'thunk' on takeoff 120-130

That actually supports my theory... Every time I've had that problem, it's been due to a recent re-installation of brake drums. Something didn't seat quite right apparently...

Do check it quick.. it will ruin the key slots in the axles and brake drums, but if you catch it early, you might not have to replace those pricey, and hard to find bits....

Easiest test.. if you can take the big center brake drum nut off and remove the drum without the huge puller.. bingo. You don't even have to remover the tire.. use it to try to pull the drum. (don't forget to leave the handbrake off)
