Yup, a series 2 (not even 2a) Land Rover.


* the gear between the halfshaft and the rear axles disintegrated. Even the mechanics commented on the noise as that entered the workshop :)

Transfer case idler, right ?
Yeah they beefed the shaft they ran on up in 2a and later.

Apologies for the crap description, due to tiredness and a 25 year gap :)

It was the rear differential gear, that "splits" and "turns" the power through 90 degrees, and allows the rear wheels to rotate at different speeds.

Can't blame the Land Rover in my case: the 4.2l Perkins diesel engine was far more powerful with far more torque :)

Gotcha.
They're inside the diff crown-wheel carrier and called bevel or spider gears.
Yep and they beefed them up too, for 2a maybe but definitely in Series 3.

https://www.ebay.com/itm/HP-Agilent-Keysight-Label-Logo-lot-of-3-Approx-size-13mm-X-7-5mm/183244639135

$15 for three badges seems a bit much, but if you really need some, this is an opportunity.

GREAT find - thanks for the tip, bitseeker!   :-+ :-+ :-+

I just grabbed some.  There's probably a pallet of the damned things buried in a warehouse somewhere, and some day a space probe will find all those that have gone missing from old gear orbiting a distant planet in a huge clump, tangled up with the trillions of single socks that have vanished without a trace from washing machines and dryers down through the years.

Anyone in the UK going to Newbury Radio Rally?

Might head down there next Sunday and see if I can wangle some TEA bargains. Bargains as "not power tested so I'm not paying that" bargains ;)

Can anyone explain to me why Rovers typically have an offset rear differential? In other words the rear gear is offset to the left when view from the rear rather than in the center which is usual for other RWD vehicles.

The prop shafts dont come out of the middle of the box. They come out on one side. Wears the UJs less then. Also makes them easier to get to!
