Here are some pics of the gears
Shows two ring gears on a level iron lay out table with one line shaft as we determined the proper relationship of gear mounting face to line shaft centerline.
Shows Gene machining one of the pedestals for instalation of the new lineshaft brasses. Note he is working in a shop as big as all outdoors.
completed truck, the ring gears are bolted to the wheel centers. The pinions are shrunk on the line shaft which is mounted in brass bearings fitted into the pedestals
