This quick disconnect on the brake line between tractor and carrier, does it serve as like a proportioning valve? Or does it just shut off the flow of brake juice when disconnected?
Forgot to mention, he has 18 what I guess you could call nos recaps, and 2 used tires. I'm interested in a couple, I'm gonna call him back next week to see what shipping would be. Unfortunately the only way to know for sure is to mount them , air them up to 22 psi and see what sidewalls look...
I called, he has recaps for 200, used tires for 125, he will ship. For what's it's worth he says they have been stored inside, but we all know these are old tires. He said he will send me some pics, I'll post them here
If any others interested in this bearing want to wait till I get mine to be sure I will post up the results of what I get, he told me it would be a least a week maybe more till I get it
Yes I'm sure, 89 turns up nada I checked it both ways, fella that helped me said 88208 was a valid number, cleaned the old bearing a little more, easier to see now.
I used the number on the bearing, 88208WW, it was produced by BCA. The company I called is locateballbearings.com, I emailed them an inquiry, the responded with a number to call direct 1 800 409 3632 ext 7021, a guy named Keith took care of me
They are a wholesale company, but would sell me...
I located the bearing from a place called locate ball bearings.com, they have 63 in stock, it is almost extinct, it is a BCA bearing and they don't even list is any more. The NSN and military part number show obsolete everywhere I checked. Looks like 63 dollars plus the ride.
Just an FYI for...
And if course something broke taking everything apart, a bolt in the bearing cap where the knuckle attaches to the tractor, I barley turned it and she snapped right off, glad I found it now
Here it all is, rubber insert looks good, the bearing not so much, it quit being a bearing some time back and became a solid mass
Getting the bearing off the shaft was the hardest part, air chisel and plenty o pb blaster saved the day
Bearing has a number on it, already found a replacement...
Yes it is, I'm glad I decided to take mine apart, the rubber looks to be in good shape, but the bearing is sized, rusted on to the drive shaft.
The splines inside the yoke are pretty rusty and pretty dry, glad I took mine apart, once I replace the bearing and get everything lubed up good I...
The story I got was Smith and Edwards, surplus store there, had a trailer full so they had been stored inside. I called out there a few years ago, 60 bucks each but they won't ship. I would still want a proof of life photo, I don't know anyone in that area and it's a long drive.
