Tony if I remember corectly the Homelite outboard motor was a Crosley turned on end. If this is true there is a guy on ebay that has some main bearings for them. Don't know but it might work.
Ebay item 7761127219   

Good Luck

Good looking car and Welcome from Texas, land of 80 degree winters.

Question; What are "snow tires"?

Hello Bob,  The number for the seals I have in my 9" from a 74 Bronco with the large bearing 28 spline axels are as follows:
Pinion seal  Timken# 7044NA
Axel seal    Timken#  51098
Gasket  NAPA # NGA P-27994


Hope this helps

THe roller clutch takes all the power during a first gear launch when the shifter is in "OD" or "D".... in manual 1st gear on the shifter the clutch pack for low/reverse is applied which is much stronger


Tony, Is this also true or the 700 R4 and the 200 4R or it exclusive to the 4L60 only?

That is very interesting, I saw a similar description of a AA fuel dragster that was also very good.

Welcome, You will find that there are a lot of people with a lot of knowledge  on this forum. They are also ready and willing to help when needed.
Good people.

I mix epoxy and urethanes on a piece of glass that is 1/2 inch thick and about 10 inches by 10 inches square. When the epoxy soft sets it is a simple matter to knock it off with a razor blade scraper. An engineer with  the people that make "Metal Set" epoxy told me that using wood, and cardboard or other papers was not recommended because the paper absorbs elements from the catalyst that can cause altered properties when the epoxy cures.
He recommended mixing on hard plastics, metal, or glass and ceramics.

Johnny the way Ebay gets their money is through your credit card or debit card that you authorize for payment. They have a pricing structure that is detailed on their website. The charge for selling cars is a fixed fee with an initial charge for the listing and then an additional charge when you get your first bid if no reserve value is stated or if there is a reserve then the second charge does not apply until the reserve is met.
On items that are not a car or realestate then there is a fee for listing that varies with the options the seller selects and then there is a final value fee when the item is sold. This is all covered on the Ebay site in more clear language than I am able to do. The different options that run the cost up are enhansements to your pictures, delayed start times, reserve prices, display options, etc. Ebay sends you email to notify you before they debit your account, and they also keep records of all account acivity for you to view on line. After a while you might want to go to a photo listing site in order to save on listing fees but you really need some regular activity as a seller to justify this step, for the casual seller the Ebay picture service is best.

Let me know if you still have questions.

Pictures, Pictures, Pictures! High quality pictures will help you tell your story the best. When you make your pictures remember you are using them to tell a story, namely "This is my Street Rod for sale" .  The best time to take good pictures outside is on a completely overcast day, the lighting is subdued and even with no harsh shadows. The next best is under open shade. Open shade is the shade created by a large tree or man made object that is high enough to not interfere with the photo. With open shade sometimes a fill flash can be used to advantage. Try to describe your car so that the description can be seen in the pictures and also offer to take additional pictures as requested. On large items I also tell the bidders that if they wish I will call them at my expense to discuss the item, just email me your phone number or if preferred I will send them mine. Reserve prices are best on expensive items, you don't want to give that vintage blower away at some ridiculous price.
When I sold my coupe I talked to the eventual buyer and answered a lot of questions that were to help complete the deal.
He also at my request paid for the car with a cashiers check and informed me of the bank and check number before he came for the car. I was able to call the bank and verify the check by number, routing number, style or design of check and the amount. The bank faxed me a copy of a blank voided cashiers check to further help me identify the check. When he arrived I compared all the info from the bank, copied his drivers lic. and had him sign the bill of sale before a notary.

That was for a car but my success on smaller items has been good as well. Some of the things I have sold have amazed me with the high price they bring but I have also darn near given a few things away.

My packing is professional and I have never had an item broken even when extremely fragile.

I also research items before I list them to see what to expect and to also see what other sellers do to describe an item that sold well.

Sell your junk, I sold two used OEM temp sensors for 140 HP Corvairs that had been sitting in a junk drawer for over 20 years and were almost thrown away several times, price, $200.00 for the pair plus shipping.

Timing is critical and sometimes the luck of the draw. I do think the auctions ending in the evening are best. Some people think Sundays are best also. Whatever you do avoid holidays and Friday evenings as they seem to be the worst.

Be friendly in your auction conditions(shipping, handling, etc). I have seen auctions where the price was low and the only thing wrong was a conditions statement that was combative and insulting, results low auction proceeds. Remember you want a customer not an enemy.

Remember leave good feedback that describes your experience, don't be lazy and just grunt a simple OK or some similar worthless statement. You want to solicit good feedback from your buyer.

Last but not least, be honest, if it has warts, then say so.

I have had good luck on Ebay, I have sold a lot of things, (streetrod, engines, car parts, cameras, lenses, and more) and bought a lot of things also. I have been stung several times but have also made out real good many times.
Ebay is a daily addiction for me.
