Hi I am new to this forum. I hope this is the right page for this post.
As the title says the problem I have is with a Fastrac 1135.
The rear prop shaft sheared off at the diff end. So got it back to the yard. After shunting into work bay noticed one year wheel was locking solid. The rear axle now being undriven. Removed rear diff etc. All through removal noticed no damage at all. Reduction gears Ok. Half shafts Ok, you get the picture. Removed diff, spotless very good considering age and hours. Cant se anything to worry about.
What I was wondering is, when the prop sheared it took out all of the wiring,oil and air feeds to the diff. So if these are all removed and the axle is being dragged along, can this cause the clutch pack to lock up. The pack for I assume limited slip and diff lock?
If any one has any suggestions would be very happy.
