We Repaired the Brakes on a Bell B30E ADT

Nate and "Double Clutch" show us how to brake repair on a 30 ton Bell B30E DUMP TRUCK! Brake replacement on heavy equipment, (particularly 30-ton articulated trucks) is different than many on-road trucks. However, brake repair on heavy equipment generally uses some of the same basic techniques you find in automotive mechanics. On this episode of Deconstruction, our mechanic (Nate) gives us a step by step walkthrough for how to replace articulated truck brakes quickly and effectively so you could do a brake job on a dump truck yourself! Whether you are working on a bell b45e dump truck or a bell b25e dump truck these adt tips and tricks may help you out! Learn these tips and more about bell equipment from this episode of deconstruction at newman tractor!

whaaaaatttt that's crazy.. Each wheel has it's own diff and transmission brake pretty much lmfao

[@reecewharf]

Yeah the idea is if you have a diff in the wheels then you can reduce the size of the axle diff which gets you more ground clearance

[@mikeal5061]

@@reecewharf The diff would still be in the center, thats just the final drive in the wheelhub. Keeps the required axle size lower, lighter and therefore less rotating mass

Yeah, that is why these things are closer to tanks than cars/trucks.
