offroader1006 10-28-2003, 01:42 PM Thinkin about pickin up a 5 lug rear 60 from an IH pickup. Anyone know how wide they are compared to stock SII axles and chevy front 44/60's? Also, anyone know if the brakes are small enough for 15" wheels. Appreciate it. Ronnie Scout 10-29-2003, 06:28 AM I believe they are 64" or 65" WMS.... Yes they do fit a 15" wheel...I have one under the T'all... R:cool: YellowIH 10-29-2003, 08:06 AM You know that is a semi-floater rear.... If you really need the strength of the D60 rear you might want to look for another axle. I run 3/4 IH truck axles in my SII and have the full floating D60 rear with no complaints. Maybe you should keep looking past what you have found. Scoutillac 10-29-2003, 08:38 AM For a trail rig? If so a semi floater will work fine. I run a semi-float, beat the fawk out of my rig and have never had a problem. I can see a full float for load capacity, but for a wheeler it think it is just not nescesary.

I'd make sure that it's brake hardware that is readily available before swapping it under. I dunno if the IH 60 stuff is any more available than their corporate axle stuff which is unobtanium these days. binderbound 10-29-2003, 04:51 PM Originally posted by Sully What year IH?

Anyone need a power lock for a 4.10 IH rear? That 60 still has 30 spline axles so the only real benifit is the larger gears and bigger wheel bearing, right? Go for a FF axle so you can atleast drive home if you break a shaft.

No, the only advantage is the bigger R&P, wheel bearings are still Set-10. With a truss, good canidite for a set of aftermarket 35-spline shafts... Still have the smaller bearings, but a trail rig can live with it. troutbum 10-30-2003, 05:29 PM Originally posted by Scoutillac For a trail rig? If so a semi floater will work fine.

Sure is nice to have FF when a shaft lets go. I had mydrivers side rear tire go wizzing past me as I bounced all over the road when a SF let go....:eek: offroader1006 10-30-2003, 05:36 PM so the SF 60 uses c clips? troutbum 10-30-2003, 05:39 PM My SF axle expereince was a scout D44 (no c clips) but I fatigued the axle right at the mounting flange between the bearing and the WMS. I *believe* the SF d60 is similar in design (no c clips) but I have never owned one, because I have a FF d60 Binderfan2002 10-30-2003, 09:57 PM d60 no c clip Stick with what you have if your going stay SF. You dont wana cary a pig behind you if your axles are just as week. If you go 60 do it right and go FF. EDIT: Or cheeper and stronger 14Bolt FF and shave it. Everything is cheep for a 14bolt. even a disk brake swap is easy and just over a few Hundred.

They are 6 or 7" wider than a scout 44. If you ran a chevy front I would think it would be pretty close, but of course that would be 6 or 8 lug. If you want to go full width, I like the shaved 14, with a 60 front, or chevy 44 converted to 8 lug. You could run the IH 60 rear then put your scout 44 outers on a chevy 44. This would get you about the same width and keep your 5 lug pattern if you were looking to do it cheap.

Ditch the cheesy SII D30-sized stub shaft crap for the stockers or mall posers. tsm1mt 10-31-2003, 08:34 AM Originally posted by TORC If you want 5 lug outers, use Ford or Dodge 5 lug internal locking hub stuff.

EVERYONE knows more is better.. sheesh, TORC! :flipoff2: | |
