Deuce and Half Outer Race for Wide 5

The Deuce and Half Outer Race for Wide 5 is a precision hub bearing component specifically engineered for the M35A2 "Deuce and Half" platform, a classic military truck. This outer race is a critical part of the Wide 5 wheel bearing assembly, which is favored by restorers and off-road enthusiasts who require reliable axle geometry and load capacity.

Manufactured by Diversified Machine, this outer race is precision-machined to OEM tolerances and designed to work in conjunction with matching inner races and rolling elements in a tapered roller bearing setup. The Wide 5 configuration refers to the five-lug wheel bolt pattern common on vintage military and heavy-duty trucks, and maintaining exact concentricity and surface finish is crucial to prevent premature wear or hub failure under load.

Restorers, military vehicle enthusiasts, and mechanics specializing in vintage truck restoration will find this outer race beneficial when overhauling wheel bearings on the M35A2 platform. While it plays a vital role in the hub assembly, it is important to consider the condition of other components to ensure optimal performance and safety.
