Hey guys, I know there are members like John Appel that use trailers similar to mine on a regular basis and I was hoping for some advice.
I've got a 20ton Eager Beaver, with Dana D22 axles, that recently blew a hub seal. The gear oil ruined the brake shoes and now a $20 seal is costing $600. A friend of mine who works with heavy equipment said that based on my use I should be able to replace the gear oil with grease. I'll use the truck about a half dozen times a year. I may haul between 7 to 12 tons. It may be a few miles, it may be a weekend event or mv show with a 10 hour round trip.
Does anyone advise against changing over to grease?
Thanks!
Mikey
