Hi Ron,The actual serial number in this case does not matter.
This pinion shaft is part of a Caterpillar change up. Early D2s
that had a 6B9857 pinion and 6B9991 bevel gear changed up
to a 3K3541 bevel gear and 3K3540 shaft. They called it a
coarse pitch bevel gear and pinion,to give longer service life.
I have the 3K3540 bevel gear just need pinion shaft.
Any older 3J, 5J,4U,5U may have been changed up in its life.
Part # will be stamped on gear end of pinion shaft.
Thanks Joe Westfall
