Front axle.....success at last.....
Be patient this willbe a long string of pictures on the elusive type "B" front axle.
Back 3 years ago when I stripped down my cab 11 I found a type"B" long axle and a type "A" short axle in the innards of my front axle. Obviuusly, in a previous life, someone broke the axle joint and replaced with what was available.... a later type "A" U-joint.
My quest has been ever since to find another matching early type "B" joint to rebuild my axle......
3 years later after tearing down 4 axles I finally found the "HOLY GRAIL" ..... a good functional type "B"......
Some of you will remember this frame that Chris begath and bequeathed to Stew who passed it on to me..... in the process someone got the engine.... someone got the tranny,,,etc. etc. and I got the frame and axles..... one of many recoveries.
Stay tuned it gets better....
Well the Son of a Gun was an early cab 11, alledgedly a gun tractor later disproved...... but good donor of parts......
