Hubs for a decent price if you want them

 

[Land Speeder]

That is a nice deal! But I'm gone rebuild minesez with longfield gears. Cause I'm eventually going to longs, and for them to warranty them, they gotta have te gears in the hubs... and I don't wanna break the hubs anymore anyway.
I broke a hub on half-ass at Southern Cruiser Crawl this year... sorry Bossman!

Is she on the road again?

 

[BamaPaul]

that's what I did with mine as well. I searched the classifieds and found a set of Longfield hub gears to rebuild my Aisins with.

no. still at the shop. I'm hurting too bad to go and help Joey out at Gilberts, he was gone rack it today and start.

lots of good stuff in here.

Here's my thought, FWIW.

If it was me I would look to eliminate that top shift lever altogether. Drill through the front of the case, add a rod to the front of the hi-lo shifter fork shaft, find a suitable oil seal and tap and plug the hole for the high-low shift lever. Like this

How did it drop? Mine is set up very similar to the gold one from the looks of these pics and I don't want to find myself in the same situation.

From what Matt said last night, it's common once you twin stick it.
But the clamp came loose on the dowel and from there the dowel just drops into the case. Joey gone put a washer on the dowel and tack weld it, in front of the clamp. So it can be unclamped and case removed...

 

[bhmmapping]

paul, that's your pic in the post above. Eric's is different, I ground the shaft and turned the lever so it goes front to back. Still, I would check that nut clamping the lever on there every once in a while.
