7 The axle Models-Carriers-Features chart inside this front cover lists all the variations covered in this : The carriers listed in this catalog do not include yokes. A yoke is a major assembly difference, therefore,a carrier sold with a yoke has a different assembly level number than the same carrier without the charts for carriers, output shafts, and housings include the following information:zAn exploded view of each assembly, keyed to the parts listzA description of each partzParts sold as assemblies that include other partszWhich carriers or axle models the part is used onzThe quantity of the part used on the carrier or axlezThe part number of each itemzWhether the part is available in a kitzCarrier parts.

8 Determine which chart and figure (1 or 2) applies to your carrier by using the following sources of tag installed on the carrierzAxle Models-Carriers-Features ChartzPictures and descriptions of the carriers inside the front cover and at the beginning of Chart 1 and Chart 2zOutput (thru) shafts:This chart covers the output shafts for the forward axles of all tandems. Note that the output shaft assemblyor its components are only sold as separate items. The output shaft is not included with the purchase of acarrier or Assemblies and Wheel End Parts:This chart covers the housing assemblies and wheel end parts for all axles.

9 The parts are listed according toaxle models that are used on 160, 161 and 164 Series shafts:The axle shafts are grouped in sets ( and ) according to the axle models they are used on. Many axleshafts are used on more than one axle model. The axle shafts are also listed by part number with and Flanges:There are four charts that cover full round bearing yokes, wing bearing yokes, Easy Service yokes, and chart lists the yokes or flanges used on each model. The yokes and flanges are listed by :The first chart in this section lists all the kits available for each axle model and carrier.

10 Following that chart,the kits are sequenced according to the kit number and list the contents of each Parts List:This section lists every part number along with the page(s) on which the part is listed. axle MODELS - CARRIERS - FEATURES160, 161 & 164 Single Reduction Axles (Single & Tandem) axle MODELSINTER- CHART AxleA1-3200-P-17062RS-23160/161A34-3200- T-1892z2RS-24160/161A17-3200-P-1706z2RS- 25160/161RS-26160/161RT-40160 ForwardRD-20160A6-3200-Q-1837 (3)z1RT-46160RD-23160A-3200-J-2116z1RT-4 6164RD-23164A1-3200-J-1908 (3)zz 1RT-50160RD-25160A3-3200-L-2118zz1RT-501 64RD-26160A1-3200-J-2116zz1RT-52160RP-20 160A1-3200-K-1909 (3)zz1RT-52164RP-23160A-3200-K-2117zz1RP -23164A5-3200-K-1909 (3)
