Those are the front axle WCs for the A3-series, TM 9-2320-386-24P, fig.108, item 16.
Its almost 20% more volume (brake fluid), for the same piston travel, compared to the 1-3/8". Should work OK as long as brake shoes are kept well adjusted.

LOL, obviously that is a pure hypothetical scenario - just a quick drawing in response to your post #71. In reality it would be less than 8" there, since the springs do flex some, of course. But fact is, if you pushed that rear axle down the other one comes up.
For your experiment you can use a...
:ditto:
VPed: please jack-up that axle until tire barely spins; then take another pic and post....
I can't believe we are even discussing this: even bald 14.00R20's are about 48 inches in diameter and on a stock M35 the C-C distance between rear axles is only 48 inches. So...?

The original post is almost a year old and I cannot imagine that that problem hasn't been solved yet...? It would be sooo nice if people reported back their findings... or?
Yes, to Ron's post above, points 1- and 3-. Even gov.-rebuilt engines come unbalanced and faces of PP and FW not...
That is not the case on the M44-series trucks. The grease zerk is there but it will only put grease between transmission bearing cap and TO-bearing carrier. There in no way that any (excess)grease will get into the bearing itself.
You can easily verify this yourself once you worked on these...

Trying to follow on that... not clear where exactly that wedge would go and what it did. ... in the spring pockets??? How would that load the rear axle; and/or work in the sense of "moving the pivot point back" ?
Or would a pair of blocks go between the rear-most axle tube and frame...?

:ditto: to post #2.
Take a look a that picture below... see the size of the dog-clutch halves, to connect both T-Case output shafts.
Those parts are the only ones that may "suffer" - if the rear axle was slipping while engaging the front. And believe me, they can take a lot of abuse! (I have...
Something is not exactly where it should be... Try to determine where exactly the drum touches the lining- and why. There should be no interference at all, with the adjusters all IN.
Make sure that the lining is not protruding from the actual shoe's surface, at some point...
Take pics of what...
What about the seals? (... two per rear hub vs. only one in the front...)
And you are (correctly)adjusting two excentric pivots for every brake shoe, right...?

Toby: 365/80R20 and 14.5R20 are just different "names" for exactly the same item. Same as the 12.5R20's, later called 335/80R20's.
A lot of all that info can be found here... or their slightly older version, here...
I say that the 365/80R20 is a "perfect fit" because both, the tire and the...
Yes. And I'm 99% sure that that is a W11-20 size (MPT-style) with a 14.5R20 Continental MPT80 mounted on it.
Metric rim...?? No, rims are all still measured in inches.
Yes, all the tire sizes you mention "will fit" on ANY 20-inch diameter rim. Although, the only one to fit perfectly on the...
Fit both, like it is there? No, no way...
If I'm not mistaken that wheel has the typical European pattern, 10 bolt holes on a 13.2"-circle (-> MRAP). I don't see how it would fit on the smaller 10-on-11.25" pattern -without some kind of special adapter plate.
