1937 model A rear end

redd1974 · Feb 18, 2019

I have 1937 unstyled A serial# 464670. it all original. It came out from factory with 10 spline axles with F&H wheels. I found axle housing casting number is A4R. I cannot find any information and in parts book on A4R. Is that housing from early A?
I was told by research that my A was built form leftover from early 37 A and shipped to taft, TX. on sept. 21, 1937.

thanks

Since Unstyled A?s from 460000 had 12 spline axles, I would be interested in seeing the source of your info. It could be true because Deere did some odd things back then, ie- the streeter D?s. I?m pretty sure Wes Malcolm didn?t mention this in his book, A Specialized Look at the Unstyled Model A, but I don?t have access to my book right now to check.

According to Wes Malcolm the A4R axle housing was used up to early 1935. Does it say John Deere on the back of the axle housing? There were several changes made in the A4R housing. In early 35 the housing was then changed to A828R without any observable differences.. In late 37 at ser.# 460000 the rear axle housing A1866R was introduced.
