    20 ton Crane axles

    I would see if the AIR BRAKES set up would bolt up to 5t axles, if so then pull ALL the BRAKE parts and sell them as a air brake axle converson kit, the valves could be had from any big truck parts house

    Jack up one side, spin the wheel, listen for noise, if it spins the pinon, the axle is not a locked front axle, if not jack up both sides, spin the wheel, dead man the pinon, can you still spin the wheel. if the tires are scrubbed way down, I think you have a broke SPIDER GEAR,, or shaft, no...
