on the steering clutch discs for the d6 9u known as THE HOOD, one side of the disc is woren compared to the other side. (not the steel discs) so i took 8complete steering clutch hubs)of them apart today and which is the side that wear so when i reassemble the good discs, which side should the thicker side be. fork side or final drive side???

From what I have seen they tend to wear a little more on the opening/closing side (towards forks) but there is no hard rule about this. It's the stack height that counts. Do I read you right, you took eight hubs apart searching for good discs??? Seems like the hard way of getting there.

yes, i took eight apart, the fellow i got these cats from had extra hub in the shop, so when a cat gave him problem just change the hub and in the off season fix the hub with discs. i'm finding that the discs are thicker at one end of the hub, so i have picked thru and got 24 steel discs and 24 good discs. plus the inter and outer hubs too. it was -34C today, so inside the shop with the wood stove going placing with discs is enjoyable. LOL
i priced out discs, hubs and springs from general gear and it would be over $3000.00 landed in the KINGDOM. that is worth more then the whole cat, LOL
we have a week of extra cold weather so it was good planing on my part to have THE HOOD in the shop, going to get a lot done this week, LOL

Hello koo
I have just about read your all of your writings on your website and was just wondering. Have you ever finished writing the rest of your southern bell illness story. Its really none of my business but the story was certainly turning into a mystery. If the conclusion is in your book I will get busy looking for a copy. I hope the ice freezes up your way. So far my son has been waiting 10 years for enough snow to go 4 wheeling. He's still waiting. Maybe we just need to go on a0cat train tour for a week to get a real good dose. See you virtually later

196200, southern belle is doing better and the canadian doctors know nothing. i'll be updating the story on her illness. thansk for asking.

glad he got to enjoy some snow, long wait, LOL

the KING got luckly today, big time, LOL. i was changing the seals on where the shaft goes through the crown gear and found a toasted bearing. of cousre it is the hard one that you can't see behind the crown gear. so i worked my magic with the torch and it popped off with a couple of taps.(remember i can only see about 1/4 of an inch of this bearing) i was so lucky that the torch never even came close to the shaft. then i used my GREAT WHITE NORTH power pack and pressed on a new old stock bearing on.
it was a good day in the KINGDOM and only -35C.

Hi KoO,
Yes you were lucky on that one. Nice radial cutting on that inner race. How about the other side????
