seannn Posted June 14 Report Share Posted June 14 Hello guys I've ran into a problem with my 720. Both of the locking hubs aren't good anymore and I need them kind of urgently because the road to my farm is muddy and i rlly need to enter to maintain my animals. Do you guys know in which website I could find the 26 spline ones. I only find 27 and 28 splines ones. Do you guys know what other makes are compatible incase I don't find for nissan. Thanks!

datzenmike Posted June 14 Report Share Posted June 14 Probably only one is bad. As soon as it stops working the other won't do anything because its an open differential. Are these manual or the automatic hubs? Quote Link to comment
seannn Posted June 14 Author Report Share Posted June 14 Automatic, But I don't mind changing to manual the thing is I wanna change both just to be sure. I'll store the old ones alteast for memories lol Quote Link to comment
datzenmike Posted June 14 Report Share Posted June 14 Have never heard anything good about the automatic hubs. No one ever swaps manual for automatic ones. Quote Link to comment
seannn Posted June 14 Author Report Share Posted June 14 Do you know where I could buy manual ones for the 720? I can't seen to find them Quote Link to comment

datzenmike Posted June 14 Report Share Posted June 14 Best bet is to get used ones from a wrecking yard. How are the automatic ones activated anyway? Quote Link to comment
bottomwatcher Posted June 15 Report Share Posted June 15 This is old but simple shit. Ancient grease locks old stuff up only slightly behind rust. Disassemble and lube this might end up a nearly free fix. I know the hubs are supposed to engage automatically but there was a procedure to disengage by shifting to 2 high and then backing up.

xxmass Posted June 15 Report Share Posted June 15 seannn i found a pretty good forum thread about 720 4x4 hubs Quote Link to comment
Logical1 Posted June 15 Report Share Posted June 15 The link to the ones listed doesn't work anymore but it might be able to lead you in the right direction and I have had them installed for over 2 years now and they are fantastic! Quote Link to comment

I still have that hub, it has not been installed NOS, but only the one Quote Link to comment
Madkaw Posted June 15 Report Share Posted June 15 Automatic hubs have worked fine for me . Probably nothing has been serviced forever in the hubs . There is a wear item in the autohubs which is a bronze washer . Granted I don’t off road but use the 4x4 often enough just when going into my back yard . Manual hubs are hard to find for early trucks and later ones too . The best ones are NLA . My try Fred Williams on the 720 FB page . He has a ton of trucks that he sells parts for Quote Link to comment
jxb003 Posted June 16 Report Share Posted June 16 I’ll sale/practically give you my automatic hubs. I converted to manual. If you search eBay the manual hubs pop up on occasion. I’m using warn. Quote Link to comment
