brownie type boxes urban myth

Go over to '6066GMCtrucks.org' There is a good article about the Spicer 5831.

umm, that article is less than complete, and it is the first site that pops up when "Spicer 5831" is googled. I am offering to anyone who has interest, the complete Spicer 5831 parts catalog in PDF format. All you need to do is send me your email and I'll send you the file.

If anyone is interested, I have a full PDF file of the 1969 Spicer 5831 catalog pages. 12 pages total with part numbers, applications, and isometeric drawings. It's a little large to post using an outside storage provider, but if a moderator would like to post and save this file for members to view using the forum servers, I would be more than happy to send them the file.

I believe the best information provided in this file aside from the brownie's specific parts is the information regarding the input and output shafts for yoke and flange sizing/adapting. Unfortunately, since this is a parts catalog, it does not contain information regarding torque and horsepower limits of the brownie. But I did find that a lot of the bearings that the brownie uses are fairly common and can still be found. Also, if you're smart enough to figure things out, it also contains the information needed for converting one model to another model by switching gear sets.

Actually, I am very interested in that PDF.

Brady, I sent you a pm about the Spicer parts catalog. Just in case you're like me and never remember to check pm's, I'll post here too.

I have a 5831D that the wrecker said didn't need any work. Now I'm trying to decide whether it's rebuildable or whether I'm looking for another one.

Any literature I can lay my hands on would be useful.
