★ This gear set is suitable for the late, reinforced differential type as used in later production WWII vehicles. Note: not interchangeable with the early 8¾" differential.
Application
For late production vehicles with 9 5/8" differential. Identify your type by the pinion seal: 4 inch (102 mm) diameter = late type, 3½ inch (89 mm) = early type. The late type has a stronger differential with four pinion gears (versus two in the early type).
Installation notes
Professional installation strongly recommended. Requires correct adjustment of pinion depth, backlash and bearing preload. Use new shims, seals and bearings during installation. Ring and pinion sets are always matched sets — replace both components together.
Compatibility
NOT compatible with early 8¾" differential (3½" pinion seal). Check before purchase which differential size your vehicle has. Late and early types are not interchangeable.
Historical context
The change from 8¾" to 9 5/8" differential occurred during wartime production to handle higher loads. The late type with four-pinion differential is more robust and was also used post-war in the civilian Power Wagon series.
