Hi,
When Lift towing or flat towing everything should be in Neutral. If lift or flat towing for long distances (open for interpretation, maybe 100mi.+) axles or drivshafts should be removed to reduce increased wear of gear clusters that don't normally receive lubrication in neutral.

"Kaboom!" - that was the sound of my head exploding :-P
Interesting concept.....The gears are not straight cut so I'm not sure if it'll take the same amount of torque rating at 100% duty cycle in both directions....hmm
.....also the shifter rods would be sticking out in the opposite...

Some update info & pics
Hi,
Ok, here are some pics of the Spicer 8031C. Its an oldy but goodie. The Teeth & synchros look great and the bearings have no wiggle. All it needs is a good wire wheel, paint and some gaskets. They were nice enough to throw in a jackshaft and the original shifter...

We departed NY at 0015 and arrived around 1745-1800.:driver: I forgot exactly how long it...
Hi,
I totally missed your post about picking up the 919 frame etc.....
You may be able to take the 16" drums & backing plates etc. off the rear 919s and put them on the 813s axles however it may not fit with 20" rim (you now have the luxury to do a trial fit) Or you may have to go to a...
