I’d check this with Chuck before jumping to spend $500 or more. The 01Y 4209-A isn’t in the later editions of the Green Bible or early print versions of the ‘48 + catalogs. And I think I recall Chuck once saying that the early Timkens used on 1938 and later 3/4 and tonner models had a tapered and keyed pinion shaft, like this one has. If my recollection is right this won’t work in later trucks. Hope Chuck is watching and comments. Stu

Thanks for fixing the link. I think the part number checks out. The 38-39 part numbers are 81Y, the first digit of the prefix is the last digit of the year the part was first used. 81Y dates 1938 introduction, 01Y dates 1940 introduction. I found an old thread where we discussed these part numbers.

I stumbled on these gears while looking for 6.66 gears for these axles. A good friend of mine is repairing an angle drive on a mid 70s Jeep with a post hole digger. The gears in the angle drive appear to be based on the Timken ring and pinion. We pulled the 4.86 gears out of my spare axle. However my friend would prefer a lower ratio, preferably 6.66. The 6.66 gears were used pre-war in 60 hp and 4 cylinder trucks. I was trying to find the low ratio gears when I found the other end of the gear ratio options.

Bizarre that the 01Y 4209-A is first listed, or is it relisted(?), in the January, 1954, catalog. I have the last two editions for the ‘47 and under era, plus books for each of the ‘48 to ‘56 years. There must be earlier 1940s original copies of the Green Bible that listed it. Oh well, happy bidding guys. Stu

This parts catalog is bound paper with green covers, hence the nickname "Green Bible" coined by enthusiasts.
Ford also offered a loose leaf paper version, which is what I have, it's placed in a later red Ford truck 3 ring binder.
The pages have turned brown with age and my catalog is missing the first 24 pages. I got it from Pasadena Ford when they closed in August 2008.
Originally, there were individual year bound catalogs for Ford trucks (1928/47) and cars (1928/48). Later, probably in the 1950's, Ford replaced them all with the bible.

I’ve got the reprint 11/50 Green Bible, and an orange 4/49 version of the 1947 and earlier catalog. I might need to reacquaint myself with the loose leaf version. Stu

I used to hate that part of the job. At Sears during the mid ‘60s it was the job of the part time college kid to post new pages to the parts books. Then came the marvel of micro-fiche! Gawd awful hard to read.

Ford would send out the new individual pages, then the parts catalogs in binders had to be taken completely apart to insert the pages, a royal PITA!
When Ford introduced microfiche in 1967, the viewer was a POS! The resolution was terrible and when you moved the slide from one page to another, the POS had to be refocused.
One day, the parts manager at Ralph Williams Ford attempted to use it, after a few minutes, he was so PO'd that he picked it up, walked out the door and threw it into the dipsy dumpster!
Ford introduced a new viewer in the 1980's, it was a marked improvement over the huge POS original...as you can see...

I'm not sure if it's true or not, but I was told that Ford had a proprietary magnification in their fiche and their cards would only work in the special Ford viewer. I have an old viewer and stacks of PPG paint formula fiche I used for years. I kept it thinking I could also use it with Ford parts fiche, but was told it wouldn't work, so I never pursued it. Do you know if this is correct?
