I jacked it up again today and removed the brakes & E-brake cable. The left wheel turns freely now. Apparently, as you can see in the photo, the previous owner didn’t believe in re-lining the brake shoes!!!! Anyway, I’m not sure what’s up except that the axle will need some TLC…rebuilding. When I rotate either wheel, the opposite wheel doesn’t rotate at all. However, when I grab and rotate the pinion, both wheels turn in the same direction for a few revolutions and then one of them will stop. Rotating the pinion in either direction, clockwise or counterclockwise, yields the same result….both wheels spin in the same direction for a little bit, then one of them stops rotating. This is different than what happened yesterday went the left wheel was dragging. Oh well, it’s off for blasting and metal work and I’ll tear into the axle after it returns. Thanks, -Mike
