Thanx Mrs

About 1974/75 we purchased 2 new trucks to the fleet

White Road Commander & Atkinson

they both came with tubeless 11R22.5  tyres and all our other trucks were 1000x20 tubed tyres

we were informed we can gradually update to the tubless as the diameter were the same and you

could run  a tubed tyre/rim along side a tubeless

Old Alloy chassis rails R used by heavy haul lowboy mobs as boards for the out riggers

so B 4 scrap n m ask Heavy haul jokers

Eye copied this from the KW Manual

cya

Not Kidding

it looks like the main leaf the one with the eye to take the pin is the leaf below the broken one

the top leaf only goes for the ride

In the Kenworth manual it sez U can weld springs

but also advizes that if it brakes often ...... time to look for a new spring

I say if this joker had his trailer brakes on it may have prevented the runaway

Starting @ 3:25 - 4:07

There again look n back in hindsite if the crane driver hit reverse it may have brought the jalopy to a halt

Me thinks th@ valve is the early V: of the yellow push/pull of today

we had m on the KW from the mid 60's

Swithes air off to the trailer so U can unhook

it also  a proporsion n valve  60/40

I strongly disagree with NOT FOR PARKING

if U don't have trailer brakes full on ( use trailer hand trolly lever with engine ideling 

U can have a truck run away wen loading on a hill

3 dash valves front axle (dry road- Slippery Road) ...... Diff Lock.......... Trailer Control (Truck/Tractor protection valve)

A cupla pix of our Mack 'R' model

I worked out why Mack had the lever type parking brake control .... was use to on/off button like on most trucks

I was out in our mack TiltTray truck picking up a 12 t load on the Mack 8x4

cumin up the steep track back on to road and had to stop to let traffic pass

I had a little trouble do n a smooth take of

Then relized the mack parking brake lever was there to gradually release the brakes = no worries
