Popular Post hicrop10 Posted November 28, 2024 Author Popular Post Share Posted November 28, 2024 I finally decided not to separate the frame from the bogies.Talking to someone that has done it before telling me how intense of a job it is.So I got all the sandblasting done,now I’m just about done with the hand sanding.Hopefully on Monday a fellow will come down and give me a price to paint the whole project.Will post some pictures tomorrow. 8 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/73175-mack-b873sx-restoration/page/7/#findComment-562830 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Geoff Weeks Posted 18 hours ago Share Posted 18 hours ago (edited) Wonder why they were made that way? Normal wheel studs (for spoke wheels) are course thread both ends. Normal studs for other purposes, the course thread is the stationary thread (on the end of the stud that stays put) and the fine thread is on the rotating (nut) end. That is back-asswards. Course thread resists being pulled out, fine thread provides more clamping force before failure. axle drive studs, course in the hub, fine on the nut.
