FDS=front drive steering axle
1600=capacity
sax= brake type
2=whatever equipment it came off of


1600 capacity sounds like at least a 10 ton

faceloader like a HEMTT has

 

[poorman4x4]

pretty sure its a faceloader

 

[poorman4x4]

is it possible that the 2 might be 201 or 215 the numbers get scratched sometimes

 

[mudog4]

yea its faceload it might be possible to be 201 or 215 cuz the tag is all messed up but i can just get those number off them on the rear housing right in the middle it has a IH so im guessing it came out of a international harvester, my computer wont let me put pics up

we have a set like that 30 ton but planetary ends, in the parts manuel i dont see a sun gear or three planet gears ,its just showing a spindle and one hub w/bearings thats it for your axle

 

[mudog4]

yea they r not planetarys, when i got them the guy said they were 5 tons but i just got another set of 5tons and these 1600s r way bigger so i was trying to find out if they were 10 tons or bigger 30ton that sound really heavy , do u see how heavy the are in ur book or where ever ur getting ur info
