"A lot of our work is in open farm and ranch country. It's rough,
dusty service that's plenty mean on trucks. But Eaton Axles never let us down. As a matter of fact, these axles have cut our downtime
at least 20%. '

"...cut downtime for us:
"We've used eaton Axles for nineteen . years and we've never had one lay an egg. We couldn't meet our schedules without the dependable performance we enjoy with these axles. They're quiet, rugged, easy to service. I don't know what that comes to in egg-miles, but it comes to a lot of money saved."
. Rugged EATON design saves repairs
With eaton Single Reduction Axles, you get bigger ring gears, that go thousands of extra miles trouble-free. There's less wear and tear on gearing.. . greater . protection against road failures.
Your drive lines will last longer because Eaton Tandem Drive Axles are close coupled. This eliminates the need for acute angles in the drive line.

Eaton Single Reduction Axles have a positive oiling system that protects all moving parts at all truck speeds -- even when a truck is just getting under way. Again, the result is longer axle life, less wear, fewer repairs.
