Indetrucks 72 Posted November 5, 2014 So I'm trying to bring an old Willy's back to life and upon disassembly I found a couple broken bits on the rear end. I will describe them to the best of my ability. 1) One of sides of the gear housing has a hairline crack (transmission case)? Does anyone have a spare? The side needed is the longer of the two (can confirm when I get home). 2) One of the axle tubes that presses in to the transmission case (similar to the pic below) has broken off right at where the bearing is pressed on. Cannot remember which side (I think the longer one), can confrim later as well but maybe they are the same size? I have been searching eBay but always seem to get beaten out on the bidding. Anybody have these two bits or even one of them laying around? If so, please message me price + shipping to Southern CA 90717 Cheers! Share this post Link to post
waterbok 1282 Posted November 5, 2014 Now thats a nice picture, we also have that nice orange tablecloth. both the ball end are the same, its just the aluminium axles that have a different length. I still have my project in the drawer for making these part, just need to win the lotery and buy a cnc lathe alternative is only making the axle and press fit plastic balls Share this post Link to post

That would be great! Share this post Link to post
Indetrucks 72 Posted November 9, 2014 Update, it's the smaller of the two tranny cases that has the hairline crack. Does anyone have this half of the case and one pot metal axle tube as pictures above? Also while I'm here, also need a windshield and metal side mounts for it Spare tire and gas can anyone?
