OT'S 47-51 ??? Rebuild ??
the old trucker:
Cranman if this diff is original to the machine, would you know what the ratio of it would be ?? Mine is 4.11 & Mike's is 4.88....
Cranman:
It will be 4.1 to 1. With those aluminum sprockets you should have it made. I'd have a look inside and if it was left full of oil as is normally the case, you should be good to go.
the old trucker:
I would like to thank Retmech & his boys for going in the woods & getting the diff out & the sprockets. Cranman I got the diff home & was I ever lucky. I got those 2 "woody" sprockets to boot. Here is a pic of the banjos. The closest is the newest & the one behind is my old one. Now I have spare gears, axles & a spare banjo.

The new one has 3.91 gears, the old one has 4.11's. All the parts in the new one look good. I was told to put it together & try it as is. I plan to put in new oil seals, outer axle bearings & a pinion seal. The sprockets are a little different in thickness & shape, but nothing to worry about.
Here you can see the different ridge line. Mine is closest.http://i333.photobucket.com/albums/m366/theoldtrucker/PICT1084.jpg
Here is my old one. Notice the ridge (shown by screwdriver tip)

Here's the new ones I got. Notice the tips of each tooth. I noticed the tips are more pointy than my old one.

kpm:
ot
u should talk to ur old friend gr fishmaker he has a brand new narrow diff i sold him
kpm
the old trucker:
KPM I would ask him but I think he would want me to sell my house just for the down payment. Ha Ha.... I will get new bearings & seals for this one. It should be OK. A good trans/diff man looked at it & gave me thumbs up, plus the 3.91's should work better with the 300.
OT.
