I know where some are...getting the owner to part with them is another story...but he has piles of them.....

Uncle Dennis makes us smile too!😍

Appreciate it Steven!  They are super cool little devices and it is fun to understand how they work.

Thank you Pierre - glad you enjoyed it.  They are cool devices!

Greetings Don!  Thank you and Happy Thanksgiving to you and your family as well.  The final drive is good fun...and getting more so the better it works!

Thank you very much Robert!  Hope you and your family had a wonderful holiday!

Thank you Mark and Happy Thanksgiving to you, Marcia and your family!  Thankful that you were not seriously injured - sorry for the replacement troubles.  Looking forward to seeing your progress on the Ford!

Go forth fearlessly!😂. Worst case, we will send Uncle Dennis to the rescue with his set of hammas!

They are cool little devices!  Get a copy of TM 9-1825B - has a lot of information and is helpful to have as you work through this.  I am willing to bet that this VR will work fine once it is cleaned up.  Get some electrical contact cleaner and then use a fine brass brush/3M pads, emory cloth and mechanically clean them.  As long as the contact areas are bright and shiny, the rest is just our collective OCD!  You can try a product like Mothers Metal Polish too....if you want to go HAM!

Why don't you start by posting them here....Let's see how that works.  Many thanks in advance!
