Early Chev cast axles

[Bob Carriere]

Early cab 11 Chev Gun tractor had HD GM cast front and rear axle with no bolted covers.... I have seen two n these beasts ///one in Kars Museum and one at the Caldswell BBQ years ago owned by Angus. Aslo seen on an early cab 13 ....part donor.... and on a tagged 1942 Ford F15a at the barn.

I firmly beleive that these early axles are always hiding the early R-Zeppa inner U joint axle on the front.... which I greatly admire for the intricate design, assembly and overall precision.

In both cases, front and rear, the bolted gear cluster "pumpkin" seems identical to the regular cab 13 axles.

Unfortunately the snow fairies makes it impossible to take any measurments right now!!!!!!
