Did you ever find any ?

I drove Mack oil field truck that did the same thing on one side the fix was making the axle stop longer  .

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 . 

This Truck double  reduction  7.33  with Hi-traction differential 

Timken  SD-353-W-X-7 this is of a 1943 White 666   

I took these off of a Military trailer and replaced them with 11.0020 because that what is on every thing else I have . They are steel and center on the studs and there are 8 of them   what are they worth ?

Lowes  I bought a grinder $120 and extended warranty and payed with gift card   time go's by it stops working  I go back to Lowes  I have no sales slip  they look up my Lowes club card and it shows everything I ever bought except that grinder  then she said if you used a gift card  it won't show up on here .  when paying with gift card you have to save the sales slip.

1954 military M269 wrecker lowboy  made by Pressed steel car company  

I had a set that I carried in my toolbox

After they brake you can put another set back in there are three levels of bolts that let go at different torque levels or line up the dots or punch marks and put in regular 3/4 bolts I have seen them used in oilfield trucks I have not seen any let go in mud just seen them let go when  hopping in sand .

No the housing with the large hose on the side takes two of the P194 filters. The last filters  I bought where from Rock auto just enter the filter number and see if something comes up Ebay works too . 

I have the oil filter like yours and it takes two Baldwin P194 filters  . The Baldwin P194 HD and Fram CH336PL are hydraulic filters I have used them in the past.

• A is a priming pump
• I like the original fuel lines  but  they can collapse on the in side and stop the flow of fuel so keep them a way from exhaust .I also like DOT nylon tubing as fuel line very easy .

The leaking cap is like a freeze plug  very thin if you ever brake a axle the broken stub will push out through this plug . Oil resistant RTV will work to seal a leak .

I helped a man replace a clutch in a oil field truck in the early 80's it was a mid 70's Mack R model with a 12 speed  with 14 x 24 on the steering and 12x24 on the rear it was just to tall for a transmission jack .

We cut wood blocks and cribbed up the transmission and aired up the truck an rolled it ahead replaced every thing and  rolled the truck back on the transmission . it was work but safe .

• The  65,000 rears I worked with had the large wheel  stud pattern and ran 12x24 tires
• the 55,000 rears had the standard smaller stud pattern and used 11x24 tires

The hand brake lever for the trailer is right where it should be .

You can check Ebay   # 7529309  this is what older military trucks use .

A few years back the news had a news clip on a new construction project with scrapers and the black smoke from the cat engines was covered up these scrapers and dozers look to be running real clean   .

I have bought Military  Mack 673 parts from Memphis Equipment they have a web site . Military Mack 673 came with a military # 2 bell housing

I have one that is 0.872

I have 1954 Military wrecker lowboy M269  with  s cam air brakes with adjustable  anchor pin  . To adjust the drum has a hole in it covered with a small cover (hope you have this on your drum )     with this cover removed turn the drum 1 1/2 inches from the end of the shoe lining and use a feeler gage 0.005 between  shoe and drum and tighten the locknut . Then turn the drum to the cam side 1 1/2 inches from the end of the brake lining and use a 0.010 feeler gage and adjust the slack adjuster .
