Sweet deal on a d30!!!!

thats where my lawnmower axle went!!!! Sully why did you do that?? :lol:

 

[88Wrangles]

I'm guessing it's from something out of the 1940's.

Sully, do you know what it's out of?

Looks kinda like one of those old school quick-change rearends found in some old fords

RE: Sweet deal on a d30!!!!

In front of the axle, and to the right of the Diff., is that metal thing attached??

 

[Junkpile]

I'm totally guessing here, but is it from a 1920's/30's era "heavy duty" Ford truck?

Whatever it is, it had a transverse mounted leaf spring and used a torque-tube driveline.

 

[88Wrangles]

Junkpile, that's kind of what I was thinking. I'm actually thinking more in the 1930's now. I was helping one of my dad's friends restore a truck from that era and that looks like the same type of axle...little different though. I just can't remember exactly what year his was. It was a Ford though.

 

[jps4jeep]

Clutch or Transmission?

I still think it is a quick change ford rear, as for the year...... late 20's possibly early 30's, I think they were made by Halibrand???

 

[jps4jeep]

Maybe not... This is the rear I though it was, but I did a little Internet searching and I guess, I was wrong.

[TwistedCU]

Timken 51540 from an old Willys?

 

[TwistedCU]

Damn beat me by less than a minute :evil:

 

[White]

I think were both wrong. I looked around, Too tired ...

 

[Sully]

Getting close. It's in the 30's.

 

[Sully]

C'mon keep trying or do you all give up?

 

[TwistedCU]

Do tell...

My other hobby (obsession?)

Its a columbia 2 speed rear end. More commonly found in Mercurys and Lincolns around the 30's. They were a cool hot rod item, and still are. The long things are radius arms, kinda like our control arms. The mono spring mounts traversly mounted behind the axle.
