Pin on axle on truck

ROBSREDFORD ยท 2015-01-27 20:26

I have only seen one or two in my 44 years....but I'd like some pictures or ideas on a pin on third on the truck...meaning behind the drives...got a need for third axle on some of my trucks from time to time but also need to use them for other things where tandem is sufficient and low empty weight is important thanksinadvance

    I've heard of such for single axle tractors... As long as you have turning clearance for the pin on axle, it should be largely similar to any pin on axle. Make sure it has enough suspension travel to stay in contact and not hold up the rear when going over grade changes.
