The early shafts had a built-in spacer. The later had a removeable spacer much like a key ring. The later should be replaced at overhaul as it will be worn flat on the front side. Do not use a later on top of an early' Tom Endy

It is prudent to check the oil level in the differential every...

Most of the suppliers sell a device that fits over the ends of the two shafts. It is a small casting that attaches with the single bolt that retains the shafts. It serves the same purpose as the blob but looks a lot better. Bratton's part number 10500 $18.25 It has nothing to do with A Borg...
