Checked over this borg Warner 1356 transfer case. The cases come in F series such as broncos and everything from F150s to 350s. The bearings are massive and have no play whatsoever. The only weak point of these cases is the floating oil pump. The bracket that keeps the pump from spinning on the shaft is steel and slowly works through the case. This one was half way through so I welded a larger end tab to it to keep it from wearing through for the remaining life of this case. These cases have a lower low range than the more popular NP205, they're also significantly lighter because of the case.

Finished replacing the bent beam on the tounge of this trailer. I've still go to go back and gusset everything to reinforce it. It also still needs the new axle reinstalled and rewiring.

Sometimes you have to make a spot for stuff. This tire carrier wouldn't work where it would usually be bolted. So I attached it elsewhere by welding and gusseting it. This is just tacked in place to check tire fitment and then it was fully welded later. Measure twice and you don't have to cut it off later!

When was the last time you maintained that trailer sitting at your house?
Maintenance can be time consuming but critical to trailer life. This hub is starting to leak grease out the back seal. The backing plate has plenty of life left, but once the grease from the hub gets past the seal and onto the shoes, you'll need a new one of those too. This was caught early during maitainence so now extra costs to repair and potential failures can be avoided since all that needs to be addressed is the seal.
