Load Wheel Axle Pins

Simple question here folks... Anyone else have an issue with the Crown (part number 060000-051) roll pins shearing? I have 17 RD's in my fleet with 6" load wheels. The most common "pit stop" repair is axle pins. Easy fix but drivs me crazy! Aftermarket roll pins better? I normally try to stay OE with most parts but for a $0.38 pin, too much time getting wasted!

...and yes the load wheels are properly shimmed.

Thanks!

It's all just nuts n' bolts.
Showing items 1 - 3 of 3 results.
I just got a chance to check what pin 060000-081 was... I like that idea! The rolled coil pin rather than the stock spring pin. I have some 081's in my cabinet. I'll give that a try. They hold up well on the PE's...

Thanks!

Yes, Side plates, Pivot sleeve/bushing, axles, load wheels and bearings plus flatwasher shims all get replaced when they are worn/bad. Roll pins just seem to prematurely crumble and fail.

Hopefully you're also changing
065084-015 bearings
111858-002 bush
And sometimes the plates themselves,
I use the roll pin 060000-081 but they can also break, plastic also does not help.

Fact of the week
According to studies published in the English Journal of Medicine, the impact of daylight savings is revealed by a 24% increase in heart attacks on the Monday following the spring shift forward. When clocks move back in autumn, heart attacks drop by about 21%, suggesting that loss of sleep is an important driver.
