Lower Unit gear replacement?

[Cooney62566]

Ok here is my problem I have a 1981 35hp Johnson Seahorse and while I was returning from my fishing hole this past Saturday the lower unit went to pieces on me. Well I took it a part to day to find out what happened, and from what I can tell one of the ball bearings under the clutch dog came out and got the forward gear, hmmm can't figure out how this could have happened. I have never been in the lower unit, It has never give me any trouble( this happened while I was running a top speed by the way) Know I have looked High and low on the internet to fine a replacement kit, but all I can find is for 1984 and up like this http://www.seatemp.com/index.html?lang=en-us&target=d110.html my question is will this work as a replacement and if so where the heck would I find another ball bearing for the clutch dog? Any help will be highly appreciated thank you...

Try looking on Ebay. They have a lot of L/U and you may find one fairly reasonable to fit your motor. I have gotten 2 for my outboards there and have had no problems. 1 was for my evinrude 6 HP fisherman and the other was for my 75 johnson 40 HP.

I hope you find a lower unit.Basically the ball bearings cannot come out of the prop shaft.Unless you take the case apart.<br /><br />DHP

Well what I was thinking is if I can't find a lower unit then i'm going to have to get a lower unit gear case kit, because the motor runs to good to part it out. I'm thinking that all of the components were warn being that this is an old unit(1981) so if I replace forward, revers, pinion, clutch dog and all bearings, I'm thinking that this should take care of the problem. What do you guys think? only think is I can only find 1984 and up. will this work for my 1981 model? http://www.seatemp.com/index.html?lang=en-us&target=d110.html
