This is my steer axle brake can and it is leaking. Local Mack wants $1050, I did find one online for $830. Still a far cry from the $120 that I was expecting. Is there a cross over to a standard can or am I stuck with this part?

The 1 that I cut with a wiz wheel was a fail with the tool. I got my portable welder going and put a nut on it. It broke the weld several times before I backed the outer nut off and welded on the end too. Then it came loose. The other one the tool kept slipping and got the outer nut weld action too. Before welding I drilled 3 holes in the inner lug nut flare and gave it a good dose of PB Blaster. That one broke loose easier. New tires with a few inner/outer lug nuts and I'm all set!! Thanx guys! I had an old Dodge Dart (1965) that had me stumped until an ol' timer told me that they were LH thread on the left side of the car.

I have the Ken-Tool above on the way. However, this might not work on the one I slotted. That one may require welding a nut to it - good idea that I never would have thought of. I'm an equal opportunity inner lug breaker - I have 1 broken on each side, so 1 RH thread and 1 LH thread. I haven't ran my portable welder in over a year and the shop welder doesn't have 1/4 mile long leads. I'm sure there will be fun and games to get the welder going.

Not sure where to put this, so I'll try here. I bought an old trailer several years ago and the tires are in need of changing. While removing the inner lugs; 2 of the square ends sheared off. Pipe wrench is a fail, so what other ways is there to get these off?? I cut down the side of one with an angle grinder, but couldn't get all the way to the rim. I'm thinking that I can't get to the rim with a torch either (w/o doing damage to the rim). This trailer has old skool brakes and would require a lot of work to replace the lug stud, if I just cut the stud off.

I might do that. It will have to be moved from where it is now as it is in the way of another project. There is a slim possibility that I will travel east this summer to clean up my brother's estate. If so, I will announce it in this thread. I will travel non-toll roads, so I-80 to Quad Cities, I-74 to Indy, I-70 to PA, I-79 to I-68 to I-70 into Balt, then I-95 N to DE. Interested parties need to have a way to get it off the trailer - cherry picker, skid steer, fork lift ...

I talked to Inland Truck Parts, they have no use for it. Not another trans shop within 600 miles and Macks aren't real popular in the Rockys

I don't know what scrap weight on this is, but I'm gonna find out next scrap run I do. Need a taker or off it goes

Enuff pix of the truck, where are the pix of "stacks"??

Unfortunately I still have this. Gotta clean up the yard. Make an offer. I trade too!! Guns, Post hole digger for a skid steer, 24.5 hub pilot rims, Flat bed for a dually Ford, ... ??

I still have this and don't want to scrap it out just yet. I get it that transportation is the issue. If interested, let me know, sometimes a transportation issue will present a solution.

I've had it for 10 years or so. I do need to change the diff oil. Guessing synthetic is ok in these top loaders

I'm in the high desert of Wyoming. I'm not saying mold can't grow here, just unlikely. I treat my bulk fuel with biobor to prevent algae, when I buy it at the pump I don't use any additives.

I wanted to wrap this up. Turns out there was about an inch of nasty sludge and peeling tank liner inside my passenger tank (the one that the engine sucks from). I pulled the 2 drain holes and flushed with 10 gal of diesel. I realized that this was gonna get expensive and switch to the pressure washer. After 2 thorough washes at 2200 psi, I let the tank dry for 2 days then added diesel. For the last 2 weeks it has been running great! Pulls 29lb of boost, doesn't spitter when under a load, starts up every time. I have the driver's side tank shut off and suspect that there is an inch of crud in that one too. Maybe Sunday I will start the draining and pressure washing routine on that tank. I don't think this was from a 1 time fill up, just built up over the years.

I finally got the loader, excavator and dozer running good all at the same time - and the dump truck is holding up the new driveway. Last pic is the new driveway I'm cutting in.
