Re: Split Ring Safety

There's always something like this available for airing up for the first time so you can do it "remote" so to speak

Re: Split Ring Safety

I have split rims on several prices of farm equipment. Once assembled/aired up, they are completely safe. Large truck shops should have the cage to work with them and if your not familiar with them I'd suggest finding a tire shop who deals with them on a regular basis. I've had a buddy killed from b...

Re: Newbie AA

AAC trucks are not that difficult to put back together if you find the time. Timken diffs were manufactured by Timken Bearings. the Australian and Canadian service bulletins do have some information on the differentials. it is not correct that all timken diffs were open tail shafts. the differentia...

Re: Newbie AA

It looks like you have a Timken rear end. But I think I saw a torque tube in your first photos. You may have more than one type. There are lots of timken bearings in the rear end, there's no torque tube, both are open driveshafts, the gent had two next to identical frame/transmission/diff combos, t...

Re: Newbie AA

If you're not familiar with the Canadian AAC's you will find that there are a lot of differences than the US built AA's. Many parts do not interchange with the American trucks. These trucks had cable brakes, a open driveline (no torque tube), a different Timken rear than US models, often different ...

Re: Newbie AA

Welcome to the group. Where abouts are you located at? As noted above, there are a lot of differences between the Canadian and US built trucks. What kind of cab do you have? I have a Brantford cab on my 28 AA. What year is your truck? What type of wheels do you have? Hi, I'm from Neepawa, Manitoba....

Re: Newbie AA

That's a nice looking truck markp213. I hope to redo mine as close to original as I can but I may not be quite as picky as I was with my sport coupe, it depends if much was changed in the 80 years of life from factory or what the guy rebuilt to use with the truck now Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
