[bigjbear]

[cbbr]

Somebodys got to ask, so i'll bite. What is it?

 

[ramjet gmc]

so are you after a new type of rock crawing -- ROCK CRUSHING--- that thing must be from a cement mixer or something

Kress Hauler Axle these are our small ones you should see the Cat 797 axles

 

[jboyes]

I think it could work

 

[joez]

It wont fit in it, but i bet it would fit under it.

You would have to convert to airbrakes.

 

[JIM88K5]

You'd need a big block for each axle...

 

[Greg72]

Convert it to D44 disk brakes and you'd probably save about 200Lbs...

It would get a little narrower too.


What's the R&P ratio on that thing?

 

[Zeitler]

ot , but does anyone know what happened to the guy with the beefy "Marmon-Herrington" axle?

 

[Drey]

I wish i had a pic from when I was at Caterpiller in Peoria Illinois. The axles on the back of the big dump trucks are crazy.

Back when I worked at the truck transmission place, we had a huge Cat axle from some kind of haul truck.

24 inch ring gear!

The pinion looked about as big as a 5-gal can, and had to be hoisted into place. The housing looked to be bracketed for a 3-link suspension setup. Multi-disc wet brakes inboard of the planetary hubs. The whole assembly shipped out at almost 6000 lbs...
