[TR] TR3a

[Hoyt Duff]

Spin one wheel. The other should move in the opposite direction.  Listen
fur grinding/chrunching noises. Drain the oil,  remove the cover,  looking
for metal chunks.  Check the the axle seals are not leaking, pinion seal is
not leaking. Rebuild the brakes, one side at a time.
