H55F pre 85 vs H55F post 85

[Dalton]

Ok Guys I have a 5 speed h55f gear box of unknown origine except it came out of a 60 series, how do I tell if its pre 85 or post 85.????
What the difference please.

Just curious, why do you care what year the H55F is?

Because I'm putting it in a 1988 hj60 model to replace the one that's in there. If you look on some web sites the seals say 80 to 85 or 85 to 90 I was not sure if the shafts were different in width as well as the bearing size

I have found the answer to the question that I seek from 4x4world.com.au


The only really easy way to tell the difference is if your second box has the transfer case on it - if you measure the diameter of the input gear idler shaft you can tell by:
Pre 10/85 34mm
Post 10/85 38mm

Input shaft bearings are different sizes.
