My buddy Frank has a complete working Eaton "B" Drive complete drive unit inside-out, Top to bottom, & Ford SB drive coupler/damper, with 289 Ford Bellhousing.& transom assembly Owners manual etc.
This ia in great shape with three props and several (6) boxes of NOS & used spares, seal kits, bearings, gears, housings etc.
Everything you might need to keep it running another 20+ years!
Frank knew parts were becomming hard to find for these drives so he searched South Jersey for all spares he could find!
It was later removed for a Merc Alpha upgrade! He wanted power trim.
Frank was a boat tech.in the 60-80s This drive is almost like new!
PRICE: FREE FREE FREE !
Frank is moving to a senior center !

Been trying to call... One number disconnected and the other has no voicemail/answering machine. Can you let him know I'll take it?

Frank has informed me that the eaton drive & parts has been placed at the curb for trash pick-up on monday 9/14/09 as he could not give them away!
It would appear that few are interested in Eaton drive parts of this era.
Boatyards in the area did not want them!
Very Sad as I suspect there had to be someone who needed them to get their old Eaton up & running.
I had no need nor storage room for them myself.
His house & garage have been cleaned-out and he is now living in the senior center.

Can you not read my post below?!? I'll TAKE IT...

I've tried calling the one working number nonstop!!! No one has ever answered. I also sent you an email through the forum. Sheesh. What do you mean there's no interest??????

Ummmm...silver...go out to the street and get them before the trash man comes along. cutwater needs/wants this stuff. I will help him find a way to get them if it is a time issue. That stuff does NOT need to be trashed!

I wish I could pick-up the Eaton Drive & Parts.
BUT~
I am here in PA. this weekend!
Which is 100 miles away!
I did not go to Ocean City NJ because of the bad weather we are having this week or I would have only been too glad to pick-up these parts!
Is there anyone near Scullville/ Somers Point NJ that can pick-up the parts & drive on this Forum this weekend?
Please help this Eaton owner !
If so~
Please contact me or Fank directly to save these rare parts!
Sometime Monday it will be too late ~ It's Frank's trash Pick-up day!
Why Frank did not wait a few days to see if any of the Donzi forum members were intrested is beyond me?
I told him I would post the Free ad for him!
I do know he stated that he tried to give them away to a half dozen boatyards in the area & they told him to use eBay or throw them out as there are no more Eaton drives around South Jersey!
Frank is 80+ and is not on the web and so does not want to deal with eBay!
I feel very very bad about this!
I told Frank that this rare old Eaton drive and rarer parts should be saved as they are made of unobtainium!
I did not think he would clean-out his house & garage so fast!
