trac lock 3rd member

That is a Ford style Trac-Loc for sure without a doubt,rebuilt many of them over the years in my shop,and it's a 4 spyder type which is the good one,clutch packs are readily available,at this point I have not found anyone that makes 28 or 31 spline spyders for them anymore,I have a couple that are in parts,might have some used ones,I"ll check for you.,Jack

 

jack,thanks all i need is the driver side spider gear 28 spline. bryant at san diago gear and axle has the passenger side and i think he said a third piece that i need the plate that the cluch pack goes on to he has also. or let me know if you have all three pieces.

I must be wrong but I was thinking the spider gears were different from the side gears that mesh with the axles. Now..it has been a long while since I have messed with one of these things so I am probably wrong as usual.
I am sure I have some spider gears around here plus 28 spline seide gears as I had several of the 9" diffs. tore apart around here when I was installing the Richmond Loc-Rite.
The Lock-Rite is in a 9" 3.25 gear that is in my 71 f100. I need to pull that thing one of these days and put the open 3.0 back in there. I don't like the 3.25 anymore now that there is a 460 in the truck.

im in the same boat as you i have a 4 gear posi that needs gears to i feel your pain so i did a 8.8 rear instead worked out sweet

i have the passenger side gear and the half of the drivers side that the clutches go on. the spider gears are the small gears that are on the cross shafts. those you should be able to reuse. you just need to find the drives side gear.

 

ok bryant i have a couple of guys looking for me. so lets keep our fingers crossed

 

SO I was thinking right then? The small gears on the pins are the spiders? The one that is splined and accepts the axles are the side gears? So he needs a 28 spline side gears? Is that right?

trac locs will always have washers at the posi hat . If you have washers on the ring gear bolts it's a trac loc. take a look at kevinstangs web page.

 

yes clint i believe you are right.and i just need the side gears with the splines and also the plate that hold the clucthes . from what bryant at san diago gear and axle has told me that is all i need to convert my 3rd member.

 

mavron there are washers on those ring bolts

 

may also be an equa loc , the proof will be in the # of clutches , according to kevinstangs page. good luck, ron

 

homer, i have the plate that holds the clutches. you just need the side gear that goes next to the plate. its on the ring gear side of the posi.

 

I doubt what I have will work as it is all from open centers. I didn't think about that before.
I do have a 3.50 with a mini-spool in it but I wouldn't be near a smooth
