Machining Bendix cv joints

[Owen Peterson]

I have some worn Bendix cv joints from the front axle of my Marmon Herrington Ford. Where the balls reside, there are grooves which create play. Anyone know of a machine shop that could weld up channels, cut, then heat treat? Shafts are obsolete, so options are limited.

Any chance of finding a comparable joint and welding on your spline shafts? If you're going to the machining trouble...... steve

Thought about that. Be something I would not attempt

Jay Leno probably knows a guy....

Is the play so bad that it is causing problems?

As slow as they turn, I think I would grease them up and see what happens.

Is this for a Ford truck or tractor?

It is a 52 F3 Ford with Marmon-Herrington 4wd conversion.

I could run as is, this is a restoration, it’s working days are over. Would like to fix it right, if possible.

Do you have any driveline shops in your area, they might be able to help you.
