Do you know what transfer case that is?

I think it’s an early AA adapter where the main shaft of the SM420 is replaced and reaches through the support bearing in the transfer case.
not sure what year case it is... there are “some” ribs on it... so not super early? ‘71-‘73???

Sure looks like a Warden’s early adapter with the welded out put shaft.
That’s a great deal. GLWS

Oh. Huh. Could be.

Danny Warden's adapter didn't change anything in terms of the output shaft.

Well, for the 3 speed transfer case, anyway. Not sure if he made a 420 to 4spd adapter; but THAT is DEFINITELY a 3spd transfer case.

Warden's adapter was little more than a 3/4" aluminum plate with an additional bearing for the transmission output shaft, and some hardware to retain the input gear.

You removed the PTO gears & the original t-case input gear fit onto the SM420 output shaft (about 3/4 of the way, the gear was actually deeper than the shaft) and was retained by a bushing (thick washer) that had a roll pin to index into the gear's splines; with a retaining bolt that threaded into the transmission output shaft.

It's easy enough to know if this is a Warden's adapter by pulling either the side or rear PTO cover & seeing if the PTO gears are there.

If it has a stub shaft WITH the PTO gears, then it's likely the Advanced Adapters kit.

You are referring to their 2nd type of 420 adapter, plate style.
Their first ones were thicker aluminum spacer/adapter, and a Sm420 shaft mated to a 3 speed tranny’s out put shaft. PTO friendly.
Back to the sale.

I swear this wasn’t a stub shaft. But a custom Shaft that replaces the main 420 Shaft.
the plate is thicker than the “modern” 3/4” plates. anyway... Sales is pending.

Huh. Similar to this guy’s (Also a mystery)

SM420 adapter???

i have a newly rebuilt SM420 and have been looking on AA's website to find the adapter plate which was supplied with my tranny and am unable to find it. can someone give me the name or part # for this part so that i can identify it properly?? I have been unable to find it and would like to know...
