How about a pic of the caged roller bearing in the bore where the pinion shaft was removed from?

Was there a shim Under the Outside Diameter of that ball bearing, if there shim rests on the shelf in the case?

That's what I figured from your explains in previous posts.

When you remove the pinion shaft with top bearing attached would you post pics of the caged roller bearing pressed in the bottom of the gear case bore hole that the shaft came out of and also pics of the race on the pinion shaft that roller rides on? Check and see how loose that caged roller is it might also be worn?

Look for shims underneath the top ball bearing not shown on the parts diagram. Been there done that.

Thanks

Pete,
This is the foot off of my basket case motor. The upper bearing just wasn’t feeling good and had a slight amount of play. Figured I better get it sorted. Bearings and seals arrived today so hopefully I can get some work done in the next few days.

In the other foot you rebuilt did you replace the top ball bearing?

Is this rebuild gear case still apart?

If so I would like to see pics of the caged roller bearing in the bottom of the pinion shaft hole and pics of the condition of the pinion shaft race that roller bearing rides on. What is was the condition of that caged roller bearing?

I know what your thinking. Can’t you find time to clean your work bench. The answer is apparently not.

Regular old Nason automotive paint from a spray can, same as most automotive paint stores sell for touch ups.
I was going to go krylon but I figured this would hold up better once cured.

Excellent job, what brand and type of paint?

Not a boat part…but it didn’t come out bad for single stage paint. Shot in a dustbin of a garage.

In my elbow. Version 2.0 could have an old socket welded into the end of the pipe.
