[Tigers] Tiger Axel Lengths

[Tom Witt]

I'm not sure if this ever got answered? I happen to have a spare Tiger 
axle and here are the measurements. I assume the axle is the same on 
both sides? I thought I be able to read it better after I took the 
picture..., but the overall length is right about 26-3/4". Probably more 
important to you is the spline area that is right about 2". Not sure if 
what you are calling the "pin" is the spacer that goes between the axles 
(in the carrier) to transfer the wheel bearing load. I believe (check to 
make sure) there is something like .004-.006 end play that gets measured 
with a dial indicator. The axle is pushed in on one side, the indicator 
zeroed and then the axle is pushed back from the other side to get the 
reading.  Hope this is of some help.
