I was gonna ask if you are getting the housing narrowed or straightened or something or if you just need to ship the center section with axles or maybe just the center section. if shipping the whole assembly you really should drain it and plug the vent hole so it doesn't leak if it gets rolled over or some other reason. if just shipping the center section and possibly the axles I would do like joedoh says, find a free or cheap pallet and make sure it is gonna hold up-put a few more nais or screws in as required, clean your parts and wrap them in something (even a tough garbage bag) so they aren't gonna make a mess in the delivery truck (those guys can sometimes be finicky about that especially when the parts stink like gear oil and its possibly in the same space as they are sitting) and strap the parts down with ratchet straps. maybe take a few pics of the parts before you bag them if you worry about getting the same parts back, then deliver to your transport company of choice. they will forklift the pallet off like joedoh says. easy peasy. good idea to ask about the reverse shipping costs too.
