When you're in the market for a transfer case, you want something that’s not just a box of parts thrown together. That's where the Zumbrota transfer case comes in. These things are built to last, and I mean really built. With over 150 years of combined experience behind the scenes, the craftsmen at Zumbrota take pride in restoring these units to a condition that feels just like new.

What sets them apart? Well, for starters, they don’t just slap a new coat of paint on and call it a day. Each transfer case goes through a rigorous inspection process. They check for cracks, stripped threads, and any wear on the gears or chains. If something’s not up to snuff, it gets replaced. We're talking about a full rebuild here, with all bearings, seals, and viscous couplers swapped out for fresh parts.

And let’s talk cleaning. Zumbrota uses a unique hydro-blast rinse and sandblasting technique that gets every nook and cranny spotless. This isn’t just for show; it brings the cases back to that OEM-like finish that you want under your vehicle. After that, they run a thorough spin test to make sure everything shifts smoothly and quietly. They really put these units through their paces before they ship them out.

Worried about damage in transit? Don’t be. Each transfer case is packed in a high-density plastic tote, so it arrives at your door in perfect condition.
