    Blown Hub Seal?

    I could be wrong ,but I thought we were dealing with a rear hub.

    Blown Hub Seal?

    That looks like a speedy sleeve may have been used on that ,take a small sharp cold chisel and see if it peals off. As suggested by simp5782 a new one may be your best bet ,your seal surface is pitted and worn .Probably the start of your failure.

    Blown Hub Seal?

    The M939 A1 and A2 Booth use greased bearings with seals to keep the oil out I believe .that hub may have been assembled incorrectly .You should check if that bearing material made it into the differential. Probably time to look at all the hubs.

    Commercial license required for the MTVR?

    I think a point is being missed ,part of getting a CDL is learning how to drive a large truck properly and safely which includes all the systems the brakes being most important. Just because you can get around the rules and drive a heavy truck without a CDL does not mean you should.

    M809 Series- Front axle work and what to expect

    I bough one works great on the front but will not work on the rear if you have singles. Also keep a good grip on the handle , if she lets loose under load it will spin back hard and hurt lots

    My M931A1 conversion to a dump truck

    I had my truck go through commercial inspection yesterday and it passed with no problems found at all . Going to insure it today so I went through a scale and have gone over all the local vehicle regulations . My truck full of fuel with the spare on the back weighs 26500lbs , gvw with running...

    All 5-tons: Heavy Duty Torque Rod Ends

    All my bushings are good ,but I wanted safety bars so this is what I did for $60 using 2.5 inch flat washers lots of water /air and short welds.Not the best looking welds ,very awkward to get a good position .Got all twelve ends done this way .

    Introducing the Soldier B HubHelper!!

    Good idea ,but I would not balance something that heavy on a floor jack .If that falls over it's going to hurt .I would hang it from an engine hoist or small a frame jib .On my A1 I separated the hub and drum and did an outboard drum set up to make the parts manageable. Just my thoughts ,be safe.

    Educate me on the dump...the M929 / M930

    On my truck I moved the spare to the tail gate so I could get as much weight on the front as possible

    Outboard drums on a M931A1

    To do inspections or maintenance without having to remove the hubs bearings and axles ,plus with the drum inboard attached to the hub the whole assembly weighs towards 200lbs . Very hard to handle .

    My M931A1 conversion to a dump truck

    I mounted my modified original crane and spare tire today. One pin and the crane can be removed with the spare because it's not needed unless I am working in a remote location. The lift gate has been engineered to lift even with the extra weight of the crane and tire.

    M931A1 carrying capacity.

    I took a second look at the wording and I would say you are correct.

    M931A1 carrying capacity.

    I was not suggesting that getting that much weight on the front was legal on the road or practical just that the strength of the axle was there , just to be clear.

    M931A1 carrying capacity.

    I put red dots beside the curb weight and the payload which combine to approx. . 20,000 , that agrees with Memphis equipment and others more or less.

    Educate me on the dump...the M929 / M930

    A longer frame has the potential for a larger box which could be overloaded if filled to capacity ,but the problem with the shorter frame is getting enough weight transferred to the front axle so it is carrying it's proper share of the load. I have not put a load on my M931A1 yet but I believe...

    Here are copies of the best info I could find. The last pic confirms the front axle's 20,000lb capacity

    M939 series 5 ton capacities

    No, I haven’t had a chance to scale it. Thinking it will be similar to a M929
