I get asked this question about once a week, "What birfield do I have in my landcruiser". So today I was cleaning my garage and this is what I found. From left to right the big one is a fj80 91 on up, 89/75 fine spline disc brake, 75/68 corse spline drum brake, 67 ball & claw drum brake, And yes I do carry all of them for trail spares:flipoff2:

The birfields don't look to me like a, "most commonlay":flipoff2:

Sorry Charles I dont have of a pic of a dana 30 stub shaft for you:flipoff2:

you said stub!:flipoff2:

and shaft

Damn, he edited "Gerage" too. Brenda must have told him about spell check.:flipoff2:

You have to forgive me my spelling sucks, But I do have some good news I just save a butt load of money by switching my car insurance to Geico:flipoff2:

:cool:

Your missing two... the 9/75-1/79' birf is different than the 1/79'-1/90' (easily adaptable) and there are at least two different 80 series birfs, ABS tone ring, etc. ;)

A ball & claw trail spare ??? :eek:

heck yeah, for those times when we're gettin it in the 45 pickups!:laughing:

I would have thought that the claw end would :nuke: before the splines could twist like that :eek:

i wish i could take credit for that one but it came witha bunch of extra parts in the back of the zebra.....:D

That is actually a very helpful post. I've always heard about the difference, now when I pully mine out I'll know what I've got. "Props yo, you my dog!"

I was also telling Phil on Saturday about the 'thicker' drum brake birf, the one made from 11/72 thru 8 of 75. It is noticably thicker on the flats than the 68-71 model.

That brings us up to 7 models.:)

AND you forgot the fine spline ball and claw axle.:p

I'll have to look through my collection and see what I've got...
(didn't know there where different coarse splines)

Blue , post pics of the longfield drum birfs.......

Mark can admire them online.

I can't remember which ones I got from you John... they all kind of look the same now :emb:

Do tell Mark :smokin:

Fine spline ball joint front axles offered in foreign market [limited US availability] from 1968 thru 7 of 71 as I recall. One of my old cruiser buddies runs them in his 69 with an ARB.

Every once in a while I still get calls for them. :shaking:

Hmmm... I learn something new everyday, I had never heard of a FS ball/claw :cool:

I have seen the early drum birf differences, though the picture really illustrates how different they are.

Anyone have a pic of a fine-spline ball/claw?
