While finishing up my PM on the Diamond T, I discovered a data plate on the rear axle, which states Built by others for
the US Goverment
under contract for
Timken Axle
Detroit, MI.

I have no clue if this was a post war rebuild or if it is orginal, however I have found 2 data plates, 1 on the front axle and 1 on the transmission, both dated 1966, stating "Overhault" and the rest is in I believe Danish"

Also, as Ranger has previously stated in another post, check your axle vents, all 3 of mine were clogged up...............

And remember that there are identical looking replacements, they are not marked and if the wrong one is selected, it will build unwanted pressure.

42 chevy I think your tags could be from a rebuild in Norway the two languages are very close , this same conversation came up on another site recently "hvmf.co.uk" having to do with plates on dodges , they were able to id the depot .hope this helps

G-509 Axle Housings with Manufacturer's Data Plate were the norm.
