Hi Philippe, this is getting interesting.
If Have two question, did you allready thing about the front axle , to put on the outer side of the driveshafts, some kind of free running Nub, like you can buy to any normal Od 4x4, like a Land Rover ??. So if you don´t need the 6x6 , that you are only going on the back axles, ?? I did never had the chance to have a look under neeth an LA 82, but I would say that should be Possible. Did you check on that allready ?
The other thing, as I can see the picture from the Gearbox Book, the front and Back axle are complete mounted to this Gearbox with a Kardan-shaft ??? So there is no extra gearbox , is that korrekt ?
And how much distance inbetween the gearbox and the back axle is there - how long ist that kardan-shaft???
I might have something in mind that could help you.
I have a kamerad who works a lot with ZF Gearboxes, he own´s an old 4x4 HANOMAG of the armee. He put free running nub´s on the front axle . He also found an Overdrive , that he put inbetween the gearbox and Back axle. And, DONE.that´s it !
The front axle is without funktion, if he need´s it no problem, and he´s also good in long distance, without big trouble.
And if that doesn´t help at all, there´s another chance to make your scania in good running order.
If you find out about the front axle, and the disstance between Gearbox and Bakaxle, maybe we will find something for you and you don´t need the gearing from 4,93:1 !!
On Page 2, of this whole discusion, there is the korrekt picture and explanation of the bak
axle RD 82. That is the axle of LT75 and 76, with the differential put in from the top. - By Per Thomsen -
