    Default Had a major boo boo yesterday





    This is what happens when you spin a bearing at 70 mph. Now we are in Kimball Nebraska until Thursday.

    Pics are on photobucket so no reduction there sorry And that was the funny part. We had just stopped at the rest area on the Wyoming Nebraska Line. Their was no heat smell of anything burning or any outward signs on the wheel. But 15 miles on down the road poof. It flew off. But no car was hit and it even bounced over the barb wire fence into the field. So no damage to anything except the trailer of course.

    I saw that too Mike and was going to mention it. Then I saw that it was Orangetxguy up to his old tricks again..........namely bossing folks around and spreading negativity.

    Plus, the detail on the pics is great!

    thanks for the roses on the pics. Having a good digital camera helps. And I do not know about anyone else but the size does not effect my 17 inch laptop screen.

    Change your resolution to something higher than 800X600 :P

    Actually, I realized my resolution is set at 1400X1050, so they fit on my screen.

    It appears to me that the bearings ran dry, otherwise there would be major oil all over the place under the trailer, not just that little stain on the air bag.

    .
    If you can't shift it smoothly, you shouldn't be driving it.

    At least it is only equipment damaged! Could have been worse. Thank goodness for no fire. If you are still in Kimball Thursday PM, look for Westar Truck # 293 pulling into the little truckstop/cafe about 8 or 9 PM and holler at me. I deliver there Friday AM. Too bad I won't be there earlier, I'd let you buy lunch

    I would agree. At the very least, the brake shoes should be coated with oil on both the inside and outside. There just isn't enough oil there.

    Unfortunately, many companies are using wheel bearing GREASE now, and it means that the driver has no way to know if there is enough in the bearings or not. You can not check the level like you could with the oil. The pics do not show what type of hub cover the trailer uses. The word I get is that the bearings last just as long with grease instead of oil, but that is only true if the shop puts enough grease in the hub when they have it apart. If not, it won't last. The bearing runs dry, gets hot, ceases up, and that's the result.
    Destroy the cities...
    and they will rebuild them.
    Destroy the farms...
    and grass will grow in the streets of the cities.

    Destroy the economy of the blue-collar worker...
    and grass will grow in the executive offices.

    The bill has come due.

    Remember Rev..........Mike and Stan are probably operating on Commodore 64s with monochrome displays. After they both finish their games of Atari Pong, and pull their landline handsets from their docks, we may be able to help them out a bit! Then again, maybe not. They're both diehards!

    I was sitting at the Flying-j in carlisle ,PA last year about this time when I seen a driver pull out and lose his left rear drive the same way the tire/hub/axle shaft jammed up under his landing gear bending it pretty good ,and blocking the lane until he got loose ...He was p i s s e d but I reminded him how lucky he was it did not happen at interstate speed or in the boonies . I think this happens many times due to lack of lubrcation of bearings from lack of propper inspections for bad seals as opposed to defectice bearing races .
