What rear end is this ?

Re: What rear endnis this ?
These machines have a "Power divider" and thus what appear to be two diff's and two drive shafts. Those rears are not mechanically coupled. They are each driven by the power divider, and that is what accomplished the turning on these machines.
There is a member here in Colorado who posted up a complete over haul of his power divider in his Track Master a couple of years back.

Looks like high pinion Spicer 44s to me. Like the ones Ford used in front axles. There are thousands out there and live well. Never seen an arrangement like that with them married.

Pretty sure its spicer 60 just like my 1342 tucker had .
The 60 would be even stronger, I have had 450 hp up against them.

I agree !!!! The only thing that worrys me is this( power divider)?
Search "shop guy" here and in his posts are all you need to know about these power divider set ups.
That said, the manufacturer went away from that and to the O/C type steering differentials.

power dividers are expensive and difficult to set up the real problem with the 4-t is drive sprockets can be difficult to get relined and about impossible to find. one member recently found some one to do his I would bet the 4t also suffers frome the same weakness the 601 does with the weak spindle on the front axle as for the rear end that would be the least of my worries. that system however does have a ton of u-joints to fail.
