Ford 5000 SOS Direct Drive Clutch Hub

[Bern]

I would like to see a new one too

I dug through my box of SOS parts and found this DD clutch from a 4000. This tranny is (was) brand new, never used, but got quite a bit of rust inside from sitting around. You can clearly see stains and pitting in the area between the seal ring area, however it's cosmetic only and if I was a blind man I can assure you that I'd never feel it with my finger.

Notice the relatively rough surface finish where the seal ring rides. I'm thinking that's intentional so that the seal ring grabs the housing and rotates with it.

Would that work in my 5000 tranny? If so i bet my bead blaster would clean it up and then some green scotchbrite. It would be like new

Jerry.. I wish you had your two 5000 SOS trannys tore apart so we could see what your Direct drive clutches look like in yours.
And I'm Springfield, Oregon not Texas

Oregon! Even farther

Looks like just a straight lathe turned finish across with no honing or anything. I'd be 99% confident a good cleaning / bake, apply something like Devcon Plastic Steel epoxy and turn down to match surrounding areas in a lathe would fix it up just fine. The rings should not be rubbing on it 99% of the time and the pressure it seals is very modest.

Sorry got you and the dog confused

 

[nashranch]

Are you gonna sell me that hub Bern?

Are you gonna sell me that hub Bern?

I can't, mine is from a 4000 and the part numbers are different, for both the DDC assembly as well as just the bare housing.

 

[nashranch]

Oh i looked them up and they were the same

You must be using a different parts catalog than I am.

 

[nashranch]

How much would you pay for a good used direct drive clutch housing?
