  1. This is just speculation - but - with stud piloted rims if you overtorque or undertorque the nuts the rims crack from bolt hole to bolt hole and the weight of the truck actually rests on the studs. With hug piloted rims the weight of the truck rests on the hub, even if you have stud failure on one or two studs it's safer. Personally I hate Daytons because of the additional work involved in mounting tires - you have to tighten the bolts while spinning the rim to true it. Also Dayton hub parts aren't always in very good shape and while you may be able to true the wheel you may not be able to get the correct torque and the rim spins on the hub - note the protrusions on the rim to keep the hub from spinning. All of these are safety issues with hub pilot being the safest. Tire busters aren't at the top of the heap at most shops
  2. Pretty sure JCB is it's own. Go to an auction sometime and look at differences - Komatsu has massive castings base of boom tip of boom, stick, John Deere/Hitachi are welded, Cat has castings but small. Always check boom and stick box welds on any machine older than 98 or so. Hyundai buys parts from same manufacturers as Komatsu - they can be good bargain machine.
  3. I'm new here - learned to drive on Mack dumptrucks, 237 and 5&2's, picked up an '82 R686ST more as a pet than anything, price was so good only have to use it around the farm two weeks a year to pay for it. The engine is a re-man from 94, and has this number on the block 86SB 3504 The injector pump is a 6BB-110T-6900B1 It has three oil filters and a two piece valve cover - Thanks, J
