front diff. problems

here is the carnage I think I am going to go with a DGL

I think the gearless locker replaces all of that. but check with highlifter to make sure. 1-318-524-2270

How did you bust your axle?

i think he got a rope stuck to it.

Do any of yall know if you can purchase just one side of the side gears for the differential I busted the **** out of one of them and I don't want to pay $500 for the whole differential.

Does the DGL replace these pieces in the diff. if so it is the same cost as buying the original pieces. I will post some pics later.

Its only $300. MAy be easier to get one already assembled and ready to go. Just an idea.

I already have a new inboard joint for the axle but I have to replace one of the cams in the diff, the splined parts of it is what is in pieces, all of the cam followers are still good. But from what I have seen online you can only get it all together for $460 or something like that. If I am not able to get just the one gear then I am going to go with a DGL.

And yeah railroader I was in a nasty mud hole trying to work my way out and a rope that someone threw in the hole became wound up in the tire and popped the axle, sure would have been nice if just a cv would have broke but noooooo.

Maybe this will help its a diagram of for a 450 but should be the same.
Other idea would be to find someone a DGL in there bike they will not use the 2 cams or the 12 followers. The Cam is broke ,but you can not buy it only the diff. assem. Or bye a DGL. <a href="http://216.37.204.206/hondapartsworld/H" target="_blank">http://216.37.204.206/hondapartsworld/H ... A=119&B=33</a>

Yeah I never thought of asking someone that put in a DGL, but I think I am going to go with a DGL close to the the same money and none of the hassle of finding a used one. Plus I already have the wife convinced that it is the best way to go kind of like when I put lockers front and rear in my jeep.

Does anyone know of a machine shop that they can recomend to do the machining, or do you think that napa could do the job alright?

DGL on the way, now the worst part waiting. I am not a very patient person Now i have to find a shop to do the machining.

what do u have to machine

There is a ring on the inside of the ring gear that has to be machined flush. No big deal should be hard for any competent machine shop.

Are you going to have that thing ready for Labor Day? If not bring the jeep out, But if its running bring both!

actually we can't make it on labor day, we have a family reunion that weekend, on the other side of the state. but ut will be cfixed for this weekend.

DGL is on the brown truck today and the ring gear will be done tomorrow, can you believe $45 to machine that little bit. I will be riding this weekend

Glad to hear you won't be down long. Be careful with your thumb
when you get in a bind. You might pop an axle.

Yeah I know gorillas will probably be next, 2 months is way to long to go without riding

Its back, finished it a couple of hours ago the install was pretty straight forward, I will let yall know how I like it after this weekend.
