Need Help with 1985 big red 250es rear end (differential)!!!

No. To find that out, I will need to go to the Post office with the diff in a box and have them tell me. I have tried the internet shipping estimator and found it to be grossly inaccurate. I'll go there tomorrow and do just that and get back to you tomorrow evening.

I will predict about 40 bucks shipping. Is your propeller shaft out right now? While your diff is out, this would be a good time to clean up the end of the propeller shaft where it slips in to the diff. The outer surface is a sealing surface. The seal on the propeller shaft end is called a water seal. Its job in conjunction to the rubber boot is to keep water out. If the boot is damaged or the propeller shaft sealing surface is badly pitted will allow water to seep in to the diff. That's bad!!! If you boot is damaged it needs to be replaced. The ES boot is discontinued but the SX boot will work and it is still available for about 20 bucks. Basically the same boot but the molded angle is slightly different and in lieu of any other boot is better than a torn boot.

Boy did I call that one. Since the diff is over 4lbs, it has to go Priority at 41.00. Sent regular in a plain brown box would be 58.00 so priority it is. Tell you what, my position at work has been eliminated so at the end of the month I am unemployed so I really need to sell some diffs. I have the ES diff and an SX diff ready to go. I'll sell you the ES diff for 360.00USD shipped to Canada. How about it?

Anybody interested in an SX diff completely rebuilt and powder coated. If so, hit me up. I have one each in tubs waiting to be rebuilt. Beyond that I'm out of diffs and out of carbs with the exception of 1 350X carb ready to go. I have a couple other 350X carbs waiting to be rebuilt and an 85 TRX250 carb (QA04A) waiting as well if anybody is interested.

What really sucks about losing my job is I will be losing access to the bead blaster. I will eventually buy my own but until I find another job, I go without my beloved bead blaster. I use the crap out of that thing. I've been buying all the glass bead and other supplies to do what I have to do with it. It's really hard to do a frame off rebuild without it. I'm just whining at this point......... In case you're wondering, I have an Econoline pressure fed cabinet at work. It makes easy work out of it and there is no comparison between a syphon fed vs. a pressure fed. It friggin rocks. That's why I'm bummed.
