I was at Russ's shop about 2 weeks ago. He has the locking mechanism designed and machined but hasn't finished the dials or the rest of the body yet. Basicly If you want or need a set now you just need to send him some money and he'll finish them. He has alot of other paid jobs that he's working...

Here's the scoop guys. russ has the full design done for the hubs. but he has other projects that are paid for to get finished. If you want to speed up the process you need to call him and et him know there is a market and he needs to finish them. The shop # is 269 278 6945 Russ Gearhart is...

yeah these are nothing like the warns either. These have specific dove cut tooth and engagement system. The warn stuff is a bit outdated even the updated hub they built for the Bigfoot trucks back in the 80's is way outdated setup too.

not doubting anyones abilities but hope they know what types of steel to use and send the parts away to be heat treated. Gearhart only uses the proper types of steel or alum. for his parts. Mild steel machined into the parts isn't gonna be strong enough

It's taking so long because He has many other things that he makes and he's only 1 man. lol

he informed me some the other day. And they should be pretty low profile also. Hey guys what are your thoughts on an aluminum endcap for the lockout? Or would you rather have steel incase you would hit it on something?

Hey Vintage Iron glad to see another jump on board the more the merrier. Russ has been working on his when he gets time. He has most of the final design done. They are a bit different than the standard warn setup these have a total different design and should be rather low profile too. I'll...

Yes he's been doing some further design. he couldn't come up with a used one to save time on design so he started from scratch. I know all will be very impressed with the quality and design Russ cuts no corners when building something which is why it's taking a little bit to get them done.

He's workin on them. He's got alot of other things he's doin right now too. so it takes a little more time. I'll jingle his ear again. lol

He has tried Kramer but no luck. He is still workin on this so I'll let ya know as soon as possible.

He's workin on them but it would still save alot of time if we had one to get some specs from.

I hope to have an answer in a couple days for ya on price. He's still doin some figures. Does anyone have a hub they would be willing to send to him for some measureing so he can save some time on the design? He'll conpensate ya for your time and the shipping cost to and from. If so let me...

Being that the size is twice that of a 2.5 ton it'll be more than $500 but they won't be no $2400 a pair like those goofs at Spare Parts Inc. I talked to Mitchell there and he's a bit high up on his horse and doesn't care if people buy his stuff or not. So oh well Russ can make them alot...

All the 5 tons nomatter what series they are are 2 1/8" 16 spline. The only different ones were the axles that ame in the Oshkosh firetrucks they had 2 1/4" 23 spline shafts but these are rare.

Thanks guys I'll let him know and see what kinda actual price he can make them for. But he said it would be signifigantly less than whats out there now.

Does anyone here have any interest in 5 ton lockouts? I have a friend that is thinking about making them but he doesn't know if he'll have enough people that would buy a set to make his time worth while in doing this. And they should be a bit more affordable than Spare Parts prices.(Those guys...
