did the heritage I have a narrower back axle than the heritage II ?

What

Heritage do you have. I believe with the grey metal emtor had narrower axle. The plastic emptor had a wider axle.
The heritage wheels were all wide on every model.

 

[repairman]

All Heritage I models had the metal emptor that was painted gray with the narrow axle.

The wider axle and spacers were used on the Heritage II and Legend II when the plastic emptor was implemented.

I believe the Heritage II was still offered with a shakeout option and it would've came with the narrow axle if it had the sani-emptor. Ben would know this better.

Dwayne,

All Heritage model 1-HDs (Heritage 84 also) had the narrow 4.5" long axle as the only Em-Tor they had was large.

Beginning with the Heritage II model 2-HD, the Mini Em-Tor was used on most models and thus had the newer, 6" long rear axle; however, those Heritage IIs with the shake-out bag also had the large Em-Tor and thus the shorter 4.5" rear axle.

The Legend II was the last machine to have the shake-out bag option.
