Very cool, count me in.

I am looking for this actually, I want to use it with one of those roll up unloaders to haul gravel etc...

Seems like sufficient capicity in the joints for a trailer with a capacity of @half the rating of each joint. QF - How long did you go on the originals before it broke, and how long have you been using the heim joint?

Thanks for the Update! I think that I can manage that mod. Since my last post, I decided to try the knock off brand of the "load handler", the magic carpet thing that you use to crank out you load. I must say I am amazed how well it works, for me it may negate the need for the mod. I can...

Picked up a load handler today, $35 at harbor freight. going to try and fit that on the trailer and see if its a good compromise. Also made a trip to Tractor supply to look at hydraulics and heim joints. They had lift arm ends, but no heim joints. The wet blanket only dampens my...

Well, Dang... half of me thinks 14 years is a long time, I should just convert mine and see how it goes without serious modification. The other half wonders if I could install a hydraulic ram for the dump and do it a little better. Thanks for posting the pics, it doesnt look like you have any...

Me too... Checked mine tonight when I got home...sure enough the pin that used to fit in the perfectly aligned hole, no longer works...odd. I didn't have any time to look at it other than to see it now has the same problem as yours. I will check it out this weekend and check back in here with...

More questions I wonder what size pin is specificied in the manuals if any?

I know you said you have been hammering, but have you tried hammering in a tapered pin to see if it pulls it into line? Does the 3/8 pin fit, and you are trying to get the larger pin in?

Build the dummy browning from the Shotgun News gunsmithing book. Its cheap, looks good from a distance but is obvious enough up close to keep you out of the clink.

got a pic of that?

Were the cracks hard to repair? Did you improve yours after that? Thanks Jason
