Cracked Drive Axle Part

Take it to a reputable shop and replace it. Don’t mess with brakes!

 

That's the brake camshaft tube right? Slack adjuster mount? Not sure of the name because I've never seen one broken.

 

That is called the brake camshaft tube, manufactured by bendix. Most dealers carry them. You just need to specify which side, as they are different. Welding is a perfectly acceptable fix to keep you moving, should be done carefully though, as the tube is filled with grease. It can boil out and get messy if you put too much heat to it.

 

That going to be an expensive repair.

S Cam assembly or what it mounts to is broken. Looks like a pretty nasty gouge in the brake drum also from where the broken parts were rubbing.

Could also be a broken outer axle.

It should go to the shop immediately, may want to consider towing it. Be prepared to re-power the load with a serviceable tractor.

 

4 bolts attach the S cam bracket to the spider which bolts to the axle housing. May need a spider too but can't tell from the pic.

 

I've never seen one of those broken either, I doubt it's made in Pittsburg anymore, cheap crap. You know, lawmakers make such a big deal about drivers, yet they seemingly allow sub standard parts that fail. I'd say that's a pretty important part not to scrimp on.
Good job on this person noticing that!

 

Good on your driver for catching it..most wouldn’t.
Give them a raise

 

Seen a few broken or bent over the years. Had one break completely and when the driver hit the brakes it torqued up and smashed the diff oil filter clean off the housing.

Pretty easy fix. If you have enough room you can slip it off and you won't even have to pull wheels.
