Random King Pin Question....
While installing a new set of king pins on our 59 A112, I noticed my maintenance manual states to only install the wedge pins so that the nut and lock washer faces forward. Any idea way? I see no difference between the front and back when looking at the wedge pin holes. In fact, I can't see a difference in the front or back of the entire axle assembly. It looks like it could be installed either why. I am going to install the pins as the book states, but it has me wondering what I am not seeing, and worried that I can install the the axle backwards.... Its an FA1 axle.
Also, anyone know where I can find draw keys? IHC PN - 80 866 R1. They look to be about 3/8 diameter, just shy of 2 inches long. New ones came in my kit, but I ruined one, and haven't come across much online for a replacement.
