Ok..after staring at the tm for a couple of hours unless im missing something it looks like the input shaft sliding gear is always splined to the input shaft. The input shaft sliding gear also continuiously engages the pto drive gear. With the input shaft sliding gear engaged, the input...

Hi everyone. I'm starting this thread to consolidate the information relating to converting our stock tcases to 2 speed units for those who wish to do so. It looks like i will be able to lay my hands on a spare tcase locally here to do a bench test on. If anyone has info on this conversion...

Here are the pics of the 57 chev 2 ton (18,500lb GVW) school bus rad. It had a 261 six/np420 and wouldve been dead slow with 8.25-20 civvy baloney skins and rear end gearing at 7.2:1 The core its self looks to be 3" thick..not an exact fit but fairly common to find in the back 40's here and...

Agreed..some braking is always better than none. Glad to hear you made it home with no hassles..i used to do stuff like that. The cops here seemed to just enjoy talking to you and getting the walk around tour of whatever vintage junk you were riding home..now theyve gone and hired out of...

Ok..had a look at section 10 of the manual. If you took one wheel cylinder out of the picture the adjuster would act as a stop.With a correctly adjusted brake i would think you would still be able to make contact with the drum. The functioning cylinder end of the shoe for sure, but the other...

A good question..we will need to compare the wheel end systems to understand fully how they operate. I will review the tm and see what i can gleen...

I made it back to the shop..ill look into getting a spare tcase to mess with this week..if i can ill take as many pictures as i can. From rosco's message it sounds like its the pto drive gear and shaft that the action all happens on. I'm a little worried about sending power through a shrunk fit...

Something interesting.. Well it took me a while to find it..this isnt the full diagram i was looking for but in past research on splitting the system on my WC62 i remembered seeing a diagram for a dual hydraulic system for a tandem axle application with dual servo (2 wheel cylinders per wheel)...

Hi Rosco..i'm curious about the 2 spd tcase conversion process..what is the process and what ratios do you end up with? Is it reduction in both ranges? I was considering a solenoid controlled air actuator for shifting the sprag..parallel in a relay with the reverse light switch. Spring to hold...

There is a service in ontario that will machine your cylinders and press in a brass sleve. Use silicone brake fluid , lube up all your seals with sil-glide or equivalent silicone rubber grease prior assembly and never worry again. Oh and a touch of copper anti sieze on the EXTERNAL threads of...
