Hello Guys, I need to disable one of the three axles of a B30E ADT brand Bell because the front differential has a failure and the parts are not avaliable for two months; could have problems due to increase of the torsion pair in the others two axles? Regards LuisH
You say front diff, is that the single one at the front of the truck or the the front diff of the two rear diffs?
front diff..... Regards LuisH
Not familiar with the Bell, but I would think you would have to run with some interlocks engaged to make it go, and if you have places where you're pulling hard you'll be putting 50% more power into each remaining differential? Not so good. If conditions were right and the operator loved God it might last, but you've already torn one up, what are the odds the other two will last until the second coming?
You were not very clear about which diff, but I think you meant the middle diff at the rear of the truck. That diff has a gear on the end of the pinion shaft that drives the gear for the gear box that drives the out put shaft to the rear diff, unless the pinion shaft is intact you won't get power to the rear diff. Need to know what has failed in the middle diff and what sort of pieces are floating around inside that diff housing, you will have to open up the middle diff and see what is broke.
