Hello, looks like your finding out know one wants to help or doesn't know. I tried this question a number of places including here, with no luck. I have spoke with some other pullers and found no replacement unit for these. I was told to shim up the differential side gears in the carrier. If you go to tight they break if to loose it doesnt hold very well. I rebuilt mine and added shims to tighten up the wear. I have been going to try some other options but have not found the right parts. I hope someone else will jump in here and have more info, I too would like to have some sort of locking mechanism. I have worked for a GM dealer a number of years and have rebuilt all types of locking units, but still have not seen one that I could even machine to fit in an 88. I did see an ad for one , but after talking to the person he was only shimming the unit up. Anyone can do that. Hope this might help.

Jason -

What you are saying is correct. There is no one to my knowledge, who is actually replacing the differential inside the rear-ends of these old tractors. This is not to say that it can't be done. Someone out there may have done it, but the people that I know (myself included) are running a shimmed up stock differential thus creating a more appropriately named "limited slip". As you are well aware, it is a fine line between shimming too tight and getting absolutely no benefit! I have always shimmed until I could just barely turn one wheel with that side of the tractor jacked up off the ground. It seems to work out much better than no shimming, but it is somewhat noisy when turning in the pits! In addition, I can never be accused of running a "locked" rear-end.

Regards,

Goldsburg
