Kelly, I really should not draw freehand --- see if you can make
sense of the scribble. Neil.
Neil and All,
Not sure I am visualizing the shape of the of the cup
to encapsulate the
1mm thrust washer but would certainly be a customer if
Randy Kempf were
to gear up to produce them........How about sketch of the
proposed shape
for those of us that are somewhat mechanically
inept...........<:)
Kelly Troyer
Bobby,
Sorry I misunderstood you. By all
means contact
Randy as he may be able to fit you in. He has a complete
reduction
drive of mine there to measure, and certainly has the
machinery to make
same.
Neil.

way is what I did, was to put a temp sensor in the pSRU
which will let you know if all is not well with elevated
temps. This is standard in heavy trucks, One in the gear
box, and one each in both diffs. Simple and effective.

put a magnet in the return line to catch any metal, but only
got the "fuzz" you are talking about so simply removed it.

suggested the same solution. It would allow for replacing
the 1mm washer if needed. I’m thinking aluminum instead of
steel to minimize any wear on the washer outer edge if it
rotated. I would like to start using my gearbox chip
detector again. The 1mm washer shaft contact caused enough
fuzz to activate it every few hours so I removed it. Would
this be an item Randy Kempf would consider supplying? We
need four in Austin TX and I’m sure others would retrofit
if the part was available. The cup OD would need to
increased but I think we have plenty of room to accommodate
modification.

      Tried my bearing blokes with no joy,
over that size they are all 1.5mm. There is another way
however if there is room. I suggest a small alloy (or
steel) "cup" with mounting flanges like the washer you want,
except in the middle the 1mm washer fits flat against the
mounting plate as usual, and the cup then tapers upwards
(after the 1mm thick retaining hole at the bottom ) and out
slightly (for say another 3mm?) to prevent the 1mm thrust
washer to "jump out of bed" and moving sideways. If it does
move forward the taper will force it back into place when
the load comes on again. My $0.02 worth,
