Well, I'll throw out one more source.  I have a partial copy of a
"Specifications
Book", CT-402, dated Dec, 1971.  Here is what it shows:
FA-52:  Std 1310 4x4, 4000 Lb. Cap, Dana model 70F.  Only avail in 4.88
ratio.
Axle shaft min dia 1.321, ends are 23 spline 1.5"

RA-15:  7500 Lb cap IH built, open carrier.  Axles shaft min dia 1-11/32,
ends
16 spline 1-1/2".  Avail in 4.3, 4.87, 5.57, 6.17 ratios.  I bet you have
4.87.

TC-141 Transfer case:  No listing.  TC-142 crosses to NP205.  As I recall
the TC-141
is a very similar Dana case, but I forget what the difference is.

T-44:  Optional for Scout 4x2.  T-45 is same unit, but optional for Scout
4x4.  It is
a Warner T-18-A, with ratios 1=4.02, 2=2.41, 3=1.41, 4=1.0, Rev=4.73. 
Helical
gears with synchroo 2,3,4.  Sliding spur 1st and rev.

It would be GREAT if Binder books had a reprint available of this book.  It
shows
Scout and 1010-1510.  I wish I had the WHOLE thing!
