rear axle

Re: rear axle timken

I am looking for the pinion and ring gears for Timken axle 5:14 ratio. I need 2 sets for a drive system from a 100 foot barge. The drive leg (propeller) is driven by 2 halves of a Ford F25 or F35 Timken Diff. in order to pivot the leg into the water. Believe me this thing is a tank and has worked for over 50 years hauling fuel across Great Bear Lake in NWT. I am rebuilding it for the owner as well as getting a history lesson. LOL I need 2 ring gears and 2 pinion gears as well as any information I can find on these differentials. Much appreciated
 
Does it look like this? Not sure what an F25 or F35 is but the 5.14 was used in
1.5 ton trucks.

I know from looking around that there were 2 types. One series had a long output shaft end and the other was much shorter. Is yours a short version.
 
Like I said I am getting a history lesson. I believe it was a F2 , F3 series that used the Timken Diff's
 
Thanks Bob, I really need to find the ring and pinions or at least a set of replacements that will fit in the housing. If I could find 2 diffs that I could buy the guts I would be a happy camper.
 
I did a little looking in the parts book and the 5.14 pinion is 01T-4609-C fits 1940-52
and the ring is 81T-4207 1938-1952.
I think your best bet would be Chucks Trucks, there was another post that said he
has 5.14 gears. http://www.chuckstrucksllc.com/

The 5.14 is the high speed gear set and all the guys with 1 1/2 ton trucks
are looking for them.

The later parts catalog from 1955 show 2 different R&P sets for TL & T series trucks (F4/F5/& F6). The earlier ones were keyed type pinion but they didn't have a 5.14:1 in the list anyway for T or TL or even anything close in the F-2 or F-3. The later 5.14:1 R&P set from 1948 thru 55 had splined pinion and was P/N 8T-4209-C for JH, T, TL, & W series trucks.

I don't know these axles all that well but I do know the big truck guys look for the 5.14:1 ratio since it will give them better highway speeds. I couldn't find anything for the lighter 3/4 ton F2 or 1 ton F3 trucks other than 4.11:1 and 4.857:1. This doesn't mean they didn't exist, it just is not in the 1955 catalog. The old prewar stuff was probably a keyed type pinion and the part number for those was already mentioned and may have continued up thru 1947.
