Default Hardy Spicer U joints

Hi Tony,

According to my very old invoice the small U-joints-are Hardy Spicer 5-178X. 3-5/8” across x 1-3/16” dia cups for my single speed xfer case but they are probably the same for the two speed case.

Note: They may require slight grinding of yokes at inside edge of cup holes to a small angle to allow crosses to fit through due to heavier construction of these crosses than originals. I noticed this had even been done to very old U-joints so it was a practice done for a long time. Some yokes even appeared "Factory" while others appeared in-field mods.

Will look for large U-joint Part No. but Large U-joints- 4-3/16” across x 1-3/16” dia cups were likewise best matched by placing on counter of someone who knows trucks as previously mentioned. I was told Bedford and many other trucks used the same u-joints.

Cheers,
