Who wants a 4x4 rear diff housing in Sydney?

Rear axle housings at Minto
Hello all,
Not sure where to put this so I just had a go and put it here.
I bought 2 X rear 4x4 axle housings yesterday, 1 broken and 1 complete. Both at Minto.
I'm in W.A and only want the diffs and not real keen on paying the $1000 freight back to Perth.
So I'm offering the rear axle housings and axles to anyone who can pick them up and remove the diffs and then I'll pay for freight back to Perth for the diffs.
Anyone interested? :)

Regards,
Tristan H

Hi Tristan,that,s a lot to freight 2 fear ends to WA I got a price to bring a Landy back from WA $1200 .But you was lucky to even get a quote I tried to get a price from Toll to bring back a Landy seat from that auction and never even heard back from them.cheers Bushy

Hi fella. If you are not in a rush, and can get them both strapped to a pallet, put up a post in the AULRO courier service section. Its surprising Wht gets hauled around Oz for friends! Which reminds me, got to go and put a transport offer in there! :)

I can pick them up & store them until you get something sorted out.


I assume they're Salisbury type diffs so it will be a bit of work to remove them.

The assemblies were picked up and now in storage. Just have to get my arm out of a cast then we'll dismantle them.

Pack and send.

Thanks to all who offered help :)
And thanks Diana :)

Diffs dismantled today.

The crownwheel is still mounted to the, hemisphere. Do you want them packed that or do you want them removed from the crownheel and sent just as crownwheels and pinion? (plus injector pump)

I'm not sure if there is a difference between the 4.7 hemisphere and the 3.54 hemisphere.

The 3.5 and 4.7 carriers have different offsets.

So he'll need the whole hemisphere then. Thanks. :BigThumb:

(Was only thinking of shipping weight.) Guess I'm making a box tomorrow.

Thanks so much for everything !!! Now I must say, there is no hurry !!!
I'm saving my pennies for the next auction because I want some stuff from the PERTH auction. :)
So if it's not an inconvenience to you, I leave it till after the 18th to freight them.
If they are in the way, I'll just pay the freight now :)

Was there much corrosion or damage to the one with the broken housing?

[Lotz-A-Landies]

I haven't taken it out in daylight, but there was still oil in the housing, no broken stub and no obvious surface rust. Not as clean as the overhauled one though. One on the rt is the rebuild, one on the left is the broken housing.

Re the space. You haven't seen the size of the Chook Shed! :D

Thanks so much Diana !!
I hope you arm is feeling better !!!

Does this mean when you up tire size and want to change ratios you have to swap the whole diff out? Or are aftermarket rings designed to fit the 3.54 hemisphere?

It depends what ratio you want to go to. And you might find it better to change the transfer case gears.

I think the next step up from 3.54 for 35"+ tires is 4.11? I may be wrong though...

I believe 3.9 and 4.1 will fit on a 3.5 salisbury carrier, but on the 4.7 carrier only that ratio will fit unless you get the crownwheel machined ( 3/16" in the case of 3.5) to accommodate the larger pinion head. So ideally 3.5 carriers are what you want if you are going to experiment with ratio changes, and that should already be in yours.

Good to know, thanks Bearman.

Yes, this is probably the cheaper way to go, in the perentie stock parts there are 2 ratios for the LT95a, 0.996 is the common one for most 4x4's and the 6x6 and 1.113 for the RFSV. The 2 hi range gears you need to change are probably going to set you back about 500-600 which is a lot cheaper than new cw&p's and the time needed in labour cost to set them up. But realistically if you have a decent lathe or know a good machinist there are a number of ratios you can put in simply by machining the high range gear of choice to accept the tapered roller bearings. 1.174 and 1.336, are others that come to mind.
