Please help me to understand why I had to have 700E drivers machined to fit a 763 last month. I re-wheeled some 700E's late last year without having to do so. I'm really confused now.

Pappy,

Without seeing the drivers I would suggest either of two possibilities. 1. The drivers were LTI versions from 1990, which were used on the remake of the 700E, which was based upon the 773 chassis and the smaller 773 axles; or 2. The wheels were original raw castings, which had not yet been bored to size. We have original raw castings from the 1936-1940 period, and aside from having to form the flange and tread of the wheel, the center bore needs to be trued.
