I don't know if there is a difference between the WD and WD45 rear axle gears, the gear ratio for the 45 diesel is higher than the gas version. To get about the same HP from the diesel it had to turn faster. You can also get the ring gear and pinion out of a D17 to turn a few more RPM's in your WD45. ------------- "Any man who thinks he can be happy and prosperous by letting the government take care of him better take a closer look at the American Indian."

Most WD's had spur gear transmissions so the top shaft which has the pinion gear for the differential is probably different. WD's with a curved shifter would have the same internals as a 45. I wonder about the output shafts with final drive pinions, if they were different in the WD and 45. Also if there is a difference, what ratio is the final drive on WD's and 45's? ------------- http://www.ae-ta.com" rel="nofollow - http://www.ae-ta.com Lena 1935 WC12xxx, Willie 1951 CA6xx Dad bought new, 1954WD45 PS, 1960 D17 NF |
