Thank you all for the replies. The said bearing is the only one I haven’t pulled yet,
and I’m not able to see a parts number from visible areas. It’s the only bearing
that “may” be okay, so I didn’t pull it yet until I could figure out availability and cost.
On another note, my gear case is missing support strap, picture ID #34, shown
in Garry’s first diagram. Can I assume it holds the weight of the drive shaft
and pinion gear. Any reason a P.O. may have left it out on purpose???
With the “home made” stop on the drive shaft above the pinion gear, made out
of a large threaded bolt (I think), it’s got me wondering about the whole enchilada!
Prepare to be boarded!
