:) Looks like you'll be taking a tranny apart. Not too bad though. There are links for the transmission manuals someplace here on RS. Pics would be pretty neat. Good luck.

already fixed it the rearend is locked when it broke it made the axle look like a drill bit the twist had to be fenomanal.for it to do that has anyone else had similar problems.what is really odd.the hub didnt break.i did inspect the gears and shafts to see if something happened there but all is good.

I have never broke a axle only outer bearings and my C-121 can weigh up to

2000 lbs at times but mostly pull at 1400 lbs and have pulled 6000 stone boat.
