****SOLD*******Toyota LandCruiser FJ40 2 NEW NEWFIELDS 27 Spline

Located in Denver- Asking $125 each or both for $200 + $9 shipping (more to Canada, not sure $).

Inner Spline by the bearings is 27, outer shaft is 30.

These birfield replacements are brand new, but we purchased about 6 years. Never been installed into a truck. (Truth here- no Wenzeling!) We pooled our funds and had 8 sets made in our original order and we kept 2 to sell or as spares. Woody got two from the original order. :D

After putting in the Newfields on the truck, we never broke them so we have these two to sell. We have sold our 40 & now getting rid of the extra parts.

As you can see by the pictures, they are discolored from being in the open air without being in grease. A little cleaning and we have been able to remove some of it. The bearing areas looks great.

Original cost when we had the order fab’d was $208 each shipped.

******Made by CvUnlimited. Purchased through Stuckey Brothers Parts Company in Hemingway, SC, March of 2000. Our best guess is these are 1st Generation Newfields but not positive.*******

Here is some clarification from "the man that knows". He is one of the buyers in the original sets, a true Cruiser Head and awesome guy. "Pretty sure that they fit 68 to 81. The "Newfield Tack" is a must for some fits.
If they are tapped for a bolt in the stub... (Checking on the tap part)
They work on all but the 67 and older...

They are 2nd gen AFAIK
3rd gen softened up the innards to last longer.
I shattered inners once but the bell held!"

I think George will still send newer innards out to upgrade them.


ONE ORIGINAL BIRFIELD. Taken out of 76 FJ40. Looks great. Also discolored on the outside from not being stored in grease. $35

How pitted is the machined area where the oil seal sits?

I might like to grab those up, but im a tad concerned about the degree of rustiness.
 
PM me your e-mail and I'll take close-up, detailed pics of both of them so you can take a better look.

As far as the discoloration, I would not call it rust. If you took some navel jelly, it would all come off. We just used super-fine sandpaper and were able to take some of it off. We don't have any navel jelly around or we would have done that. My bad for not soaking them in grease before storing.
 
I can not be 100% sure on either. I suggest contacting cvunlimited.com Give them a call. They made these- although looks like they sell only late model ones now. Tell them they are 27 spline and fit a 76 cruiser and just ask what other years they fit. When we had the sets made, we bought the same ones for multiple years of 40's. Can't remember which years though.
 
Will these fit on a '71 -40. Also will they fit a '75 -40?
Not unless either of those rigs has had a front disk brake conversion from a doner from production dates 7509-7812. Production dates 6709-7508 will have the 6 spline short birfields, and mini truck FDB conversions will have the shorter 27 spline birfs, as will conversions which used 7901-up donor parts. These long 27 spline newfields actually pretty rare, all the newfield/longfield/smurfields I've ever seen or heard of are for the later applications.

Assuming your 71 and 75 are stock with original drums in the front, you should be able to pick up 6 spline birfs pretty cheap. Lots of folks have them sitting around leftover from their FDB conversions, or from parting out older rigs.
 
yes, 2 still available.
 
will these fit my mini truck conversion?

Sorry for the delayed response, been out of touch a little lately.

Checked with a friend who bought in with us on the purchase. He says: "I am 95% certain that they will.

They work in my 79 axel, and I believe that the 79 and on is the same Birf. as the mini."

Hope that helps.
