It’s been discussed on here in the past that the hubs may not be a true 2:1 ratio. A year or so ago I did a test where I put a degree wheel on a hub and rotated the drive to see what the true total reduction was. Hubs and diff and just hubs. But I don’t remember all the results, it’s posted...

Now you really got me thinking and a re look at the parts. Ok power comes in and drives one of the big gears. This in turn drives the 4 smaller gears on the cross. Now the cross is fixed to the hub that and provides power. The second big gear is fixed to the spindles with splines and does...

Also look at the photo. Imagine the top gear the size where the spiders are sitting and see how the spiders would not enguage the lower.

Look at it like this. If the input gear, the top one is different in diameter than the output, then how would the spider gears mesh between the two. They are on a fixed diameter. Adding teeth to the input and not the output puts them physically out of alignment. The only way to change gear...

Here is a photo of the reduction gears in the hub. Reduction is due to the ratio of the spider gears to the input/output gears. To change the reduction you change the spider gear size. The top input and the bottom output gears have to be the same size or it all bindes up. Without a complete...

Look for a civilian company that provides fleet maintenance to the army. They should be able to order the parts and may even sell you parts.
