Dana 60 Locking Hub

Does anyone have an illustration of a Dana 60 locking hub assembly? I have mine apart and it seems there is a piece missing. The piece that seems to be missing is the spring backing plate. It should be the first piece installed when re-installing.

Are you talking about the spring seat that goes in against the outer bearing?

Yes, mine is missing that piece. If it is a necessary piece, where do I find one? Dana 60 fronts are hard to find around here.

I can help you, prolly even find one..I believe it's still available from Ford.

But..I need to know the year of the truck, and the axle ratio (if possible). I assume this is a 4500 lb. front axle.

I have to look up this part in the front axle section, and there are 30 (!!) different Dana 60 front axle applications used 1973/79.

Ask FTE member Mil1ion to post this illustration from the 1973/79 truck parts catalog:

SECTION 30 / PAGE 17 ~ Dana 60 front hub & axle parts ~ This may not be quite correct (yr specific, again), but it'll be close enough.

mil1ion, can you help with an illustration?

The truck is a 79 F350, Dana 60's front and rear. The axle ratio was originally a 3:54, but now has a 4:10. The code on the axle tag says it is a 61(??). I dont have the original door i.d. plate, but I do have the one that is attached to the engine compartment firewall. If you need that one let me know.

That illustration ref I posted above is correct for your truck. No other info is needed since you have an F350 4WD, but before going any further, I'd like to have you look at the pic.

I suggest you send Mil1ion an email or a p/m. This is a busy place, and he may not see this thread.

NOTE: Hub Illustration only = SECTION 10 / PAGE 19 shows a general discription of the hub.


btw: I'm using the parts catalog on microfiche, Mil1ion is using the CD version.

It isn't missing, according to the parts catalog...there isn't one listed for a 1979 F350 4WD.

I'd like to have you look at the front axle pic ref I mentioned above to make sure it's not some other part number.

The number for that retainer in the pic just posted is basic Ford part number 1A055, but there isn't one listed for yours.

1973/79 Ford Light Truck Parts Catalog ~ 1979 F350 4WD ~ Front Axle Parts Lists: 30.5AA / 30.5R / 30.5S / 30.5Z

None of the above parts lists (and that's all there are for this yr and model) show the: 1A055 .. Lockout Hub Pressure Spring Retainer.

Okay, if it is not missing then I can proceed. I am willing to do what ever will make it right. I am curious what seperates the spring from the bearing face? It would seem that something would be between the two. I pm'ed mil1ion for the illustration. Hopefully he will get the pm and have a diagram.

.
If it has the spring, it is supposed to have the retainer to keep the bearing and the spring from mingling.

1Ford1, are you missing it on one side or have you disassembled the other?
Do you have factory hubs on it still? If you have aftermarket hubs, you normally get rid of the spring and retainer.

I have the original hubs. I have not been able to get to the other side yet because of kid duty. If in fact I do need this retainer, does anyone have an extra one (maybe two) for sale? Or is this a Ford part that can still be purchased? What different years will coss reference? Thanks for all of the help.

See Dennis' illustration of the hub? When I went to the appropriate parts lists in the catalog, there's no 1A055 RETAINER listed for the OP's application.

There is a SPRING listed: D8TZ-1A054-A.

The hub itself (D8TZ-1104-E) fits one 1988 F250 with a parts list of # 30.5AA (4500 lb. capacity with a 4.09 ratio only), and all the 1979 F250/F350's with parts lists of 30.5AA / 30.5R / 30.5S / 30.5Z / which are the only parts lists shown for F350 4WD's.

That's why I wanted the OP to see a pic of the entire front axle and hub assembly (Section 30-page 17), to see if he could pick out another part number, because I don't see anything else.

Suggestion, go to your local Ford dealer and see what they come up with.

I was just looking at the Warn hubs and they want $175 a piece for these things. That is crazy. I will have to find a used retainer from someone or a salvage yard. I would be curious as to what Ford charges, if they still offer them.
