As you all know, Coffee (Dean) passed away a couple of years ago. I am Dean's ex-wife's husband and happen to have spent my career in tech. Over the years, I occasionally helped Dean with various tech issues.
When he passed, I worked with his kids to gather the necessary credentials to keep this site running. Since then (and for however long they worked with Coffee), Woodschick and Dirtdame have been maintaining the site and covering the costs. Without their hard work and financial support, CafeHusky would have been lost.
Over the past couple of weeks, I’ve been working to migrate the site to a free cloud compute instance so that Woodschick and Dirtdame no longer have to fund it. At the same time, I’ve updated the site to a current version of XenForo (the discussion software it runs on). The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.
Unfortunately, the new software version doesn’t support importing the old site’s styles, so for now, you’ll see the XenForo default style. This may change over time.
Coffee didn’t document the work he did on the site, so I’ve been digging through the old setup to understand how everything was running. There may still be things I’ve missed. One known issue is that email functionality is not yet working on the new site, but I hope to resolve this over time.
Thanks for your patience and support!
Pretty much so long as you don't try and change displacement. It looks like the 81 250 is the last of an earlier design and the 430 is the first of the new design. Parts sheet quite confusing for 250 in 1981 trans sheet is cr wr and empty box. Other sheets some cr wr or, others cr wr xc in 250 coulum. Primary drive is the same that parts sheet. Sometimes the cr will have a different primary drive.
Thanks for the reply, there will be no change in displacement, i have an 81 xc main shaft, lay shaft and shift drum basically the whole transmission just want to find out if it will work, cause if not i might sell it.
