Do all Loadstar Dump Truck have Air Assist Brakes
I have written a few time in recent months regarding problems I have with my Loadstar 1700 transmission (T496). While I am attempting to find an adequate solution. (ie find a replacement transmission that has a PTO) I have been looking at other similar year Loadstars where I might be able to pull the transmission to put on my dump truck.
A question I have is do all Loadstar dump trucks have air assist brakes like mine. I am not necessarily talking about stake bed trucks that have a lift to dump but one with a full metal bed that holds about 6 yards. I have just assumed that this model of dump truck required the air assist as opposed to standard brakes.
If they did use standard brakes well maybe I can consider finding a working stake bed type of dump truck and transfer my 6 yard box on to it. Although most might say it will be easier to just fine a replacement transmission that has a PTO.
Any thoughts?
