Allis Chalmers M65 Grader

I'm working on replacing the transmission/differential unit in my AC M65 grader and I need the clearance fit between the tandem housing and the axle end cap for the fiber discs that the tandem housing rotates on. There are shims to set the clearance of those fiber discs and my piece of a service manual does not include the Tandem Drive section. I have worn Google out, no dice.

I'm sure the D or DD model is the same. The Galion 503 tandem unit is similar if not the same and the clearance is more than likely very close to this one. I did replace those discs on one of these 503's one time, but I've slept since then.

Does anybody have a service manual with that clearance fit?

Hi, D9gdon.
Try here. I've scrolled down the page and there are quite a few offerings for D, DD, M65 and 65B graders. Take your pick. Thereza heap of 'em for M65 about 3/4 down the page as well as some scattered through the list above that.

Hope this helps.

No Deas, not looking for service manual. I'm looking for a spec on the clearance, like .025" or something. It'll be in the service manual but I didn't want to wait a week to get one and was wondering if anybody had a way to look it up for me.
