NP205...all it took was a little wheelin'.....

....and now she's a leaker.

I'm looking around at rebuild/reseal kits on line. Most seem to be about the same price, but I just don't know which one would be the best quality. Any previous experience?

maybe look for a good take out that does not leak

50-100 dollars for a seal kit, vs 300+ for an unknown condition unit...I'll go with the kit. Around here (DC area) you don't find used/takeoff parts like other parts of the country.

10-4 on the west coast you can sometimes pick up a complete rolling frame for a 100 bucks, I have sold a few just to clean up the yard.

If you're going through the hassle of pulling the thing, you might do well to consider just replacing the seals. I just did that chore myself and it wasn't too bad. That way you know the unit and there wouldn't be any surprises with something new.

I just bought a seal and gasket set a couple days ago, at the local truck part/driveline shop. $25.

I've never rebuilt one but it can't be more difficult then rebuilding and engine. Here's a site that shows the rebuild process, w/pics! Good luck.

Dan at Quad 4X4 has all the bits, and manuals to do the job - http://quad4x4.com/New_Process_NP205_Parts.html Helpful guy with the knowledge to back it up. Give him a call.

if it just leaks, there's no need to rebuild anything, Barring finding any surprises, you just need to get the seals and replace them.... easy peezy

On the output shaft yoke seals make sure you stay with the... NATIONAL...brand as they are of the double lip style... CR will be a single lip,and make sure you check the yoke for ...o ring grooves as well...which may require a speedy sleeve or replacement of the yoke... front yoke is the lowest point on this style transfer case
