I have several of those messy, pumps, and go that route. I am having a hard time finding the 7 lug rims, so will replace the stud next time I have the drum & hub off...
Also, new nuts, are in order, but hard to find American made lug nuts, and the Chinese ones are pure crap. ( Plus Rich, they rattle around in my pants)
My other issue, is that my rims are made for the newer Ford pickups, and have a metric lug pattern, of 8 on 160mm, not 8 on 6.5" They fit, but you cannot use the Aluminum rim style lug nuts & washers, I had to use the older style tapered lug nuts, and torque them to 110 lbs.. that's when one broke.. WTH amigos, I got the rims & tires, almost new, for $600 for the 4.
I have 2 options I can think of: (1) Buy new rims, and haul them 1000 miles South, after paying duty at the border... ugh to that. Or, (2) Have a local machine shop, mill out 1/64th on each lug hole, and use the 32 new American lug nuts I brought down last trip.. From trial and error, it appears that 4 of the lugs will work with the washers as is, so only 4 would have to be relieved 1/64th to the rim outside. ?? So,,, I have some time to ponder a 3rd solution...??

Oh, and yes, the Warn hubs I have are the O ring style.. As you can see in the photos, I do not spend much time polishing my hubs..

The ***** were part number D2TZ1A029A. Discontinued 2002 or earlier. None on any of my locators or evilbay. But lookie what www.dennis-carpenter.com has! If I remember right there was a pin that was in the back of these *****. Don't forget them.
Lockout Hub Actuating ****
1972 -77
D2TZ-1A029-A
$11.95 each.
TK40256 HEAVY DTY HUB DIAL, RED in Dana Front Hub and Spindle His price 99.00 Those must be special. I'm going to hold out for DC at this point.
Hey guys, for the manual locking hub, would I use normal bearing grease to lube the ****, spring, and action?

Thanks Gary,
I emptied my mailbox, and will look up the 2 piece lug nuts.. Thanks for both tips... been having issues with my computer's browser, (Firefox), but solved it by using Google Chrome.. for now anyway.
The normal lug nuts for aluminum rims, use a flat washer, and have a shoulder, the old style have a taper, for centering steel rims. Since the rims I now have, are made for the metric lug pattern, the rim will fit on my hub, but p not using the lug nuts for the aluminum rim. Thanks for the tip about the 2 piece nuts.. Salud amgio

Taking the hub apart to clean and put new oil/grease. Still doing some R&D on the hub to see if it's a light amount of grease or something else to lube it for best results. I bet the other side has too much grease which is why it is hard to engage.

I could not find any of the Ford original hubs or parts when rebuilding mine, so bought direct from Warn Hubs, and ordered the HD replacement. It has the brass center, which won't break like the Ford ones. I still have my Ford ones, and do not intend to ever use them, so if you cannot find the parts in the USA, I will bring the centers North with me in late Jan, and ship them to you if you wish.?? The price is FREE, you just pay the shipping from Texas...

PM me or send me a message once you have them and know shipping cost. Glad to pay it and will look for the opportunty to buy you lunch some day.
I need to find a reason to go fishing with you after that great story. Just to be clear, I would like the fishing without the extra green sick option/pkg LOL

Interesting. The horn does Not work but I can hear the relay click when testing it and listening carefully. I hotwired the horn and the horn is fine. So you are saying there is a connection between the horn and rag joint. With this new revelation I will inspect the rag joint.

OK F250, I will drag out the old hubs today, as came across them while moving stuff a few weeks ago, opened the box to see what was in there, and Viola! Old hubs... so I know now where I put them.. Now, where did I put my camera?? Just joking, but sometimes it goes that way.. Yesterday, I needed my Roberts bits, and they are nowhere to be found..??
Now, do you need just the plastic parts? I am flying North this time and have room for the red plastic parts, but not the entire hubs, for weight reasons mostly. We fly North to DFW (Dallas / Fort Worth) on Jan 25, If you need the rest of the parts, I will have to wait to haul them North on my next driving trip....

For the O ring that goes on the red plastic lock Hub ****, does anyone know where I can find 2 of them?
Good news is that I can use mine but I would like to have a fresh O ring on the **** if possible. Roy at Torque king said they would have them at some point but they are not cheap.
