I was under the understanding they were bullet proof? Maybe not?? 

I suppose it depends on the condition of the axle. Once mine spun, I think I lost enough tolerance that there was no getting the tight enough to hold. Not being able to use a key didn't help either. My keyways were wallered out terribly. The repair hubs worked great until I put them under heavy load.

Prolly your  best bet if your not afraid to tear into it. :thumbs2:

What kinda shape is the hub in. Guessing trashed?? 

Oh yeah, the hub is trash, and pretty much was before the "repair".

Interestingly, I put a hub on it so it's a roller and was able to push it (somewhat) for a couple feet at a time as it very lightly went "thub thub thub thub thub" from the hydro. Likely each piston crossing the wash plate and leaking enough to let me push farther. I'll swap this one out and clean up the surfaces when I get the time and motivation :thumbs:

Hey Eric, do you happen to know by spec or otherwise how to identify that? I'm definitely curious.

 

There's certain year/make/models that always had Limited Slip Differential and of course,  didn't. 

 

To the best of my knowledge no 1960s 3 speed or 1970s 4 speed was Limited Slip except the early cone types used around 1964/5 (?)

 

Anything from 1974 up was an open differential. 4 or 8 speed. 

 

All 1967 - 69 six speeds are Limited Slip. 

1965 - 1969 Hydros I'm not sure. 

I believe  (?????)  all the 8 speeds & Sundstrand Hydros in 1970 to 72 are also Limited Slip Differential.  

 

Where it gets iffy is 1972 and 73. 

 

@stevasaurus might be able to narrow down those years.

I have used these as well. Mine has been working great on my zero turn for 5+ years with no issues. 

 

They are more expensive than they used to be, but worth it.
