Ouch, This doesn't look good

Cleaned up

And what the chunks look like, 7 broken rollers and some misc. cone parts

The culprit can be seen with the camera inserted and a chance pointing to the right spot

The rollers had climbed up on each other and broke the bearing race

The housing was also broken making it unusable

This is the housing that contains the serial number, which will have to change now

We found one in a similar date range that has only been laying open for 30 years

A cutting torch was needed to get the brakes out which needs to happen to get the finals off

What the only brake parts still installed in this rear end looked like after removal

The transmission parts needing to be removed also required the torch to help things along

And a newer rear end from Lon Saeger hopefully will have good internals

A battle with mouse nests and several dried dead mice, but the brakes came out

The differential looks good

The transmission parts will need cleaning but also look nice
