number 5s
 

#3s listing these for a friend, don't know nothing other than they are in good shape , hes getting out of the boating were all into, hes super nice to deal with, complete with trans,gimbals, drives etc. 405-640-1491 not sure if theyre 5s look like 3s but don't know how to tell please help identify.

they are old #3 drives how much is he looking for

make a offer hes wanting them gone

Asking 12500.00 for everything

good luck... I couldn't get that for my 3a's and they are 10 times the drive of a 3 :poopoo:

I couldn't get $4,000 for mine

Well let's go ahead and give them away then Johnny! Lol

how do you tell if there 3as,etc I know these came on a big powered fountain, all im doing is asking a question for him, im not making a dime just trying to help him sell them, he just sold that big talon cat on here in the swap shop, he purchased these for it and prob didn't know excattily what he was buying was told one thing then sold another.

ben like I said, I don't know what theyre worth, but hell everybody says theyre to high which I agree, they should be painted and shiny, if the drives are worth 5000.00 gimbals 4000.00
trans 1500.00 then hes close, but oh well there on here so the few guys that pm me and I just told them to call him directly.

3a's have the 26 spline propshaft, and larger bearings inside. But first indicator (not the only or a def sign of it being a 3a) is the large propshaft.

Hey Johnny. Measure the anchor pin that holds the trim cylinders to the drive. A regular III will have a 7/8 pin. A 3A, will have a 1'' pin.

A 3A will have a 26 spline propshaft, but, its not uncommon for someone to install the 26 spline shaft into a standard III drive.

If they are standard III drives, used, I'd say 2G per drive, 500 ea on the gimbles, maybe 500ea on the trannys. I'd think the whole package, maybe 6-7k. These drives used to be worth big money, as people used to buy them up for TRS conversions and what not years ago. Just don't think the demand is that high anymore for them. Good drives though.

Here is a picture of my 3A's if it helps, and yes 26 spline, larger pin are the identifiers that I know of. Also I believe the skeg is slightly different. Good Luck with the sale

they make a cheater shaft to put a big shaft in small drive... so be careful... buyer beware

You may have cresent 3,s with big shafts....still not 3As though. The leading edge of a 3A lower has less curve I believe. Many people used the #4 shaft in a 3 lower before the 3A was out. Not aware of any "cheater" shafts but a big shaft in a 3 case has worked great for me for many years. Good luck with the sale.

used the word "cheater" due to lack of a better term, however the end all result is the save, a big shaft #3 is still just a #3... the upper is not able to handle the same load as a 3a... bigger bearings, etc and net forged straight cut gears are where it excells

these were going on the hustler talon cat that just sold I think on here or ebay, im just helping a friend by listing them. if anyone wants to make a realistic offer its not going to hurt my feelings.i just thought as many guys were on here they may sale, for the serious buyer I will put you intouch with him.

Doesn't a 3 and 4 have the same 19 spline propshaft?
