I just spent a considerable amount of time looking for the silly part number for the silly
little rubber plugs that there are a total of 8 of them, the rubber brake dust plugs.
In the rear, I clearly need 8 of them, but they are not so much as shown in
the parts #TM9-2320-273-24P. Am I crazy...
Plastic Bottle Threads FUBAR (REPLACE)
Screw Down Lid Threads FUBAR (REPLACE)
Kink in outlet hose (UNKINK, POSSIBLE REPLACE)
Jets blocked (PULL, DE-CLOG FLUSH WHILE PULLED, REINSTALL)
Someone would have a real winner if they could find a GLASS bottle that simply swaps in.
That plastic pos...
I found the AXLE documents needed. CLICK HERE then on the right you
see the 9-15K models, that is what you want, DISC BRAKES stuff.
I think we have D120HD Axles. 12,000 pounders.
Yes the outer caps are supposed to be clear to see the oil inside.
If these trailers were flooded the axles...
Blast...!
I just looked for the axle ID numbers and I "think" they are
covered by the welded on trailing arm. CLICK HERE for an
Axle ID How To.
"IF" someone sees this ID please share it w/ me.
Anyone know how to cage these brakes?

If "someone" made a sturdy pull out battery holder for that area they
would have a hit. I would venture to suggest just two Sears B-14
batteries and maybe an AMMO CAN or two next to the batteries for more tools.
I just have not been there, yet, to make it. I got sidetracked and bought an M916...
You can clean that up significantly by just buying a 2 Pin Deutsch connector
and deleting the extra dryer connections. It's really easy.
You just disassemble things and remove the aux. dryer connections and put
it all back together w/ a 2 Pin Deutsch connector. No special tools needed.
I did an...
Will it slide? Can you solder a new wire to one end or the other and pull the new
wire thru? Perhaps do a nice skinny solder job? If it will move I think I would
strip back a good 2" and interlock the strands w/o bending, then solder, using
solder sparingly but up the whole 2" lemgth.
There ya go...
I am a Grand Master / Professional at Illusory Superiority. No one does it better than me.
My lemon tree produces the best lemons in the world and you can not replicate
what I do, oh so very skillfully that I do it.
Dunning and Kruger would follow me for days!
I just had a though, if you cut it in 2 pieces you might be able to
drill it out to size, then tap it to NPT specs and pop in an NPT plug.
So you would have a plug screwed into a plug.
OK well if I were doing that I might consider taking that part to a good welder
and just cut it into 2 pieces just above the hex and weld it shut and Viola, you
have a plug.
After that and I am sure preferred, just determine the thread pitch and then measure the OD of
the threads and look for...
