Need help figuring out what kind of axle I've got for my a1/2 Tecate. Any tell tale signs of manufacturers? I've had it for years but never really cared. Looked good on my shelf, but now the perspective buyer wants to know. Hate to sell, but I need space for the 63 econoline pickup!

Post a pic. Durablues are thicker, finishlines have a distinct taper on the end where the hubs fit

Is it extended or stock? My 6" durablue is machined one size across the whole axle. It even has a stamp on it that says "durablue"

It's a 6" over. I have not seen any stamping on it, but I will give it another look.

What trike is the durablue in? This is an early axle, I'd doesn't use the durablue lock nut, just the stock jam nuts

correct on the stock jam nuts, it seems most I've seen have had the other lock nut setup. It's a really nice axle, but, it's just to darn wide.

I don't really want to sell it, I'm not starving or anything, BUT it's only been ran about 4 times in 8 years. It makes my t3 look awesome but is it that useable?? I'd never sell it if it were a stock length or even a +4. Decisions decisions.

Think hard about it. I won't say you'll never own one again if you sell it but you will have to pay pretty well to get another

Guy offered my 6 bills for it, The guy sold the 63 economize truck out from under me, sooo looks like the axle is staying in my shop! Never did find a durablue stamp on it however
