Hiya,
On the subject of Scania halfshafts, when driving a virtually new “80” I “bust
a shaft”. Trailer proven to be overloaded but got underway by me using the
difflock and it being my own idea got a “legal trailer” and dragged it from
Dover to Blackburn without incident the only problem was the tendency to
pull towards the kerb, Oh’ and got a big thank you from the fleet engineer
when it was found the snapped shaft was suffering metal fatigue, and not
driver negligence, always handy having a bit of mechanical knowledge in
days of yore.Never knew if anyone else had travelled such a distance having
used the same idea/method, or even thought of trying it.
thanks harry, long retired.
