stretch51 Posted December 6, 2020 Share Posted December 6, 2020 This axle was installed on a mid 1960's piece of farm equipment. Can you tell me what vehicle this axle came from? It has 11 bolts and round rear cover. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Walt G Posted December 6, 2020 Share Posted December 6, 2020 More information: diameter of rear cover, how wide is it ? axle tip to axle tip, did the car have hydraulic brakes ( look at the backing plates for the drums for fittings and area where the line would enter) ? Any numbers or letters at all on the rear end? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stretch51 Posted December 6, 2020 Author Share Posted December 6, 2020 This is what I found: On the front of the differential housing are the stamped numbers: 331 and below that number is 1141544-42. The overall length of the axle, tip to tip, is 63.25 inches with 59.25" outside drum hub to outside drum hub. It does have hydraulic brakes. The differential housing measures 8 inches in diameter. It is the brake assembly I need to replace. Than you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stretch51 Posted December 6, 2020 Author Share Posted December 6, 2020 Just for informational purposes this axle is installed on an orchard pruning tower probably built in the 1960's or maybe early 1970's with an emblem on the front of the machine identifying it as a "Trump".

3macboys Posted December 7, 2020 Share Posted December 7, 2020 (edited) Looks like late 40's to early 50's Mopar - the carrier part number should help you - Mopar 1141544. Edited December 7, 2020 by 3macboys (see edit history) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stretch51 Posted December 7, 2020 Author Share Posted December 7, 2020 Thank you very much for your assistance. I have spent many hours trying to figure out that rear axle. When it is attached to a piece of farm equipment and not a car it makes the job even harder. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
3macboys Posted December 7, 2020 Share Posted December 7, 2020 If you have a hard time finding the parts that you are after I suspect that @mobileparts on here will be able to help you. Some of those parts are starting to get scarce. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stretch51 Posted December 9, 2020 Author Share Posted December 9, 2020 Thank you all for your time and assistance on identifying the axle. With your help I was able to narrow down the choices. Keep up the great work you do here. Dave Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
West Peterson Posted December 9, 2020 Share Posted December 9, 2020 Does the number 331 indicate the gear ratio? If so, that'll keep the rpm low at high speed. If you're not a drag racer, I would think that would be a fairly nice rear-end to have. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
