| They will allow it, but I refuse to use a cub rear end, as 95% of what is pulling are cubs....lol! I have had good luck with the Simplicity rear end, I have just heard of the solid axle and would like a bit more peace of mind. |

| just take the diff end apart and flip some of the planet gears and it locks the diff. it only takes a few minutes and is easy to reverse. |

| Thanks, Dakota Dave. I appreciate the help. I had heard guys twist the axle tubes and that is why they put a solid axle in them. Cheers. |

| I have one that twisted the axle tube when i took it apart it had been cracked 2/3 of the way around and the key ways were realy worn. You can get a new tube from sandy lake. You just split the case and you can get it out. |

I have exactly what you are looking for. 3 speed transmission with solid rear axle. Heavy duty hubs with adjustable hitch and weight bracket. Cost $500 to build axle and hubs. Would take $250 for the whole rear end (wheels not included).    |
