Early Jeep Question for Bill Hughes (or anyone else who knows answer)
 

Bill,

I am completing the rehab of my '46 Bantam BT3C trailer, and need to replace
the bearings, races, oil seals and flange gaskets on the axle. It is a full
floater which I believe uses parts interchangable with the Spicer 23 rear axle
used in MBs and early CJ2As. Here are the part #s specified in the 1942
military maintenance manual:

Cone and Roller Bearing Timken18590
Roller Bearing Cup Timken 18520
Hub oil seal assembly Spicer 17004
Outer wheel bearing washer Spicer 17015
Outer wheel bearing nut Spicer 17016
Outer wheel bearing nut lock washer Spicer 17017
Wheel flange gasket Spicer 17146

Do you know of an Internet source for cross referencing these WWII part numbers
with "modern" part numbers for various manufacturers?

How about a good SoCal or Internet source for the parts themselves?

Thanks.

Hi Robert,
I can't find anyone that'll admit to knowing of a Spicer/Dana 23,
but I've had them apart many times and they look exactly the same as
would fit the Dana 25, Dana 27 and all the DJ mail trucks. Just buy the
complete set as all manufacturers use their own design:
