Alan , It would cost a lot more to rebuild than find a used replacement, and i dont know where i would find parts to rebuild,, maybe Casco or Tee-bird products ,,, but finding someone to rebuild , is almiost impossible here , and i never have tried , and dont want to , attempt that project ...Sam

I tend to agree with Alan. The used one may have problems also, it's 50+ years old! What kind of howl? What about the axle bearings or pinion bearings etc. Do you belong to the CVA? Maybe they can make a recomendation on a rebuild in your area.

SAM THERE SEVERAL DIFFERENT AXLE SPLINES USED ON THE "55". 17 IS THE MOST COMMON BUT I HAVE RAN INTO 19 AND 28 SPLINES. THEY ALL SEEM INTERCHANGEABLE IF YOU KEEP THE PUMKIN AND AXLES TOGETHER. I SHOULD HAVE A GOOD SET FOR $125. DAN

Sam: Before you go to a lot of expense, try moving the input flange of the rear up and down. It may be as simple as a loose pinion nut. John in Selma, IN
