The U-joints cap sizes are the only difference I know of between the NP200 and 205. $800 for a driveshaft sounds a bit steep. Even Rockwell sized stuff isn't that expensive if you have a driveline shop build it.

Yes. What I do is getting a junkyard shaft that is too long and have it shortened and balanced. MUCH cheaper.

what do you mean? the yokes for a np205 are 32 spline fine and the yokes for a np200 are 10 spline course?

that driveshaft price is from high angle driveline, with a 45 degree cv on one end and a 1410 on the other. I got another price from Arizona driveshaft and they wanted $1200 to do a double cv shaft. these joints are 2tons too. That's the going price for hi angle stuff. With the np200 im looking at angles of 10*.

Why such steep angles? Quite a few members here have done Rockwells, and 40+ tires with no issues, and certainly less expense in the shafts than that.

NP205's come in a ton of different flavors....

http://www.high-impact.net/transmiss...case_NP205.htm

I have one out of an IH that already has 10 spline shafts/yokes in place sitting on a pallet in my garage waiting to be rebuilt/refurbished. If all goes well, I will require no further modification other than mounting brackets when all is said and done.

For you, unless your going to be jacking this thing up so tall that you need a step ladder to get in...you shouldn't need a high-angle driveline.

oh never knew np205's had that spline count thanks for the info.

Well yes i am lol thats why i need either a np200 or high angle shaft. . .

Is their a rebuilt manuel online anywhere for the np200's? cause like i said before mine didn't have any shims in the center gear cluster and i find that kinda weird. . . thanks kyle

In the -34 manual it tells how to rebuild one...you can download it from the Online Maintenance Manuals link at the top of the page.
