Those are just plain cool! Nice to see a well maintained piece of equipment like that.

Wonder where you can get tires like that now? Bet those have some years on them.

Those are Deman's plus a few other companies make them still. Those are only about a year old.
Pulled the third member out today, the outer axle flange seals were leaking along with the third member to housing gasket. Going to do a rear main seal tomorrow :-\.
Check out this craftsmanship. You don't see U joint saddles like this now a days!!
The yoke is shaped for them to slide over, then the through bolt goes through both the saddle, and the yoke.

Fits together like a chinese puzzle, eh?

I love the machine work. Manufacturers couldn't afford to even draw up the plans for something like that today. Beautiful.

Does it still have the flathead in it?? Pics? Both of my 50 Dodges have the flat 6 in them and it is amazing how well they run.

STill a flat head yes. I will snap somemore pics Monday. Took the pan off today, but then had to jump on a service for and 08 Peterbuilt 379 tri axle. Then I took it for a little scoot down the road a piece.  ;D

The seal is rubber, but it could have been changed before?
