Broke axle

[Ktrim]

No matter how heavy you think something is built, it's still breakable. 10 ton peterbilt single axle dump. Not what I exactly what I wanted to do this weekend.

Well, that looks like fun

 

[Tughill Tom]

Well, that's more then a 2 beer job on a weekend.

I actually don't drink. Survive on coffee. It was a 3 large dunkin job to get it apart

Hopefully you could dump the load before repairs were made ?

 

[Ktrim]

Yeah. Was actually able to dump off at jobsite before getting hooked back to shop.

I certainly empathize with your broken axle. I was leading a 24 hour endurance race a few years ago and I had an axle break on my race car within 200 yards of the finish. I could not even coast across the finish line. One of my competitors saw what had happened, came up behind me, and pushed me across the finish line into 2nd place.
