ya I did. I've been trying to figure out what it is. I've not heard of an RT6613. It's a direct drive 13 I believe and judging by the brackets on it I don't think I can use it

looks like it's also a deep reduction 13 (splits the bottom instead of the top gears) and is a low torque rating so it won't work

For those who don't know I've been driving company trucks while fixing up a 23 year old Pete. I've just abut gone bankrupt trying to make a living driving for someone else lately so I put my old pete on With landstar.

I've got 5 inches of fuel in my tanks and $100 in my pocket. I just got my signs and permits now I'm just waiting for a trialer, hopefully I get one before I run out of fuel
Well if you ever in the Atlanta area hit me up maybe I can buy you lunch driver! at least I could do!
