I have a dim recollection of those suspect wheels origionally being called "Tredit" wheels. Please allow for my characteristicly spotty 64 year old memory accuracy.

Dexter had a recall for "retaining pins" for their brake pads of the hydraulic disc brake systems fitted to 04/05 units also I believe; something along the lines that the pin could come loose and allow for the pads/pucks to dislodge.

An earlier version of the Dexter hydraulic brake actuator pump was not of the higher pressure type so braking effect was not up to par for these heavy units. I'm thinking the earlier ones (04) were of 1000PSI and they quickly went up to a 1600PSI???? Can anyone else confirm or correct my recollections?
