simon king Posted September 22, 2017 Share Posted September 22, 2017 Were the front and back axles of the MW and O Series Bedfords the same? thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
john1950 Posted September 22, 2017 Share Posted September 22, 2017 MW and O type different front hubs, Axle beam may be the same. I think O type rear axle is rated heavier, larger brake drums. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Richard Farrant Posted September 22, 2017 Share Posted September 22, 2017 (edited) I am assuming 'flatfront' refers to the appearance of the bonnet and you are asking about rear axles? MW, OX and OY rear axles are all different. The MW and OX are similar in design but the OX has a larger diameter diff carrier due to larger crown wheel. The OY has a stronger axle casing without the tin cover (all cast). Each one has differing ratios. I would think it possible the MW axle could be narrower than an OX.
