They will break. I have a set on my B1. One night I was pulling the hulk of an IH Scout II off a trailer. It was one of those deals that is supposed to be a quick little job. Instead, I ended up pulling HARD in reverse to slide the Scout off. At one point in the process I lost front wheel drive in the PW. An inspection by morning light revealed that the driver's side hub housing had swelled and cracked. I contacted the company, they do have a lifetime warrenty, all I have to do is send in the bad set and they will send me a new set. I dug out my drive flanges and haven't thought about the hubs for some time. I will get a new set eventually, but I will run them on my M37 that has 750x16 tires, not on the B1 with the 38 inch Swampers. Drive flanges don't break.
