Is there any way to strengthen these? i've already done one idler shaft, AND yesterday my second case blew the rear off it trying to drive slowly up a ledge. i had good traction, and was at a bout 2000rpm in low first when it went "pop" and then i had no drive.
anyone got a fix for em?

i think he means use the 60 series gearbox too,Zeyphly wrote:How worn out were the transferes when they failed? Was the new one reco'd or just second hand? I thought 60's had a different output spline off the grear box?
my first one was worn, the second one was an awesome condition low k second hand one.
the first one did an idler shaft but the case stayed in tact, will the T case bracket help that by takin the load off the idler shaft.
the second one i believe did an idler shaft, but it was impossible to reconstruct the bits to see a point of failure

Drill the idler shaft (8mm) through the centre.
Make a large (20-25mm) heavy flat washer for each end.
(you'll need to set in an 'o' ring on the gearbox end washer).
The gearbox end washer has a threaded hole, the rear one an 8mm hole.
Bolt together with a very long capscrew from the rear threaded into the gearbox side washer.
Spreads the load on the idler gears to both sides of the casing instead of just the rear.
If you want to get really keen - you could turn out the idler gear to take taper roller bearings instead of the needles.
