Chev4T6,
That's a great batch of pictures you have. Thanks for posting those.
What a coincidence! My young son is also named Jeremy, and we refer to him as 'Jerm'. This 59 is his truck now, since I had 15 years to work on it, but found other things to do instead.
Now, we are getting this truck back on the road for him.
On our odometer,I worked the right side washer off the axle pin and took all the wheels off. Bear in mind, we already have the new stickers on these wheels with the 0 in the correct place. I noticed that there is some form of old dried-up lubricant on this assembly. It seems to be lithium soap based grease. I have inspected each wheel and the cogs that fit on the flat metal brackets between each wheel. I see no differences on any of the moving parts. I cleaned everything with Q-tips and alcohol.
Did you lubricate the axle pin and small cogs when you re-assembled the unit? I wonder if a small amount of lithium on the cogs would help everything work better?
As always- the advice given here is the best, and truly appreciated!
Chris
