Brownies are fitted and built to fit ENGINE torque ratings by the first two model numbers, I e, 5831 designed for 5800 max torque engine. Watson OD trans are harder to figure. Not all are up to diesel torque, although many have been used that way. Post your info for a start!
Brownies came with TruStop disc brake [censored]’y which allows for park brake(legal) to vehicle. Many were removed with the advent of spring brakes, more valuable with brake disc. Place in Denver can reline pads.
