Claes Rocklin Posted December 6, 2016 Share Posted December 6, 2016 Restoring a 1920 Stephens Salient Six. The rear axle from Stan Par is worn out. These rear axles were used during 1920 only and I think it’s no idea looking for a Stan Par axle. However, in 1921 the Stan Par rear axles were replaced with identical axles from Timken. The differential seems to be the same. See the pictures from the Stephens Sales brochure. Remember that other brands may have used this Timken rear axle! So if you have a differential that fits a Stephens with a 1921 Timken rear axle, please let me know! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
john ullrich Posted December 7, 2016 Share Posted December 7, 2016 Looking at your patent date May of 14 on the Timken axle, do you believe that the Timken rear axles from that age forward may suit your needs, if so Cadillac used them and may be able to help as they are available. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Charley There were several different types of Timken rear axles at the market and I am not sure that your rear axle will fit my Stephens. Is your rear axle of the full floating type? I think the Timken axles were used on about 9000 cars during the period 1921 to 1924. The ratio was 4,75. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There were a lot of different Timken rear axles. Did Cadillac use full floating axles? Have seen a 1913 rear axle but it did not fit. The StanPar and Timken axles were of the semi floating type. I think the StanPar and the 1921 rear axles were identical att the inside. May be up to 1924 when the production of the Stephens was interupted. The pictured axles is Cadillac.

edinmass Posted December 11, 2016 Share Posted December 11, 2016 Hollander listed interchange of parts among various makes, as many cars were assembled in the era. Post in the general forum, you should get an answer from someone with an interchange lost for the rear. Ed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Claes Rocklin Posted February 19, 2020 Author Share Posted February 19, 2020 Still looking for a matching rear axle that fits my 1920 Stephens Salient Six. The original StanPar axle is a worn out . Cracked pinion , broken differential spider and so on. The left rear hub and axle shaft are damaged as a result of careless driving car with a loose rear hub. The springs are a mix from different cars and must be renewed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

5pntslw Posted November 11, 2023 Share Posted November 11, 2023 (edited) I know it's been a long time now but I have some axles I don't know what they go to but look like the ones in your pictures but the back side of the diff says Columbia.
