Rear Axle ID Help
I have a homemade forklift that I got last summer. The drive axle is an old Ford truck axle with full floating eight lug hubs. It has 12 x 1 3/4 brakes and it has a tag on it with some numbers stamped in it. The info on the tag is DTA Co., model #51524H-X, 6.67 ratio, and the S/N is F699489. I think the ring and pinion are missing some teeth. It won't move, but if you roll the thing a little it will move until it must hit the missing teeth then it will stop. The rest of the driveline moves, so I know it is in the differential. The housing looks like a Timken style. It splits in the middle into two pieces. I would like to find another rear like this or just another ring and pinion. Need to know what year it is and what to ask for before I put an ad in the classifieds. If anyone knows where I could look for axle parts for this axle I would appreciate the info. Used is fine, too. Any and all help would be appreciated.

I should be able to get some kind of pics next week. I didn't call anyone for parts until I knew what to ask for. Would they be able to help me ID it?

There's only one bolt pattern (8 lug; 6.50 bolt circle) and brake shoe diameter (12 x 1 3/4") that match: 1948/52 F2/F3. These truck models came with (as an option) the Timken Model 51524 axle.
1948/52 with a Timken 51524: The R&P is 4.11-1 or 4.857-1.
1948/52 F4/F5 / Timken Model 53566 / R&P = 6.666-1 = 01T-4203-A / The axle pattern and brakes don't match the criteria: 5 lug; 8 inch bolt pattern / 15" brakes with shoes that are 4.50 inches wide.
You can try joblotauto.com or greensalescompany.com / but what you're dealing with is a made up combo.

According to the 1948/56 Ford Truck Parts Catalog, the Timken 51524 axle did not come with a 6.666-1 R&P.
Timken 51524: Only 4.11-1 or 4.857-1 ratios are shown.
Timken 51524: 1948/52 F2/F3. This axle wasn't used after 1952.
So...the question is...what make of truck used a Timken 51524 axle with a 6.666-1 rear axle ratio?
Will the Timken Model 53566 rear axle (used in F4/F5's) with its 6.666-1 R&P fit a Timken 51524 rear axle?
I dunno, but maybe joblotauto.com can help you.

Thanks. I emailed Job Lot Auto. We will see what they have to say about it. Does anyone know where has used parts for these old trucks? It woould be great if I could get another axle like the one that is in it. I will put a want ad in the classifieds now that I know what years to ask for.

I wouldn't be surprised if someone on here has the R&P you need, a lot of guys swap out the older timken axles in favor of the 72 and earlier dana 60's. Unfortunately I've already scrapped the timken out of my 52 F-3 or else I'd send you parts.
