I pulled my front axle apart so I could start restoring it in case I need it.  I was curious about the ratio but all the is is a bunch of gobbledygook I can't decipher.

The numbers on the big gear are

0951 11 6 86 spicert32957ma1aa571 46 ' 13

Does anyone know how to decipher that?  I'd like to know what's in the four certain before I go cleaning it.

All four cylinder Eagles came with 3.54:1 ratios.

Ring gear diameter 7 9/16".
Pinion/Ring Gear combo: 13/46.

46 / 13 = 3.53846154
AMC/Jeep gauges are for amusement only. Any correlation between them and reality is purely coincidental!

So the last 2 #'s are the tooth counts per gear.. First load are probably a part, ID or Serial #.
