Flip Neck Box Mechanical RGN Question:

Were both axles running pretty close to each other?

 

Why on earth would you side load/unload a D8 of all things out in the middle of the dirt? You are lucky it didn't tear it up worse than that. Did you block under the side at least? Dump all your air?

That machine belongs to you while it is on your trailer. You need to learn to load/unload yourself. Some contractors will side unload excavators with street grousers when they cannot get off the pavement to unload, but a D8 with those grousers is a hard no.

 

The reason I ask is that if they are close to each other then it is likely that there is nothing wrong inside. Typically the front might run a bit warmer than the rear due to the power divider.

Just like engine oil, coolant, trans, tires, hubs, everything will run cooler with less load on it. By load I am referring to power.

 

Say whhhhhaaaaa? I'm somewhat at a loss for words. I move a D8 quite often and....well....um....uh....

 

I have to hand it to you, at least you aren't afraid to share your learning curve experiences.
