Parking Brake Delete Questions

I run micro lock on the front axle and 11” drums with e brake cables mated to a forklift e brake handle.

 

I use a lokar system for my 11" brakes.
Mounted between the seats.
this or a kit very similar: Lokar XEHB-7000F Floor Mount E-Hand Brake Kit, Boot/Cables, Black (speedwaymotors.com)

 

Is a yoke available like that so I could get rid of the Brake yoke parts?
I would love a longer drive shaft. As it is now I need to shorten the shaft by about an inch.

 

I think using the regular yoke like in my picture would gain you a little bit of driveshaft length.

 

Aren’t the splines different from a axle yoke?

 

Older 44 pinions have the same 10-spline shaft as the transfer case output, but I think the shield and felt area is different. A front output flange from a 4 cyl D18 transfer case should work. 6cyls have the small front U-joints so you don't want the front output from one of those.

It looks like Walcks sells what you need: Yolk Dana 18 Transfer Case Front or Rear (Without Transfer C

 

I might have one for the cost of shipping. I’ll check in the am.

Edit: I’ll check the seal surface. It might pay you to buy a new one.

 

I’ll take it. The one Fireball posted Is $50!

 

It’s dirty, the dust seal is mangled, and the seal surface has .002” of wear. Still want it?

 

Hang on. Let me pull one off a D18 to compare. This might be off a D41.

 

Ok, now I’ve got the right one. This sealing surface looks flatter, but it has some imperfections (that shouldn’t affect the seal).

 

I'll take it. Sending you PM with address. got Paypal?

 

The tcase in my picture above is from either a Willys pickup or a Scout (I don't remember which). The rear yoke from one of those should work.

 

For the record, I took all the measurements, and the D41/early D44 yoke will work. The only differences between that and the 4-cyl D18 front output yoke are the dust shield is smaller on the D41/44, and the splines on the front output yoke don’t extend all the way to the end, internally.

Front D18 output left, D41 right.



I can’t find a reason for the splines to not go all the way to the end. I checked the companion flange on the rear output, and they are full-extension. Both output shafts have splines that are cut beyond the face of the bearing, so it’s not for spline clearance, unless it’s a holdover from a previous machining process.
