Geoff Weeks Posted March 17 Share Posted March 17 Sure looks like I have "egg on my face", I see White in the casting. Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/74855-1956-diamond-t-730/page/2/#findComment-571580 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geoff Weeks Posted March 17 Share Posted March 17 I know nothing about White Motor Corp axles, and can find little info on them. I know they made their own, as did IHC and Mack. IHC axles were made under contract by Spicer to IHC design. I don't know if White did the same with Timken or not. I see many similarities, with the Timken design but also some differences. 2 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/74855-1956-diamond-t-730/page/2/#findComment-571582 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark T Posted March 17 Share Posted March 17 That is the White double reduction BMF model 😉 Seriously, that one picture has a marking almost looks like a Spicer diamond. Maybe it was some exclusive axle for Diamond T (White) I think they had other components with that arrangement with suppliers in the past. That must have been quite the truck back when it was made. 2 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/74855-1956-diamond-t-730/page/2/#findComment-571583 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geoff Weeks Posted March 17 Share Posted March 17 Timken, Mack and White all made double reduction, front hung diff's. They all look somewhat similar. IHC used the Timken U models but listed them under their "own numbers". Timken also made "top loader" versions of the same axles. 1 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/74855-1956-diamond-t-730/page/2/#findComment-571584 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Mark T Posted March 17 Popular Post Share Posted March 17 IDK what it is. I'm impressed by the size of it though. The housing too. That whole truck has lots of goodies on it. Almost 70 years later, guys still realize that....pretty cool it's around and running. 3 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/74855-1956-diamond-t-730/page/2/#findComment-571585 Share on other sites More sharing options...
