sm 420 and 305 tranfer case

[61K10]

can you bolt a 305 transfer case to a sm 420 trans? sm 465 trans output different?

sorry wrong place. should have been in reg 4x4

I am guessing you mean an np205 transfer case? i have never heard of a 305. if so, there was never a factory application with a 420 and a 205 that i know of. the bolt pattern on the adapters are different. i am sure it could be accomplished, but i dont know how difficult it may be.

if you want to use your 420 you will have to use a divorced 205 t case from an old dodge pickup, they have the front output shaft on the passenger side..or you will have to use a sm465 with a married t case.I see you are real close to me,

It can be done but at what cost is it worth keeping the sm420.
A/A makes an adapter to convert the 420 to 23 spline round pattern, you could then source a dodge 23 spline np205 and it should all mate together.
I would just switch to an nv4500 and a 241 or 205 combo.
That is what I will be doing soon.

Ditch the 420, the replacement parts are near non-existant

thanks guy's and i did mean a 205. I have a pto on my 420 will it fit on a 465? I just put all new bearings in my 420 and was just wondering. also my 221 is pretty noise, here again just looking for other set-ups.

Yes Jim, I'm out bt holiday market

I am not far from Poor Reds, I have a divorced 205 tcase from a dodge, I will see if my son has any plans for it, will see him this weekend, if not I can make you a deal...

son wants to keep it

No a pto from a 420 will not bolt to a 465 with out a gear change.
An international or dodge remote 205 would be your best bet. Or use a pto on the NP205.
If you were not so far away, I have the remote 205 with cross member or my t221 witch is not noisy and a complete bearing and shim kit to rebuild the spare t221 in shop that I would part with.

How hard is it to find a PTO for a 205?

Easier than finding one for an SM420, maybe harder then finding one for an Sm456.
I have three I have picked up over the years and no I don't want to part with them.
