H-42 U-joint
 

Thought I had asked about this before but can't find the results??
Clip below is from parts tree, I re-typed the part # and description just because the jpeg is a little rough. Apparently the whole unit circled sold as one, I thought it was just a normal u-joint but learned that it is a "pin & block" style? No needle bearings and can't be pressed apart as far as I can tell.
Does anyone have information on what to replace this with, really appreciate any help / ideas you might have.
Thanks,
Vic

Yes, the joint comes apart. It's a common u-joint. Take it out and to a parts store and they should be able to match it up (unless they're idiots).

Thanks Jonathan, I'll give that a go, but am I right that it doesn't have needle bearings? Just want to understand what I'm talking about when I take it in.
Thanks,
Vic

Old one may not, new one may. It's irrelevant.

What is important to match up is the cap diameter and the assembled U joint width.

If the parts store doesn't have a clue, find another one that does.

Thanks guys! I now have a plan and better understanding.

Ok, I'm not trying to be difficult but got this off the blower yesterday, tried knocking one side thru even though by looking at it I didn't think it was possible, as you can see not much movement. Took it to the parts store and think I saw some items in a catalog that might be in the right direction but didn't have enough time to figure it out.
Do you still think this is a replaceable joint?
Thanks,
Vic

Yes, I still think it's replaceable. Looks like it already has been. Someone may have even had that made. (:angry:)
We may have to help you get a part number. That one is going to have to be cut out. You can't take it apart the way it is made.

Does that even have a grease zerk on it?

Sounds fun, no grease zerk, the other end is the same thing just not going bad, see pic. All help is appreciated!

PM me your e-mail address and I'll send you a Spicer drive shaft catalog. You may be better off replacing the whole thing.
