mrsmackpaul Posted October 4, 2020 Author Share Posted October 4, 2020 Topo is yours worm or double reduction ? Mine is double reduction and the ratio is 10.22 I have some 5.68 ? Rockwell from a Rockwell back end I bought some time ago that apparently will fit the Timken backend, dunno if this is true or not but will find out in the future Paul Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/64405-old-kenworth/#findComment-461831 Share on other sites More sharing options...

topo Posted October 7, 2020 Share Posted October 7, 2020 When putting rear tires on to bring it home I found that jacking up one axle both sides that they won't turn I had to jack up both axles both sides to get the wheels to turn . I have seen a number of trucks with out power dividers this was my first truck that had no spider gears. I got the name Hi Traction out of the Military Manual . 1 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/64405-old-kenworth/#findComment-462031 Share on other sites More sharing options...
