Where is everyone #5

Still pissed, you wanna eat well in my town, go here. Been making real italian food and pie's since 1950 when they came here. Can't go wrong. I'm eating one now! Just dont complain a bout it!

 

What we did on a unit a while ago was used a propane "tiger torch" to heat soak the upper plate for 20 minutes then dropped ice cubes into the pin cup and we had made a forked bar to twist the pin in the pocket and put the blocks and jack under to push up. This was on an Aspen 65 ton west coast 9 axle where the last owner/operator had not moved the pin in two years including 2 Canadian winters. He always stacked up leaving the pin "long". It took the shop crew 4 hours to get it out and 3 hours to clean the pin and pockets.

 

I'm pretty sure this one hasn't moved in 14 years...
You just gave me a idea. I got a 5 gal bucket cut down to about 5" high in the freezer full a water.
Got a can off Old Mill (I ain't sacrificing good beer)
Stood up in the middle to make me a hole.
Plan is to put that underneath around the kingpin so I can still jack on it with timbers. And heat the sleeve from the top.

The #### thing is still standing on the pin with the jack fiddle string tight, so maybe it'll come loose by morning.
One can dream right. LOL

 

I wouldn't clean it. If you did you'd never find what your looking for. Just build a new one.

 

That is the good stuff you brute!

 

I don't do this much but

 

It’s a KayDubyah, 680... it’s a nice truck as far as Aeros go... save for the Paccar motor and the Eaton Ultrashift.

Bobtailed down to San Diego and doing a power only load up to Seattle... easy. It’s for a rigging company so... bunch of crapola every which way on the deck of a 48 step... checked their securement and rolled...

Make @Czar_Zero territory tomorrow night and then Napavine on Sunday...

 

Oh.... almost forgot

#### SOCAL TRAFFIC!

There. I feel better now.
