadoalleycruiser]

I think only avail no pigs 76-78 ish. had the same crack in the same part.

What was your solution? Replace it, just run it ....

I always thought they were the same.
I have a 78 parts axle with one of each!
