That gear on the left looks like the shim might be stuck on it. Take a knife edge and see if you can pry under it. It looks like the shim might be there.
I can't tell by the pictures. Are those to spider gears good?
Not really, small chips all over them
No, you can see in some of the other pictures he's posted. They suck.
You lost the pin? You'll need a roller bearing .250 diameter and one inch long to replace it.
Got pin
Only 1 shim

DO us a favor. Spread out what you DO have, good and bad so we can see it all.
Ok so there is a cross shaft there. So all I see you need are the axle side gears, the two small spider gears and one shim. and of course the cones cleaned up, machined and the unit shimmed and reassembled. Will that do it?
I count 7 case half bolts. Are you missing one?
Yup and one case bolt. lol

Question, what does one do to break the spider gears, as shown in the photos?
Would that be from fatigue, from too many hard uses?
Or some one time act?
Or something else broke and the spiders are the victim?

BFH? lol
I believe I have the other bolt , can not find shim .
Let me know what to do or who I should send to ?
Also cost of mach. work and parts.
Nothing in this world is free, and I don't expect either of you to foot MY bill.
Much mahalo for both of your help, Be expecting Kona coffee & Mac nuts coming your way ASAP. C

Usually in my experience, a cone SG starts with the cones bottoming out and no longer is a SG. With high HP and burn outs spinning only one wheel, the small spider gears start creating so much heat they weld themselves to the shaft, which in turn causes the shaft to spin, shearing of or breaking the pin holding it. With continued use, the case where the shaft sits, wear the hole bigger. In this case it looks like a foreign piece got in there and ground up everything. Maybe a gear tooth that broke. When we find the black box we will know for sure. lol
Feel free to send it here if you want. I wont charge a dime. I'll do it because I want to help you straighten some of this mess out. At least when we're done, you'll have a good working sure grip.
I am in need of some seat covers for my 64 Valiant, but that's gonna be hard to find. I'll be glad to do it just to help you out.
FYI. Since shipping that thing cost a lot. You can send it state side in a Medium flat rate box. As long as it is apart it will fit. Now once it is assembled, it will no longer fit. Then?
I got 2 near new seat covers for a 66 or 7 Cuda seat, Kind of light gold in color. bought for my 67 but went black. If you want them their yours . were mounted on foam then taken off. Not perfect but nice.

PS thanks for the Wiper blades, Came 2day !
I'm amazed how You can get a package from Florida to Hawaii in 2 days!
Will do. We're still short some parts, but I can get the conew straightened up and machined.
Make sure you send the two small spider gears. I want to look at them to see if they can possibly be reused.
