ft hub bearing

that hub, is the only part in trans that is Rockwell hard,,

converter shaft with inner rings....used 2 ,,but machine shop, didn't sq end next to flange, these mods, one needs to do themselves, if I had a grinder for lathe, and surface grinder I would have,,,

I just wanted to make sure ft seal had a flat area..but I will see,,,

all bushings are aluminum bronze ,, only used 2 Packard bushing, ft pump bushing, and the reactor bushing, with the deep grooves,, started to make it,, was a pain......trying to groove it.....

bushing are rear pump, planetary,, high range clutch..

could of put the outside rear pump bushing on needle, but to hard to find a fit........

bottom, line,,,, someone with play money needs to step up and get parts made....redesign parts ..to use needle/ roller bearings.,,i did what I could, on my ,,little income,,

of coarse,, the proof in the working trans, I am getting to that, I would but this trans on a trans dyno if there was an adapter....also could have a spare engine, to hook up to,
