Was at the local truck repair shop and this was laying there begging to be photographed and shared.

Ouch, that had to hurt!! Highway tractors in the field eh??
A buddy had a WesternStar for sale at a shop and the shop owner went to move it but the seat was too far back, he figgered it would be OK but when he reached down to release the brakes he fell off the seat dumping the clutch big time!! He said "Wow you wouldn't believe how that truck launched!!" He paid for the new diff!!
When you have that much torque getting put to the diff with a load on in the field I guess something has to give.
