Yeah went to the yard and the guy had some bud style wheels and a 2 speed axle on a bus that would bolt right up but he wants me to buy the whole bus for like 850 bucks and I still have to get it out. The guy tried saying he would give me a deal with the 850 because scrap is lower than it was in the summer. And I just told him I would think on it because the bus has no motor or grill and only weighs like 7k max so like 400 bucks max the way scrap is going. But I went to another yard I found and the guy has a bunch of old stuff although mainly Dayton's.
At the yard I did find a 2 speed axle with Dayton's and hydraulic brakes(2 speed and hydraulic brakes are my requirements for this) and the whole yard was under water at some point but they guy is nice and said I can take it apart before buying it and come out during the day to look through the rest of his stuff because I only went through like maybe 4 acres out of 60 and he has a bunch of old stuff in there. One thing I have a question about though is if I bought the axle and I am going to look for a part number as well to do some research, how hard are Dayton's to deal with and would someone like me be able to work with Dayton's on something like this and is there anything I should know about Dayton's. I do know that when you take them off you need to loosen the nuts and then jack the wheel up and break it loose to avoid sending the pucks flying but I have read stuff about them wobbling when installed wrong. What would be the best way to stop that. If I need to make a separate post I will.
