The spring brakes were caged on this one when I picked it up from Portsmouth. I put the Kroil to the bolts last week in hopes of getting them off this weekend. I am really concerned about the condition of the front axle cans since they have been sitting for so long with the lines taken off of them. I am going to budget for some new ones to be on the safe side.

I am headed back to the local Ace today to pick up another sack of brass fittings. I found a brand new air dryer that hooks into the air supply for the CTIS so I will hook that up tomorrow. The front glad hands will go back on tomorrow too since that is a big source of air loss
