...or bawlsheet.... as they would say in Texas.

Just almost finished writing a very long response to Dirk and Phil and lost my A** OL connection and lost everything....and at my age can't remember.... but it was good.....

Let try again....

Phil... I may be way over my head in this but I am trying to learn to use the books...... I will bow my head to the greater experience of Dirk.

Based on what you said Phil, you have the 4 7/8 Rzeppa....C11Q-3350A2 or XXXX 51A2

In reading my Furd Illustrated Army Parts Catalogue 1940-42 published in January 1942..... on the pull out folded page between page 58 and 59...... the 4 7/8 Rzeppa is a C11Q and the C11Q 2240 retainer should be the correct one.

The C01Q is for the smaller Rzeppa of 4 7/16 axle.......

The C29Q quoted by Dirk... I could not find....

The C118Q is the largest 6 inch Rzeppa for the, I assume, C and F 60 series.......

The part 1193 is a different part like Dirk said......
NOTE....it is not shown in the 40-42 part manual but is listed....

I searched to see where it would fit... then looking at Dirk's picture I recognized the two big spacer in the bottom RH corner.... seen them odd balls before..... you know where... inside the front axle on the very odd HUP 1945 that Rob is rebuilding...... I found a diagram of its location... appropriately enough in the MB F2 shop manual..... seem they come in various sizes from 2.060 to 2.120 in .005 increments.

Now a question for Dirk..... in the top RH corner... what is inside that big glob of grease.... bearings or the large seals for the front
axle...???

Question for Phil... do you have the two 1193 spacers in your Furd...?

Questions for our other esteemed Aussie friends who for some weird reason prefer Furds...... do all front axles in Furd have that 1193 spacer...??? and how the heck do you decide on size for adjustment...?

Thanks for your patience.... I am trying hard to learn.

Finally Phil... that rear axle brake fixture that holds the E brake is very fragile when rusted... so you have the left side and you need a right side....... will need to check what I have.. that are good... a lot of them have been brazed with bronze that I can remember.... will keep you posted.

Dirk seems to have all the goodies you need... even the New Departure #928 pivot bearings......

Now tell us your "Happy"

Phew....made it this time.
