I was able to source a set of 3.55 R&P gears for my 46 1/2 ton. This thread is multi-purpose, and forgive me if it needs to go into the parts wanted forum.

For those that have done the R&P conversion, any and all advice, suggestions, do's and don'ts are greatly appreciated. Procedures, tool recommendations ect.

I have been following Deve's torque tube rebuild/overhaul article. It contains a very comprehensive parts list as far as installation parts are concerned.

www.devestechnet.com/home/DifferentialOverhaul

I have located the majority of parts from several different suppliers. I can not locate the differential side bearings (Hyatt #KA-11445-Z), the Front pinion bearing (New Departure #5306), and the Rear pinion bearing (Hyatt #OR1506/46B or C-1506). These manufacturers and part numbers are from the Deve's list. Does anyone know of anyone or anywhere I might be able to source them. Or, do you have alternative part manufacturers and numbers.

Appreciate everyones time and input.
