Flood damage??

No idea as to how it ended up this way
It was a unit for refurb from motorworks.
May be able to salvage the casings

Maybe its from that ship-load of Beemers that went aground off Cornwall a few years back .

I help members of "Toyota Landcruiser Clubs" by repairing gearboxes & Transfer Boxes (and other things). A local member brought his truck over to me saying that the Transfer Box wasn't working properly . . .

I drained this out of it:

I then removed the box and stripped it down :

This is what happens when you go wading in streams in the Pentland Hills when the front output shaft oil seal has 'gone' .

A full set of bearings, springs, seals and a new 'Hi-Vo' chain cost £1,200!

I guess something similar happened to that oilhead.

I spent a few years wading in streams in the Pentland hills too, a few years back,tickling brown trout, and the inside of my knee caps probably look like that transfer case.
