<DIV> That's very interesting that JD
thinks that the hub should break before the axle. I can't recall every seeing a
broken hub, but plenty of broken axle's. Perhaps the Enginering didn't prove to
be "practical". Or as Ken Richardson said at one of the VTR
Conventions " If we had know that you Blokes were going to keep them for so
long, we would have built them better".</DIV>

this before but I took a TR3/4 Hub into our Axle Engineering folks at John
Deere for a thorough examination. One of the outcomes was that "it is

that it works well to have the hub break before the axle. <BR><BR>The stress
risers are located in the hub in such a way that breaks in a conical shape and
traps the hub and wheel on the car. If you look, the cutting tool comes to
sharp corners with no attempt at a radius.
