I'm not Tom, but I broke a Selectro on my Dana 70.  Now I have a spare
Selectro and two originals equipment ones.   One is great and the other has
a worn race on the axle gear, and both are better than the Selectro.  I have
not been able to find a Warn for the Dana 70, nor a part that I could use to
repair my weak one.  The P.O. ran it in water and let the rust gremlins have
lunch. I understand that some Dodge one tons have a similar hub?  If any one
has a damaged warn # m194 with the center gear with a good race, I am VERY
interested.
