JV Puleo Posted October 12, 2017 Share Posted October 12, 2017 Doesn't a '14 Franklin have a wood chassis? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only wood up to the shorter wheel base models of 28. Starting with the longer wheel base of that year they went to all steel chassis.

LAMROK Posted October 13, 2017 Author Share Posted October 13, 2017 sorry, i was told that it was a '14 and had to believe them as i don't know much about them.. I figured i would try to see if someone has a use for this rather than scrap it, it anything the wheels themselves would make cool wall art or a conversation Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikewest Posted October 13, 2017 Share Posted October 13, 2017 Where are you located? Its worth more than scrap. Check out the gear ratio stamped in the case and tell us what it is. Measure the wheel base .It looks like 132 inch from the pics It could be 125 inches. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LAMROK Posted October 13, 2017 Author Share Posted October 13, 2017 I'm in Wisconsin and can help with the transport the only thing that is on the rear-end is "oberdorfer castings Syracuse NY" then 4-23-0 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikewest Posted October 13, 2017 Share Posted October 13, 2017 You aren't looking at the right place . Lay on the ground behind the rear end and look where the right (passenger side) axle tube enters the center housing. There is a narrow boss on the casting facing you and stamped in the aluminum will be the ratio -example 12 /52 You are looking at the top to see the oberdorfer Syracuse NY business... I wouldn't be interested -too far away. Other wise I would buy it , take it apart and see for parts . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looking closer, those aren't 32 adjustable rear shocks, either. Safe to say, it's a 31. Paul Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
