Hi all, Has anyone heard of howard boxes being used and modified to make the major faster as opposed to slower? I do quite a lot of road runs and would love it if my fordson wasn't screaming all the time! I have two howard reduction boxes that I wouild like to modified to make a box that increases s...

I would love to get a transfer box for it but I know how rare they are and when they do come up for sale how expensive they are! However having brakes on the front is a massive bonus for me if I am able to get some brake shoes and set them up .

The pipe just goes strait through the filter and into the what looks like a relief valve. I cannot se how it goes through the filter should my pipe have some ...

Brian thank you some really helpful info, so for some brake shoes for the drum brakes on the front axle I should look for some gmc truck parts, any idea on what model of gmc at all or where to look for parts for brakes? Yes I was going to look at doing the disk brakes and I have one small chipped to...

An that makes sense why mine doesn't have that then. Yes your right it does look good with the 1000 series tin work I'll have to have a think as tin works not cheap here either lol :roll: . Yes transfer boxes are really hard to come by, I don't know how easy it would be to manufacture something like...

An that's no problem, that's the hardest part trying to find time to get the majoirs finished! Thanks I took a look at the video and see what you ment. I was thinking of trying to make a bracket off of the axles but his idea seems to work well! I will post some pictures when I get to this point :) T...

I have added the links to some photos of it if anyone knows the make of the axle or any advice it would be great ap...
