Bill,
I am completing the rehab of my '46 Bantam BT3C trailer, and need to replace the bearings, races, oil seals and flange gaskets on the axle. It is a full floater which I believe uses parts interchangable with the Spicer 23 rear axle used in MBs and early CJ2As. Here are the part #s specified in the 1942 military maintenance manual:
Cone and Roller Bearing Timken18590 Roller Bearing Cup Timken 18520 Hub oil seal assembly Spicer 17004 Outer wheel bearing washer Spicer 17015 Outer wheel bearing nut Spicer 17016 Outer wheel bearing nut lock washer Spicer 17017 Wheel flange gasket Spicer 17146
Do you know of an Internet source for cross referencing these WWII part numbers with "modern" part numbers for various manufacturers?
How about a good SoCal or Internet source for the parts themselves?
Thanks.
