The Ford Barn - View Single Post - Early ford trans case: Rear thrust face. Repairable?

I go with Charkie. Making up a spot facer would be quite simple and a steel spacer could be pined and epoxyd to the case. Or a standard mill could have the reverse cutter on it. My onlly concern is how thick is the case in this area. I gave up on these transmissiond 60 years ago after I blew my third or fourth one. However for the restorers I believe these are fixable, at a reasonable price. At my age and eyesight , I think I could still do it. If someone had bad case I'd' TRY and fix it, at no charge. But it has to get alittle warmer, it was 16 below this morning.
