   HE'S IN TROUBLE.

   Glen has taken his differential apart to check it out. He discovered that there are a couple of "thrust washers" worn out. He wants to know what kind a rear end it is so he can order parts for it. Spicer, Dana 44. He is in need of a parts supplier..
   Cranman would you or Ted know what kind this is ? Anyone ??? It's a 1959 narrow gauge. I think it's the same as on 57 Rebuild. It is original to the unit. Below is a picture of it..

Cranman:
Everything after serial 7C-5200 should have the Dana 44. I would expect Dana for sure in a machine as new as 1959. Maybe it has been changed out at some time. Sure doesn't look like a 44...??? Ted's away for a few weeks. Don't think Dana had the pinion shaft thrust washer. Is the wear on the shims??? I lucked out once shimming to quieten down the howl in the old dodge pinion but any work on these calls for special tools and a lot of knowlege so I generally recommend they be reset up at a shop that rebuilds these as a business. I've read all the instructions and I have some of the tools, but I'm not brave enough to tackle a diff.

Looks like there's progress being made here. He was down to Mike's yesterday sizing things up got a few new measurements. It's good to have a machine to go to, measure & look at.
