440 / 1010 finals

[Bobsawer]

Has anyone out there ever tried using a 1010 final drive on a 440 ? I think in an earlier post Lavoy says the case is the same but the clutch shaft is a different length , so can the shaft be changed or are we getting into that twilight zone of " maybe/maybe not " ?
My final got into the " Wonderful one horse shay " situation where a bearing came apart and then other stuff happened so it looks to me replacing might be wallet-friendlier than rebuilding

Any info or leads on a final available in the New Hampshire area would be great !

Early 1010 and very late 440 will likely interchange, anything other than that will require cobbling. If you mean that you are going to buy a complete used final, one thing to remember. Nothing say the final you buy is any different than yours was 15 seconds before it exploded.

KenP...I've heard of those guys in Antrim and have their number but had sort of forgotten about them , so that's a good idea . I'm not in a huge rush but hope to get it back together before winter and that's always looming in the distance.

Lavoy...Some real words of wisdom there , nothing like tempting the fates is there ? I thought if I got a replacement I'd put new bearings and seals , does that make sense ?
