    Re: Volvo 290 lower unit Hello: If it is a 1990 then most likely it came from a DPA drive. No problem there though as the remarkable thing about the AQ series is that you can use the lowers through out the AQ line. Many people make the mistake of calling later models, 290's for some reason. I...
