Im looking for a tech manual for rebuilding a '35 rear axle and one for rebuilding a Columbia overdrive rear axle.
Any info on where to obtain either would be great.

I have an installation manual and detailed parts list for the Columbia if that will help.

Thanks dean333. I have those also.
I guess what I'm after is like what the model t club has put together. A tech manual for rebuilding each type of rear axle. Specs.,wear limits and what to look for etc.

Shop manuals? There are several detailed threads on the Barn and HAMB. Also internet.

Yes sir. JSeery. Shop manuals. For the Columbia also?

The overdrive will most likely need a specific manual to the unit. On rear axles, I have rebuilt several and most of it is stright forward, the biggest issue is setting the preloads, backlash, etc. Everyone I know (including myself) do it by feel. This topic has come up before and as I remember the model A rebuild information is what a lot of people use as a guide.
