FORUM RULES: Users agree to these Rules when using Forum.

The site administrator reserves the right to change the terms and conditions of the user agreement without prior notice to the user. It is the responsibility of the user to regularly review the terms of this agreement.

The user agrees to the following terms:

All information that you provide to us for your membership is correct.
You will not use your membership to spam, harrass, or exploit other members in any way.
Vulgar, Abusive, Racist and Sexist Language will not be tolerated.
Commercial-type sales postings will not be allowed.
No mass posting or flooding of the boards is allowed.
No Advertising of parts or cars; no Ebay or business/commercial ads (please use the "Classified" for ads Wanted or For Sale).
VIEWING MULTIPLE TOPICS ON SCREEN: You can choose to see more than 10 Topics at a time ... Log In and choose "Preferences" from the top bar on the Forum page. Scroll down and Change the "Default Topics Returned" parameter to 25 or 50, and save the changes. Since this setting is stored in your browser 'cookies' (if enabled), it seems to use that stored value even if you are not logged in. So, if you use a PC that you haven't logged into the forum from, the setting still seem to remain at the default.
EXTERNAL PHOTO LINKS ON FORUM: You can still use external photo links in your posts on the new forum. They follow the rules of any link in that they have to have the URL link qualified down to the full image file name (example: .jpg). The links will open in a new browser window, the same as an uploaded image attached to a post. Since an image attachment to any post does not display inline with the post, the results are the same. You can use multiple external links within a post. This link is from photos on a site from Don Clink's 'Deuce@75' albums:

http://donclink.com/deuce_75_1/images/dscn2950.jpg

Using links from photo sites such as Photobucket can help in "size" issue with uploaded attachment files. For best viewing in web browsers, photos should be around the 800x600 pixel range, and probably not more than 1024x768. Most cameras today store HUGE jpg image files, as the default settings are in the 7, 8, 10, and 12Mb image sizes. The image files that are then attached are very large, and the browser can't display the full image size without using the scroll bars. Use the re-sizing functions of your photo editing software to reduce the image to 800x600, which reduces the file sixe and the image load time in the browser. Don uses Google's free Picassa3 software, which is an excellent photo management product. All of the photo albums of the Deuce, Grand National, and Auburn that are links on the NORG site were built using Picassa's web creation functions. And it's free? (THANKS to Don Clink for the info!)

Have you thought of meeting the seller half way? An overnight stay might be worth the cost.

This is a complete unit set up for a 39 -40 merc on a 116 wheel base .It has been overhauled and comes with all controls and instructions. I am travelling with a Roadtreck van and a car float. If push comes to shove I will pick it up myself . I will look for a copy of Old Autos paper as well .

Get a copy of OLD CARS WEEKLY. They usually have a list of transporters. Also, try online. As Columbia axles have been commanding a steep price, I'd be sure that it is insured before you have it carried. Good Columbias are very hard to find, at least out here in the midwest. I looked for a long time for one for my '47, and only came up with overpriced junk, and some with no controls. I've hauled fully assembled rear ends in my pickup by standing the torque tube up, blocking the housing, and strapping it to each corner of the bed. I have also transported such big pieces by renting a U-Haul car trailer. If you don't come up with a suitable transport, you might consider a road trip using a one way rental. It may be less expensive that hiring the job.

Be sure to check with the shipping companies. The entire intact assembly will likely require an oversize charge, if it is accepted at all. If you pull the banjo apart, the ring gear and axles will have to be packed separately. Your best bet may be to contact an auto shipper and keep the rear end all together. It will save you from having to reassemble the unit and spend time getting the gaskets chosen to allow the correct pinion lash. I'm sure Tom is right about the drive shaft if the rear end is, in fact, correct. The Ford shafts have a coupler at the pinion, and can be s separated by driving out a pin. If you are not familiar with the seller, it may be a good idea to have someone look at the rear end before you buy. Look in your club roster for a member in that area. Most of us are happy to help. Long distance buying is always tricky. As this deal could be expensive to ship, you need to be sure it is worth it.

The 40 Merc rear end has the pinion gear press fitted onto the drive shaft, so it will be better to ship it in one piece. If it has to be disassembled, leave the torque tube attached to the banjo housing and split off the axle housings.
