T-case work

[Pineyguy]

I did some transfer case work, nothing fancy, but figured I'd post it. My truck has an NP205. I replaced all the seals and gaskets, the e-brake band, ground the rear shift rail for twin stick operation and gave it a quick coat of enamel paint. I ordered a generic gasket and seal kit from ebay, and the brake band from Frontline. My case has a pto and there was only 1 gasket in the kit for that, but I needed 2 (there is a spacer plate.) I ended up reusing an old one that came off nice. All the bearings looked good. The twin stick job was easier than I thought it would be. I used a thread from Pirate for instruction. Just a couple pics from after I got it re-mounted:




Ignore the cotter pin jammed behind the bracket, I just did that until I could make sure the linkage lined up ok.




I made the shifters from flat stock, and some pipe. They pivot on leftover bearings from a dirt bike I sold. I'm holding them in place because the linkage isn't hooked up yet.

Kinda neat looking tranfer case handles. It might catch on.

how did you get the stock brake to work on the NP205? I remember a thread here somewhere requiring a bunch of custom machined components to do it...did you go the same route or do something differently?

I believe this was a M715 w/w that got converted to a 6217, then back to an M715. The pto and brake were on the truck when I got it, so I'm not 100% sure that's the way it went, but I figure the goverment installed it.

I took the truck out after my wife got home from work, the shifters work good, and you can't cross high and low range, so I guess I did it right. I just have to adjust the e-brake yet.

The 200 rear output bearing retainer/brake mount needs to have a groove cut in it. That lets it bolt to the 205. That is it besides the mounts.

I know I did a thread a few years ago about it as have others. I am on the phone and can't do a search for you.

On my np202 I just machined a spacer out of 3/16" stock to space the np200 ebrake housing out far enough so the bearing on the 202 clears. Was pretty easy. So far so good.

Looks good I'm thinking I want to do something similar when I get that far on my truck. .
