In 48 it is possible you have the R9 or the mid year replacement R11 unit. You didn't mention which unit you have but I believe the procedure and lube recommendations is the same for both.

In addition to the lube recommendation JWL mentions, here is a bit from one of the service manuals on the fill and subsequent checking procedure. The plugged fill holes on the trans and OD units are at slightly different heights. If you don't follow the recommendations, then after a period of service when it is time for the check oil will appear to be low in one unit and overfilled and will run out the opened hole in the other.

There seems to be a plentiful supply still around. I got my spare Bendix spring from Bob Bliss in NJ; 732-521-4654. I don't recall just how complete Bob's catalog was so best be prepared with the full dimensional characteristics.

Many of us have had totally satisfactory results with 85W-140 GL-1 gear oil. Correct level is when the oil is at the hole about mid-way up on the transmission and overdrive cases. The holes have a ⅜" NPT plug with a square head, like the drain plugs.

Bob, KFI was the radio station identifier which Earle C. Anthony owned in Los Angeles.

It would be nice to know who the winning bidders were that bought groups of cars assuming they're in the parts business

I would love to Know who Bought Item# 7. I need some of those parts

Hi All,
Pulled my Owen Dyneto DN860 yesterday and the front bolt on the bendix spring broke off. Im looking to get it tapped out, but would like to replace the whole mechanism. I emailed Jason at AER Rebuild and am looking to replace the entire front spring (i think it is called the bendix?) assembly. Does anyone know where I can purchase this assembly? Maybe have a part number for the assembly? Googling around online and trying to look for a part number has not yielded much help. Any assistance would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks All...
V/R,
Rich

I picked up #45,72,147,156,182,and 192. im going up there next week for 4 days to part out 45 and 72 not worth the transport cost back to Tucson. I was set on getting #16. went all the way to the end but the other bidder wasnt letting up.

Thanks Mal

That picture on the mudflat gives me nightmares. What was my father thinking?

We've been doing a bit more work, it's starting to look good and drive well.

Now, if we can just get a fuel tank sender...
