Dual High numbers

I checked my dual high. Your numbers match those on my unit. I am about ready to reassemble my early '29 truck. The orginial unit needed all new bearings and seals and one of the gears was worn. I was lucky that a fellow club member had a excellent unit in his pile of surplus parts. I can't answer w...
