    Dilemma

I have just spent the last two days reading this thread from start to finish as my LT85 finally had the main input bearing collapse. I have been nursing it for close to two years now waiting for Sheldon to send us the replacement adaptor and spud shaft he agreed too. I have been very patient and respectful towards him regarding this matter, he is not answering any calls messages from me. So what to do I have no vehicle to drive at all, a potentially flawed adaptor and no means to resolve the issue. From what I glean from this thread there are possible issues with some of these kits, the adaptor alignment, adaptor welds inadequate and spuds shafts breaking. How many people have a positive outcome with the early kits? As we all know squeaky wheels always get oil. This is very distressing and I am at a loss to resolve the situation. Can anyone help us out here, no vehicle no way to getting around compounded with no communication from Sheldon of the delivery of what he committed to is tough to swallow without feeling a little dispondent.

    Sorry garry, fill me in on your situation. You don't have an adapter housing or shaft?

    Ive got one of the cast adapters and shafts sitting on the shelf that I bought in 2017, is there a problem with the shafts breaking? I talked to a local machinist before buying it and he can make the shafts easily enough, just it was easier to buy the lot than just make a 1 off shaft

    No issues with the shafts.
    My shaft did break, it was one of the very first designs, different to yours, it only broke due to insufficient welds (early steel housing) on the adapter housing breaking causing flex between the gearbox and transfercase.

    If the price is correct, I'll probably buy two.

    I think you'll find they never break these days because they're made from unobtainium.

    Are you making the complete adapter kit or just a component of it? I'd be interested in a complete kit.
