  1. Yes I have had my own trouble with thieves in the last week or so and the thing that pi$$es me off the most is I dont have stuff all worth steeling but I have had to work fu$$ing hard for it, why dont these lazy good for nothings do the same, lazy little fu$$ers Paul
  2. Thanks for that Vlad I would have thought someone out there must no what can be changed with what I did get hold of a bloke in the states who reckoned he had the right ones and they were but the ratio matched and try as I may he couldnt under stand that 10.22 was what I had not what I was after so I gave up with him in the end Paul
  3. Fan bloody tastic Have you ever wondered about a trip to this wide brown land I reckon I could use some like for a few weeks Paul
  4. Ron I dont know whether you know this or not but most Aussie F models are FR models because they use an R models chassis only the very first used an F model chassis but that E9 F model looks like the front axle is in the wrong spot and the cab has had a major lift kit just to fit it all in Paul And I would bet vital parts of my body no F models left Mack Australia with a E 9
  5. are you sure the air pressure regulator on the box is set right ?should be only around 50 - 60 psi in there Paul
  6. thanks for that done deal I wonder what I will learn when it turns up Paul
  7. Gudday Joe my truck has full air brakes westinghouse a row of bolts around the outside air chamber Anyway Vlad I dont whether you can read the casting numbers on the housings but they sure are looking like the same type of diff to me now for the big question what is interchangeable with them ? the last two scans show some specs for timken back end in a Federal Truck 1948 it is the only reference I have ever found with close to the right specs that I believe 10.22-1 so does make them SD-3010-P ??? wonder what that number means Paul
  8. He thanks Vlad it looks like the same type of back end to me will get some picks of mine and put them up but it looks the same to me Paul
  9. Ok I was naughty boy and sought of hijacked another topic about a Brockway truck with my stupid questions about Timken Diffs http://www.bigmacktrucks.com/index.php?/topic/37655-brockway-progress/page-3 Anyway Joe Ditchkus asked me what backend I had and the truth is I really am not sure all I know is they are an 8 rod 55,000 lbs Timken made in 1942 for Federal and Diamond T Tank transporters the ratio is 10.22 and they are what we call a top mount diff like a Mack Now I am pretty sure that they are a worm drive although I have never had them apart so I'm not real sure and they have no power divider now I am chasing a faster diff ratio of around the low 5's dont no whats around I have never had any luck trying to find anything out about them so I'm not real sure all anyone can tell me is there tough you wont break them and so on Years ago I phoned Timken in the states all they called tell me was they sold Timken Axles to to Rockwell I'm pretty sure it was this was in the days before the internet I put a joey box in years ago when it was last in for a rebuild a spicer 4 speed direct in top around 2.5 to 1 in deep reduction anyway I put in backwards to give me a good over drive not real successful not enough power in the 6-71 for any load anyway enough waffle from me heres picture of the type of backend I'm talking about I have emailed the people suggested to me from BULLHUSK have heard nothing back yet might have to jump on the blower shortly just gotta get the time difference right Paul
  10. great photos there the top photo looks like the mud guard fender wing depending on what part of the world your from looks to be longer than normal those saddle tanks I think thats what they call them are they off a Reo or are just some type of generic brand thanks for sharing Paul

  15. To me if you think about it as I already have one and it will be for spares or I would like to get and restore one and it would be ideal for spares I dont think you could go wrong if the price is right Paul
  16. ok why do they have to dig deeper for the frost line ?
  17. nothing unique there Brocky I know just how he feels after all these years I still reckon she's pure heaven she aint ever let me down Paul Mate Slim Dusty sang so many good songs about trucks and truck drivers
  18. what happened to the stuff the honing tool was cleaning out I guess what Im asking is the crap you tryng to get out what stopped it going in on the other cylinders ? Might pay you to try and clean the rest of them out as well just thinking out allowed Paul
  19. ground thawed now I know you blokes are pulling my leg ground thawed yeah right they must all think Im silly seriously I never thought of that I have never tried to dig frozen ground never have seen it it's new to me our winters are that mild in Australia our trees dont loose there leaves or anything we dont have a season called fall we just have autumn up in the tropics were I live we dont have winter spring or summer autumn just the wet season and the dry season Mate that sheds looking good plenty of size but always can be bigger as my dad always "you can never have to many shed's" he is such a wise old thing and seemed to get smarter as I got older funny that Paul

  23. you put a board on the ground under the duels leave the wheels on the hub knock the axle out have the board well greased on the side facing up undo the bearings and slowly lower down on a jack until the wait is off the bearing then slide the wheels and hub together once the wheel is clear roll not quite one turn away (not so the grease touches the ground) remove board then you have a nice clean area to work do the reverse when putting it back together no lifting required and can be done on the side of the road on your own at least thats what I have done the main thing I learn from this type of discussion is how requirements are different around the world for what we need just because some thing works in our wide brown land dosnt mean it's any good else were Thanks for the discussion fella's Paul
