8 Pinion in a 10 Pinion housing

[WHPuller 1]

I have a 10 pinion rear end that is blown (wipped out the pinions) I was wondering if you could swap the 8 pinion carrier and axles into a 10 pinion housing?

 

The 10 pinion is 1 1/8" axle and I found an 8 pinion carrier, no axles on ebay for a reasonable price. Will the axles from the 10 pinion work with that carrier? The ad says they were 1 1/8" axles but were sold separate.

The 8 pinion axles are both the same size the 10 pinion axles are different one is longer than the other. You can put a 8 pinion in where a 10 pinion was but you have to clearance the bull gear some. Theres a post on here that tells you what to do.

I believe there is a "Service Bulletin" that deals with exactly what you want to do.  It should be in the Manuals Section under "Service Bulletins".
