Thank you, thank you, thank you. I will learn to live with it and maybe one day I will install Saginaw steering.
1962 f134 fresh off frame build. I have 31x10.50x15 tires and a completely rebuilt Ross steering system from the knuckles up. It is very hard to...
My old pinion seal says ASD 142235. Is this a Willys part number? Came from a 3B D25. Anyone know a National equivalent ? Thanks.
The new bearing will be the front pinion bearing. I dinged the original and instead of taking a chance I decided to replace it. Might make my...
Carrier installed with a little dead blow hammer persuasion. Pinion preload is 10"# as best I can tell with my little torque wrench. I have a new...
Second attempt .[IMG] [IMG] [IMG]
I'll check everything again tomorrow. I'll try to get better photos. I don't understand the question about how tight the carrier bearings are. Thanks
[ATTACH] [ATTACH] Here are photos of the contact pattern. The ring gear backlash is .003. What do you think? Thanks
The gears were used in a complete axle that I bought. I don't know the history but the teeth on both R&P looked good but there was some slack...
I will install and check contact pattern.
Sorry, 5.38
Both gear ratio's are 5.88. The R&P are not a matched set. When I opened the differential the wear pattern actually looked good. I will try to...
what will happen if I run a front axle with mismatched ring and pinion numbers?
I found that properly setting up a ring and pinion is a very difficult task and takes an amateur like me days of trial and error. I really don't...
Just the pinion and related bearings, seals and shims. Everything else is fine.
Got the differential apart. The pinion was completely welded to the bearing. Scrap. I finally found a complete D25. Shipping may be an issue.
As it turns out the front pinion bearing was spun welded to the pinion shaft and had to be removed with a cutting torch and chisel. The housing...
There is no joy in Willysville. Will post pics. if I can figure out how to upload to photobucket from my phone.
Well, this is very embarrassing but I guess I have to confess. I did not have a mechanical failure, I had a mechanic failure. It seems that I did...
Evidently it was in 4wd but the hubs were free. It will not roll now with the hubs engaged. It was not making any noise before this happened....
