Finally found time to do my hub pilot conversion on the steer axle. This gets me on “regular” semi truck wheels instead of Dayton’s which can be a bear to get running true with no vibrations. The hubs came from ConMet, they are a fantastic company that can identify a hub with only your o bearing and seal numbers. They also were able to tell me which brake drum I needed. It got new brake shoes, new drums, new Timken bearings, new seals and filled with Schaeffer 75-140.
Also, I have purchased an ex Modot trailer that I will be fixing up once it’s home. I will start a separate thread for it since this one has gone over so well. It will be sand blasted and painted to match the dump bed.
