When Kinarfi and I took apart my front differential, we found one of the washers that slip behind the spider gears was missing (there were only 3 installed from the factory--guess it was lunch time when it can to install #4). I was wondering if any of you out there who have spare parts or have had to tear theirs apart may have an extra one of these washers I could buy off of you. This is the spherical or curved washer and one is supposed to sit behind each of the 4 spider gears and acts like a bearing/bushing between the spider gear and the cone they sit in.

Kinarfi and I have been trying to find one that would work from a driveline shop, but not having much luck so thought I would throw it out to you all. I do have the dimensions if you are not sure if you have the right one. Thanks for looking and let me know if you find one you would be willing to part with or if you have other ideas on where I might find one (silverbullet didn't have one).

I have a thought that should work. The stock washer is fairly soft like mild steel. I think if you can find a piece of bearing brass (I think it is Brass 360) in sheet that is the same thickness or within a couple of thousands. that you could make one. Brass would be my first choise but a piese of mile sheet steel would probably work ok too. First drill a hole in it to the same size as in the existing washers. Then cut it into a washer maybe 1/8" larger then the stock washer. Take this blank and put it into the spider gear housing in between a spider gear and one of the curved surfaces the washers normally seat up against. Then put a short pin thru the spider gear and washer and into the housing to align things. A short bolt that doesn't stick all the way thru would work fine. Cut one off if you have to. Put the head of the bolt against the inside side of the spider gear. Then use a press, big c-clamp or whatever you can come up with to push on a pin coming from the opposite side of the housing thru the pin hole and seating against the bolt head and press the spider gear up against the inside wall of the housing. A lead or soft steel hammer would even work to form it. This should form the washer into the spherical shape you need. After you get it pressed to shape, strike the head of the bolt while the washer is still in between the gear and housing, with a heavy more solid hammer a few times to take out any spring back of the newly formed washer. Now, trim the outside of the new washer to the correct size and you should have it.

Jeff,

There is a guy on Ebay that sales Joyner parts out of Phoenix. I believe he is the guy that bought all the broken diff parts at the Joyner Company liquidation sale a couple of years ago. Bring up one of his auctions on Ebay and shoot him a question.

I tried contacting him over the weekend via email for something else but has not responded. If you get a response, let me know and I will do the same for you.

ROCMOC,

I got a message back wihting a couple of hours today from the "jefferyphx" guy with all the bits and pieces...don't know if you ever heard back from him regarding your inquiry but seemed to respond fast to me...unfortunately did not have one of the washers I need or at least he doesn't know if he does as it does not have a part number.

He never wrote me back. Now looking back, Lenny & I should have bid more for some of the parts. I tried to buy the clutches and they must have had deep pockets as I was the under-bidder with a health bid. Some of these guys were just buying to make a buck and were not really car/off-road/toy guys. Oh well! Thanks for letting me know.

Casey is a good guy. Was a big help back when Team Joyner was still in buiness. He and his boss/business partner bought a lot of stuff at the auction. They outbid me for the clutches.

Casey from JMC referred me to a guy named Chris who has done some work on joyner differentials. He is checking through things (Junk box) to see if he has one...said he very well may have one and would get back to me. Will keep you posted.

Jeff

Can you PM me his number?

Thanks,

      2004 250DL DIRT DEVIL. Hey y’all, I already know this is a long shot. But I am looking for a the “prick gear” assembly that makes reverse work for my external reverse gearbox. OEM PN D250.08.103 and its assembly. I bought the kart as a basket case, but I saw that the reverse box was present so I was optimistic.  Upon starting working on the buggy I realized there was a block off plate in plate of there the normal gear would be. If my understanding is correct that means the transmission no longer has reverse gear. I figured it’s just a standard bevel gear and I could probably find a gear to make work, but I don’t want to spend the time making all the other housing parts to shim the gear perfectly. Has anyone spare parts, or figured out an aftermarket solution from McMaster? I already know it’ll be a challenge to get this box to be happy again, but figured I would ask

      Hello, All!  I've decided to replace the traction batteries in my 2018 Sector E1 with a 48V Lithium set. They may be expensive, but I figure the Discovery Dry Cell are, too. I am not looking for the max driving range, as I have never received near the brochured range to begin with, but a good mix of charge/ get work done/ charge is what I am expecting.
      I have settled on the 48V EAGL kit from bigbattery dot com. Each battery pack provides 30Ah. The kit ships with a charger, as well. The packs would be physically connected in parallel (using a busbar) to one another, maintaining the 48V voltage, but together would be able to provide the amp draw the buggy pulls when going up hill or towing a rake (rated 320 max continuous Amps). This is in comparison to the serial connection the eight 6V lead batteries. Each of the EAGL batteries looks to have its own BMS; am I correct in thinking I will have to use their included charger rather than (simply) changing the onboard charger to lithium mode? The chemistry of the pack is LiFe PO4, for what it's worth.  I haven't torn anything apart yet (to diagram), so  I am not sure how the dash will interpret the AMP draw, but the kit I am looking at includes a dash mounted charge indicator.
      If anyone has completed a similar conversion, do you have any tips? Specifically, how did you remove the original batteries, and how did you secure the new ones? I am guessing that almost any change from the stock batteries would involve at least some modifications. Any tips would be appreciated, especially things I may have failed to consider. Thanks!

      Onto the next problem, everything has been replaced in the charging system except the Flywheel Rotor, I have it torn apart all the way down to said rotor, but it is suggested that a specific puller is required, and a compatible rotor seems virtually impossible to find.  I can find many like it, but this one is mine scenario for those that get the reference.  For all I know I have the last Massimo Buck 400S on the planet and will never find another part again, but who knows.  Any ideas, help or otherwise that anyone might have would be greatly appreciated.

      Hit a rock last weekend and trashed my front A-arm and axle on my Outlander. I’ve been looking around for reliable sources for replacement components. A lot of listings online look a bit hit or miss, so I’m trying to figure out what’s actually worth trusting.
      Has anyone here had good luck with dealers or sites where you can buy genuine Can-Am spare parts online without worrying about quality issues or fake OEM stuff? I’d rather pay a bit more and get the right fit than deal with problems later.
      Any recommendations appreciated.
