Can you identify this transfer case?

DCXterra · Apr 20, 2015

These are the only pics I can find of it, but this is what's on the inside of that case, all of it is home made. Are the driveshaft angles still crap?

So it runs two #80 or #100 chains in it?

FlatlandFSJ · Apr 21, 2015

Looks like 2 #60s.

I would not be surprised if it was a kit, or pieced together kit from http://powerproracingproducts.com/categories/63.html I did some more digging on it, seems to be pretty reliable. Most people upgrade them to 2 #80 chains, or 3 #60. The TIG on the sprockets looks pretty good.

I'd run it a while. Beat on it and when it breaks we can call you Lt. Dan...

that's funny I've got a chaindrive rail buggy that has #80 chain that drives the wheels and it's got a whicked sound when it's going about 60

but it's pretty strong and it will climb a tree

I'd bet it's not in close proximity of your nut sack either though.

it would be just as bad on mine. It could hit you in the back of the head.

fordcontraption01 · Apr 21, 2015

id run it till it breaks myself. I'm kinda wondering how you get the slack out of the chain? That's probably why it's a little noisy. My buggy has got jack plates that lets it stay tight. Also wonder what the ratio they got that case made for?

So... you gonna raise hell since he told you it was an scs? Whether it lives or not, that's pretty low to make a false claim like that.

Here ya go man: http://www.hardlinecrawlers.com/forums/index.php?topic=33380.0

Looks like the guy who got it from: http://www.hardlinecrawlers.com/forums/index.php?action=profile;u=3649 , feed you a line of bs if he said it was a SCS, because the OP never stated such.

FWIW, I'd put some real tires on it & run the **** out of it... IF I fit molaugh

SCS stands for Sketchy Chain Setup in this case

I saw that add when it was for sale originally. Looks like with a little rework here and there it could be a pretty legit setup. Does it run and drive? Got any videos of it in use?

99wranglersport · Apr 21, 2015

I'm not gonna say anything to the guy I bought it from. It wouldn't do any good anyway. The buggy has a lot of good parts and runs good. Its my first buggy and it was cheap so I can fix it up and beat on it for a while and find out what I like about it and don't like so I can find a buggy that more suitable for me next time. Someone asked if it still had crazy driveline angles, it kinda does. It has a front end for the rear steer and they left the differential in the stock location. I'm gonna put some better tires on it and I'll post some pics and maybe some videos.

creepycrawly · Apr 21, 2015

Where do you live or ride? Id like to see it in person some time.

99wranglersport · Apr 21, 2015

In East Texas. We usually go to Barnwell Mountain because its only 2 hours away. Ive been to Hot Springs a couple of times and wish I had more time to go again.

I would think the way its built with the full side that comes off, it is set up like a timing chain. Put the chain on sprockets then sprockets on the shafts. I wonder if you could put a silde on it similar to a timing chain one

Im with this guy tho , run it til it breaks. If you are really worried about losing your legs or nuts,plate the case again and :driving:
