Okay, I'm slowly cleaning up the yard since my dad is gone... so I am keeping certain things, and selling others. I was wondering what kind of axle this is so I can find out if it is any use to me. Here are a few pics to help /forums/images/graemlins/thumb.gif

There you go. I'm pretty sure it's out of a ford because of the shock mounts /forums/images/graemlins/dunno.gif
 
Re: Identify this axle!!

It looks to be a semi float D60. /forums/images/graemlins/thumb.gif
 
Re: Identify this axle!!

Re: Identify this axle!!

yea looks like the axle i just picked up but mine is full floating (ford D60)
 
Re: Identify this axle!!

yep a semi float 60, I always love, name that axle
 
Re: Identify this axle!!

I know there is better axles out there, but this is free, and would do for me until I can find a 14bff. This would hold up with 35" tires right? Should I or should I not? /forums/images/graemlins/dunno.gif
 
Re: Identify this axle!!

How do u tell if its a full float or semi, i thought some one said if u could just pull the shaft with out hassle its a ff, is this true.. sorry to change subject. thanks
 
Re: Identify this axle!!

FF's have a bigass hub sticking out....SF's don't... /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif

Yes it should hold up with 35's no problem at all, I'd run it if I was on a budget and it was lying in my yard free, especially if it had the right gears. /forums/images/graemlins/thumb.gif
 
Re: Identify this axle!!

Yesterday, i pulled an axle outta a rear 60 all i had to do was take out 8 bolts and it came out so would that be ff? Thanks.

Re: Identify this axle!!

In another post someone said that axle was on the wrong side is this true? /forums/images/graemlins/confused.gif


I have no clue what gears they are because like I said it was just in my back yard, If I were to pull the cover, how do I find out the gears? Thanks /forums/images/graemlins/thumb.gif
 
Re: Identify this axle!!

A semi float axle has a c clip located inside the diff on the end of the axle shaft to secure the shaft from coming out. A full float axle has bolts securing the axle from the outside, you dont have to remove the diff cover to remove the axle shaft. /forums/images/graemlins/thumb.gif
 
Re: Identify this axle!!

we are looking at the bottom as far as I can tell. Its just sitting upside down, nothing to worry about. Someone was probably being stupid and thought its a front axle even though its clearly in the center.

Steve to check the gear ratio remove the diff cover, count the ring gear teeth and also the pinion gear teeth. Divide the numbers and you get your ratio....for example 41 teeth on the ring gear and 10 teeth on the pinion gear would be 4.10 /forums/images/graemlins/thumb.gif
 
Re: Identify this axle!!

On the 60 i found, i pulled the cover and there were a series of numbers on the ring gear. That will probably tell you but i am not for sure.
