msmazcol Posted February 10, 2011 Share Posted February 10, 2011 (edited) Can anyone ID this logo? The one on the center pumpkin is a definite T. Believe this is a Timken unit. Edited February 10, 2011 by msmazcol (see edit history) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peter J.Heizmann Posted February 10, 2011 Share Posted February 10, 2011 ms...Taking a wild guess. The logo O.D. appears to be a diamond..."Diamond T" ??Regards,Peter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
msmazcol Posted February 10, 2011 Author Share Posted February 10, 2011 Yes, the logo looks very much like a Diamond T. Most of these early truck builders like Divco used components supplied by other manufacturers like Timken. Yes, Timken did build differentials. If you do a Google image search you would be surprised.

W_Higgins Posted February 10, 2011 Share Posted February 10, 2011 This is the outer end of a 1917 Diamond T differential used in a Meteor Hearse:Similar to yours, but not quite.The center section was different with a removable rear cover:Can you see the Diamond T logo stamped in the cover? It's a downward pointing triangle with a D and T overlaid in the center. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest justme Posted February 10, 2011 Share Posted February 10, 2011 Walter, I believe the T-D in the triangle was the logo for Timken-Detroit.Charley Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
W_Higgins Posted February 10, 2011 Share Posted February 10, 2011 Good catch, you're probably right. Below is an ad with what looks like another redesign of their logo -- the axle design (both front and rear) looks very similar to this vehicle: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Barry Wolk Posted February 10, 2011 Share Posted February 10, 2011 This is how Timkin marked their bearings in the '30s. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest De Soto Frank Posted February 10, 2011 Share Posted February 10, 2011 I believe Timken was still making drive-axles into the 1950's... the 4WD Willys Jeeps and Utility Wagons & Trucks with the four-cylinder engines use Timken "split-rears" with 5.38:1 ratio...The 4.88 Danas in my '61 Willys 6-226 4WD pick-up were slow enough for me !
