Re: Wheel Washers
This is a follow up as to what I have found and repaired so far.
Luckily, the bashed up axle ends with questionable threads, after cleaning them up, were able to take the 90 ft. lbs. when tightening the axle nuts.
I added two axle shims to each axle. Probably could have gotten by with one on both.
Since I only had the screwed up right side drum, I put it back on until I can find another. Most likely, I will just buy some new cast iron drums for both sides from Randy Gross.
Will put some miles on it and see if everything stays put.
As always, thanks for everyone's input and suggestions.
