When I had 700s on my Early 30 the tires hit the front brake rods when turning.

Is yours the worm drive or the split case Timken rear end?

The 1931 didn’t have a ridged front motor mount. I don’t think the axle was any different.

I need to see a picture of what he is talking about.

It is an Early 1930. They all have Banjo rear ends.

I think you are confusing bevel gear with banjo, two different rear axles.

I am not confused at all. As Neil said the Banjo style appeared in January 1930. The new 1930 cab didn't appear til June 1930.

Actually, 1/30 is when a new bevel gear type rear axle started.

January 1930 sounds like Early 1930 to me.
