As Joey says, if they are nylon (I have only done one set of these) they (king pins) push right in with out reaming In my limited experience only bronze bushes need to be reamed Paul

No it's not a bad thing, or I don't think it is anyway These can take lot of pushing to shift, or they can take virtually nothing and just slip right out Unfortunately I find they normally take a lot to get moving I also need to use a adjustable reamer on the bushes once I have pushed them, they shrink a bit pushing them in They ream out easily, so just take baby size cuts, I can normally turn the reamer by hand as I wind it thru I also muck about a bit getting as much shim in as possible between the stub axle and the axle beam, I figure least amount of movement makes for the neatest fit and best driving pattern Run a drill bit thru the grease nipple (zerk) holes thru the bush, really make sure this is deburred spotlessly inside the bush and the double wound spirral groove is lined up and in the correct position on the bush and the hole, all bronze bush type of king pins I have done have a double spiral grease groove, yours maybe different I wouldn't want to go to all this effort and not be able to grease them Good luck with it all Paul

Here you go, I found it youtube for you OD Paul

That was on TV last night in this part of Australia Funny story about the movie, now my boy as a teenager growing up would find stuff I had bought and hidden and would usually use it and so on long before I did This really pissed me off So I see the movie "They Live" for sale one day, we were sugar cane farming in north Queensland at the time and in the wet season (only have wet and dry seasons in that part of the world, no winter or summer etc) it rains for a few months then stops So I would buy old movies etc so I had something to do in the wet season So I had this movie and was so proud of myself as the Curley kid never found it Problem was I could never find it either 🤪😂 Shifted house and all, still can't find it So the Princess and I are going on a cruise next week with.the Curley kid and his lady friend, then home for two weeks and then fly to Calgary for a couple of weeks before flying to NewYork and catching up with a mate and then back on the kero kite home So all this exposure to people in confined spaces I thought it would be pretty shitty if I got Covid while been chased by a grizzly bear halfway across Canada So I got my Covid shot/booster apart from a sore arm and feeling a little flat and out of energy, I'm fine and have no desire to buy a Toyota Should of watched more of the movie last night, might have come out with a new Toyota Take care Other Dog Here's a shitty load I did for a mate a couple of years ago to give you something to laugh at jaz this thread up a bit Paul

Yep, hit the frothies and let some fire works off Do you lot drink beers like this, or is just a Australian thing ?? Have a great day everyone Paul

Vlad I think it is plenty high enough now, even if it wasn't to be I guess they can just tow it to higher ground Problem is in this part of the world, it is so flat there is no higher ground Paul

I don't hear complaints apart from unusual or perhaps unexpected shifts They do appear to hold up okay even at 130 ton GCM Paul

Vlad, not yet, I think we hang onto trucks a lot longer in Australia than most countries And we tend to really wear them out beforw trading them in Paul

Was over Shepparton way today Went to the M.O.V.E as it's known Or for dumb ass's like me The Museum of Vehicle Evolution The display Anthem that no doubt toured the country, I have seen it before in a dealership Anyway a RHD Anthem The sleeper has a great big walk thru checker plate frame for shows etc there was plenty of other gear there from cars to push bikes Paul

Got sent this tonight Little house on a big trailer Lifted on with a crane you can see hiding in the trees Paul

With the greatest of respect I'm gunna call this urban myth No difference to pulling jumper leads off a vehicle with a flat battery once you've jump started it I'm sure you have heard plenty of stories and had blown tail lights but Im calling this as myth It just makes sense at all If you were disconnecting a coil on a huge solenoid (a inductive load) I would say it's possible But not a battery as they are a capacitive load and as such would absorb any spike in voltage not creat a spike This goes against the basic electrical theory we operate the entire world on Anyway, carry on everyone and I'll go back to painting the house Paul

Check your ground connections on the truck Most vehicles have more than one Unbolt, clean back to bare metal, bolt back on The generating system is working or the truck would stop when you disconnect the battery 12.5 volts would hardly charge a 12 volt battery Paul

The apprentice yesterday was informing me of his issues with his lady friend A month or so ago he was informing me that after listening to me and wisdom with marriage he is gunna make it all work better for him, he's gunna lay down the rules at the start and life's gunna be great for him Yesterday he informs that during the previous evening he has hit a snag with his plan "She doesn't even make sense when we are having a argument" He goes onto explain "I was heading to Echuca (big town in northern Victoria) with my mate and asked her if she wanted to come for a ride with me and my mate, she said no, we grabbed a meal, bought some stuff and mucked about for a few hours before heading home. She was in a shitty mood when I got home and I don't know why. I tried to explain that she didn't want to come for a ride so whats the problem?" I was trying not to laugh as he went on and on Finally I reached out with my hand and shook his hand and said "welcome to the club" Anyways I imparted some advice on how to repair this situation I wonder what time I'll get the call from the hospital to collect him ha ha ha He really is a nice young bloke but pretty thick at the same time, I guess we all were I have learnt when you bog a farm tractor is not the correct time to ask the Princess to hop in and steer and especially when the chain breaks and it sorts out the glass in the cab window Everything is always to heavy for the Princess to help And she can never just help without taking control I have also learnt it's easier to just take lot longer and do the job on my own Paul

This is a world wide deal, oh the performance when help is requested from the Princess LOL Paul

Yep, the cab floor and kick panel is to hot to even touch Wonder if Mack cabs rusted out here because of all the sweat Paul

Not good at all, I'm not sure if the quality issues are in Australia as our market is tiny compared to the U.S. market and quality has to be spot on to compete Paul

Bob yes it is bit drawn out, but it definitely suggests that a well used Volvo/Mack is better than a new Kenworth quite a surprise and not a good look on new delivered Kenworth Paul

Im sure it feels hot, but I guess it is all a matter of what we are used to Timothy Maikshilo (he's in Connecticut these days) laughs at me and my sooking over 0°C 32°f And yet I work all day at 40°C 104°f I reckon in 2022 we 46°C 112°f for a fortnight, that was hot enough, yet work went on All that been said, some ways to stay cool Mum always said when we were kids and couldn't sleep at night "sleep upside down in bed" as in head were your feet normally are meant to be It works even today Wet a small towel and hang it around your neck Take your shirt off and wet it Wear cotton, chuck that nylon T shirt away Most towns have outdoor pools in Australia Oh best of best, sitting under the garden sprinkler Ah summer time Paul

Dunno if anyone on here watches the Boston trucker I reckon this must be the best free advertising Mack could ever hope for and worst Kenworth could hope for And who ever did the pre delivery on the Kenworth needs a foot in the ass Paul

It'll buff out 🤪 Paul

Yep I do, you don't have to explain it anymore than that Try keeping a straight face while having to talk to one of these jokers Paul

No good at all this shingles business, hope you all start to feel better shortly Paul

You know what a man bun is called in Australia ? A pull starter for a cock sucker Paul
