10 ton axle ID from truck picture. ?

[Excuse Me]

Hi all. Firstly I'd like to mention what a great knowledge resource this site is. One does not realize just how rare the information is about these vehicles and equipment untill one goes looking for that information. Well guess what,...probably 5 of 10 google results point to this site. I just want to say thanks again for all the unselfish sharing of info you folks do here. I am a very, very novice, in fact I dont even make novice staus yet, at this military equipment thing. Thanks.

Ok, I've done a couple searches of the site and found very close information to what I seek, but not quite there. Of course, I may not have entered the right phrase in the search box, as I am still missing a lot of the proper descriptive words for the military vehicles, but I'm learning.

I found this 10 truck at Ranchers Supply in Lamar CO. If someone can point me to the brand and model of the axles, and possibly the t-case in this rig, I'd sure be greatfull.
Are parts still available for these vintage axles and how might they compare strength and dimension wise to the newer M911 Oshkosh trucks?

Thanks for any information.
Don.

A few of the guys here have 10 tons but this website is a wealth of info on the 10 ton trucks:

VanNatta International, Mack, Navistar Trucks and 4-Wheel Drive

Is'nt that a truely incredible site? I've been reading there for............jeez, I dunno, months, and still have only scraped the surface of what is there. Robert is basically a neighbor of mine as his operation is just "over the hill" from me in Columbia county Oregon. I am in Washington county.

After reading some of the history that Robert has shared, I sent him a picture and serial number of the Austin Western grader we just bought last week. He instantly made a nice page about it and put it on his site.

Here's the grader just for fun

Where my confusion comes on the trucks and axles, is that when searching for info, I get the idea that several companies were invoved making the same truck(s). So I am confused as to whether a Mack would have the same axles as a AM General. ?

The axles for the M123 series 10 tons are made by Mack. The transmission/transfer assembly is a Mack TRDXT-72.
