To visually distinguish the Series 5000 MFD from
the Series 7000 MFD: the Series 5000 unit has
four tapped holes or wheel studs on the axle
flanges, while the Series 7000 has five tapped
bolt holes on the axle flanges.
The Series 5000 MFD is wider than the Series
7000 MFD. While the main castings are the
same, the outside edge (measured at the top) of
the axle flanges on the 7000 are 2" (5 cm) out-
board of the seam where the axle cover meets
the drop axle housing. See Figure 1.8.

The outside edge (measured at the top) of the
axle flanges on the 5000 are 3 1/2" (8.9 cm) out-
board of the seam where the axle cover meets
the drop axle housing. See Figure 1.9.
