Thread: Adaptor shaft

Hoping to send some bits and pieces and drawings to barry at hy tuff to make some adapter shafts, i will be getting 3 done for myself.
Not sure on pricing yet though.
For anyone with a 175mm approx adapter housing this will fit, you will need an mxa flange and a new input seal to suit.
Who's in?

Get a 3.2mm hole drilled thru the guts ( no impact on strength ) tap the outboard end 6mm for grease nipple a plug in the cover and normal people can give it a squirt at service PPs can do it before putting it to bed each night

While I like AM's idea better, here's another lubrication idea - albeit a very complex one - for discussion.

A bit to complex dervish.

Noel, what about cross drilling the mxa flange, and it lubing the same as the input gear?

Where is the oil coming from I doubt if the case would hold grease let alone oil

Adapter housing should be right now noel, had an engineering mob fix it up, hopefully they did a good enough job! We'll see.
So you don't think the spline will get enough lube from just running in the transcase same as the input shaft? I suppose it has to get past the bearing some how.
How do the zf auto's lube the output shaft/spud shaft spline?

Also noel, with your idea, how would you get the old crap grease out?

Count me in, i'd like 2 or 3 depending on costs.
Appreciate all the 'running around' you've done Vern.
And everyone who's contributed in discussions.
