setting up a used ring and pinion can be and is a ral pain in the drain due to differences in machining of the castings , And getting it dead on only happens about 1 in 10,000 times . You may have a high or low drive and a dead on coast pattern or the other way around . Study the OLD pattern and stop and think of what ya need to do to get the pinion set as close as you can to the org. ware pattern and this will take some playen since you do not have the set up tools that were used to get the pinion depth set to start . And with years of shell we say extencive field testing you have ware on all parts . Then here you come and oh these bearings are getting bad so i will just replace the bearing and i will reset backlash well when you did this you changed everything . and you can NOT go by the book here this is where experience comes into play with setting up a rear end .

Be more concerned with a good drive patter or close then a perfect set on both coast and drive Also just because you have the org. shims this does not guaranty a perfect set due to machining of the housings, that is WHY they make shims..

Following World War II many farm boys returned home both older and wiser. One such man was my employer the summer I was sixteen. He was a farmer by birth and a farmer by choice, and like many returning soldiers, he was our silent hero: without medals or decorations, but with a certain ability to survive. It was on his farm that I learned to use the combination hand clutch and brake on a John D
