[Wanted] Vintage Wild Willy Axle Tube & Gear Case

Recommended Posts

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!

Now thats a nice picture, we also have that nice orange tablecloth. :rolleyes:

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

Yep, I got the pics from this forum as I am at work and don't have my axles in front of me :)

I'm hoping someone here has a parts car and one of those axles still in tact they are willing to sell. That would be great!

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?

Found it, I'll send you a pm.

Also once I've finished my swb and lwb resto's I will have heaps of parts avail, wind shield brackets, wheelie springs, wheels & tires, probably 3 cars in parts.

I am aiming to have these finished as soon as possible as I'm trying to clean up a bit.

So, if I could produce X number of these parts what would the be worth to you? I'm a former machinist and reached out to an old colleague to potentially make 10 sets..... Let me know a dollar amount your comfortable with.
