I recently got back from a trip through the Aurora ranges. 50km from home my front drive shaft fell off the front diff (seems it wasn't tightened up properly). I tied the shaft up off the road with a bit of wire and continued on my way. BUT with the front shaft immobilised, the transfer case eventually siezed and is now permanently in 4WD. There is a shaft running through a gear to drive the front shaft, normally these run at the same or similar speeds but without the front shaft turning the gear is stationary and the shaft at full speed. I have the transfer case out but can't seperate the shaft and the gear. So, now I need a replacement Rockwell T223. Anybody know where to find one, seems the Oka owners have bought and stockpiled them all.
Alternatively I could change to an NP205. I've read lots about the NP205 but haven't actuall laid hands on one to see if it will work in my situation. Front diff is to the right (drivers side). My transfer case is divorced from the gearbox. Handbrake is not on the transfer case, no PTO. Anybody swapped a Rockwell T223 for an NP205?

So, a warning..... don't immobilise the front drive shaft on a T223. Had I disconnected the front shaft at the transfer case, this wouldn't have happened.
