OK I did a search and didn't find an answer. I am curious what is the signicicane of a reverse cut axle or reverse cut gears? Are they any better over the normal cut ones?

orbitcat 01-13-2002, 07:22 PM Reverse cut gears are used in a high pinion axle. Reverse cut gears are stronger in a front high pinion application going foward and in a rear high pinion application going in reverse. Newbie ! :flipoff2: Norhoss 01-13-2002, 08:11 PM Okay, I have a question about this also. If I would take a Ford(driverside drop) flip it to a passenger-side drop and rotate the knuckles 180 degrees, That would make it Hi-pinion and reverse cut correct.:confused: L8tr, P&T Jeeps 01-13-2002, 08:17 PM No, that would make you fried bearings. Reverse cuts are built that way. There are oil passages in the casting of a diff that are effective when used the way it was inteded. You either have a rev or std cut, one can't be used as the both. :flipoff2: welcome, newbie!:flipoff2: Grandpa Jeep 01-14-2002, 07:48 AM It would also make your axle run backwards. I'm beginning to think this needs to be put in the Bible. There is no way to make a low pinion axle into a high pinion. Unless your talking about putting a high pinion third member into a 9" housing, but that doesn't count. redruM 01-14-2002, 08:03 AM yet another problem with reverse cut gears for a 60 5.38 is max not like the 7.17 available for the regular 60 redruM 01-14-2002, 08:05 AM suposing this is a trail rig only...made for slow rockcrawling do you think that you could run std gears in a reverse cut app (backwards (would be like driving in reverse ???

I was just guessing on how they are made. Are the housing that different. Is the carrier for the reverse cut also different?? CJ-Jeeper 01-14-2002, 06:22 PM Carriers are the same. Housing & gears are different.

Look at his Dana 60 article, he went a different route. http://www.bc4x4.com/tech/2001/hpd60front/ | |
