8 3/4 gear setup

Look on the back of the pinion gear for an etched number. Like .047 or something like that or 3.067.
Very first set of 4.56 gears we had set up in a 489 housing split the crush sleeve like a laser cut. Been using a crush sleeve Eliminator ever since then.

It says in scribe 73 and 2.767" ? I also was able to polish the inside of a good used Timken pinion bearing so it just slides on to the hilt so I can use that as a setup bearing..
