Freightrain Posted November 13, 2025 Share Posted November 13, 2025 Gold anodized to keep from rusting. Looks great!! I'm so unhappy with the way my wheels turned out when I did them. Just 5? yrs and they look like chit. Rusty and ugly. I should have just painted them with a brush. 1 Quote Larry 1959 B61 Liv'n Large......................

mowerman Posted November 13, 2025 Author Share Posted November 13, 2025 You know I trained on one just like that way back in 1976 and I find it very very hard to tell people. It’s an antique back in those days those things with the king of the highway in the north east. 2 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/73081-finally-some-dm-progress/page/96/#findComment-585476 Share on other sites More sharing options...

mowerman Posted November 13, 2025 Author Share Posted November 13, 2025 Paul when I was putting those last two wheels together and putting in the flaps, I was thinking to myself the last time I did this I was only 17. 52 years ago it was a little bit easier back then I had a little bit of trouble trying to get the lock rings back on since I did not have a rim stand. 2 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/73081-finally-some-dm-progress/page/96/#findComment-585491 Share on other sites More sharing options...
mowerman Posted November 13, 2025 Author Share Posted November 13, 2025 And yes, I took your advice and put the brake adjuster in the vice. I removed the Zirk fitting and shot a bunch of penetrating oil in there and spun it completely around. Thanks for that. 1 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/73081-finally-some-dm-progress/page/96/#findComment-585492 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bob Probably mentioned this before, check valves in lift pump can loose prime. 1 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/73081-finally-some-dm-progress/page/96/#findComment-593365 Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was hoping I didn’t have to go into the pump but let’s see what happens. These two lines are been on there since 66 as far as I know so let’s see what happens and thanks again for your input.
