chevman51 Posted March 4, 2017 Share Posted March 4, 2017 I have a question. Is the 16,000lb front axle different lug pattern then the 12,000lb? I had a truck with a 20,000lb axle on the front and the pattern was different and ran a special wheel to hold extra weight. I have California spoke wheels on the front of my Mack ch613 now and want to put nice aluminum bud wheel on and I thought I could just swap axles. I attached a picture of the axle in question. This yellow truck is getting parted out on Craigslist. He wants $1000 for the front axle. Thanks!

Underdog Posted March 5, 2017 Share Posted March 5, 2017 I'd like to see a pic of what you call " California spoke" wheels. I'm not familiar with that term. If you mean Dayton cast spokes, it's a totally different hub than the yellow truck in the picture.

880joe Posted March 5, 2017 Share Posted March 5, 2017 The yellow truck in the picture looks like a CL to me and I don't think the axles will interchange Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/49000-16000lb-axle-different-lug-pattern/#findComment-363371 Share on other sites More sharing options...
chevman51 Posted March 6, 2017 Author Share Posted March 6, 2017 Yes Underdog that is what I'm referring too. My grandpa always called them a California spoke for some reason but to my understanding they are the same thing. I assumed the hub would be different but was considering putting the whole axle under my CH613, but to answer 880joe question the yellow truck is a CL700. I wasn't sure if the axle would work under my ch613 either. Thanks for your feedback.

chevman51 Posted March 6, 2017 Author Share Posted March 6, 2017 Would a front axle from a 91 Mack Econodyne work in the front of my 94 ch613? Or do I need a axle out of a CH only?

terry Posted March 6, 2017 Share Posted March 6, 2017 If you are talking a R model axle under a CH, no different width from u bolt to u bolt holes. terry If I am not mistaken I believe guys have taken axles out of DM's and put them under CH's for a heavier axle.
