Since I was having so much trouble with those trailer brakes I thought I'd better see what I could do with the truck brakes. They've been kind of sketchy. The right rear tightened right up OK with the adjuster,but I haven't been able to do anything with the left one since I let a kid use it for a brake project at the Career Center about a dozen years ago. I've tried for all those years to get that thing adjusted up right. Today I couldn't even budge the adjuster.
It took some heat,PB Blaster,the air chisel and a BIG hammer to get the drum off. I got to looking at it and the darned adjuster was in backwards so I'd been loosening it all these years. Joe stopped in right after I got it turned around. He looked in the drum and said "those shoes have never touched that drum!". There wasn't a mark in that thing. Looked like it had just been turned. I got it adjusted and those brakes work now,let me tell you!
Now if I could get the trailer to stop like that. I'll feel better pulling silage wagons with it next week anyway.

In this series we are going to investigate and learn the basic rudimentary skills of understanding this lingo.
