If I am pulling the axles and putting them back in the same rear end, if I don't mess with the back lash adjustment, do I need to check anything? {Yes, you should recheck the axle end play}
what happens if it is off? {Too tight or too loose, accelerated bearing wear}
8 3/4 with a 742 one-legger. {Doesn't matter}

Not preload but free-play. Preload, like on the pinion and carrier bearings, applies constant load on the bearings while free-play allows the axles to move a little.

what part(s) are missing exactly? Just the flat lock tab with the "tang". When resolved, adj it to .010" end play. I like to go in solid then come back out to .010". Why were the axles pulled?

If there is no adjuster, somebody might have replaced the original axle bearings with the Green ball bearings. Some pics would help.
