Default Re: Rear end

More fascinating information: Logging trucks in the early days, that were used to haul logs out of the forest, not for transportation to the mill, were WW II surplus trucks. The trucks were 10 wheelers with power to all 10 wheels. The differentials were welded up solid so that there was no slipping wheels. The logging trails were usually muddy or just loose dirt so going around corners was not a problem as the tires just slipped a bit.
