I need a quick answer
what do the various mog axles weigh?
and what versions have helical cut gears in the reduction boxes?

Hey Fred,
More research, ehh? 404 axles don't weigh much more than D60's. I believe the 404 front weighs @ 530 lbs. and the 404 rear weighs @485 lbs. Also, I've heard the hubs in the 404 axles are helical cut and the 406/416 (aka U900/U1300?) are straight cut. Don't quote me on this, Fred.

Does anyone else want to confirm/correct the info? Hope this helps out.

wow, i figured the 404 axles weighed a bit more. when i first put my truck on the lift at my old job, I got a kick out of the lift straining to pick up the truck.

My '76 Ford F-350 weighs dead nuts 6000 lbs. Weighed it soon after I bought it at a truck scale outside town. Passing by a truck scale on the way back from picking up my axles it weighed in at 1100 lbs. heavier. I don't know how different the fuel level was between the two stops, but I know neither stop was near full or empty. Water has about the same density and weighs 8 lbs per gallon. Even a difference of 10 gallons would skew the numbers less than 100 lbs. Passengers and extra cargo were the same each scale.

Scale stop #1:
Truck, 2 passengers, extra cargo...6000
TOTAL............................................. 6000

Scale stop #2:
Truck, 2 passengers, extra cargo...6000
Front axle....................................... 530
Rear axle........................................ 485
Pallet under both axles.................. 50
Difference in fuel............................????
TOTAL............................................. 7065+/- fuel

Scales round to the nearest 50 lbs. The scale read 7100 lbs. Someone once told me these weights for front/rear and the stop at the scale was for my own curiosity to confirm their approximate weight. I thought it came out about right. Cheers.
