I went Friday and got to see new and old friends. It was perfect weather and there was good attendance. A big thanks to Dave for being the SS express. And thanks also for the mirrors. I should have got 2 sets. One of the clamps that I didn't use to mount the mirror made a nice door stop...

No, I have the 929 and deuce 4x4. The dump will pull the above trailer or the 1061. The deuce could handle a light load, as the new trailer has full air brakes. I see what you mean about bolting it on, but it would take the 20' version. Loading at the mill is with a large cat loader and...

Sorry, can't be help with tc.....tell us what you do please. Where is a ball bearing this size in a T138?

It's a 939 series problem with the Rockwell T1138. I guess the 809'series does not do it. But then you have a clutch on a ramp. I've made the comment that it took a government to put a warning on the dash instead of fix the problem in the TC design. See, with a dump, I want to back up on my...

I would want the length of a cargo for that rig but I would be tempted to cut the bed back to the frame end and expose the pintle, remove bumperettes. Here is a he thing with the 5 ton. It hates backing up in low range and for some reason after pictures, pulling this out may require low tc...

Deuces are great but the 5 ton 939A2 series is way more user friendly. Cummins 8.3 turbo is a modern engine and the allisons in them are reliable. If you want to haul wet seaweed, put a lift on the bed. A 923A2 cargo in great shape can be found. 929A2 is good but the beds are small (and...

Need bolster wheel(s) and hummer tires for trailer....maybe take off from a parade truck 50% . Need 2 hummer Goodrich tires and wheel 24 bolt for trailer.

If I can dump the air on a front axle while turning, it would help some. I'm going with 3 since I have 2 axles and all of the wheels, even a couple spares. Nice 395 or 15.5 should work great. Ebay (Rod) has 90% GY tires for 150. I'm not so fond of the layout with materials offloaded in...

Here is the bed/trailer project.

This thread will have my new trailer project tagged on for now. I dug two air ride axles out that fit the above wheels. They are rated at 23,000 lbs each, so two axles can easily hold it up, probably one. The Michelin 15.5 m1076 PLS tires would seem perfect for either the 10" rim or expanded...

I'm tagging this picture on for Wes of a wheel that may work on the salvage trailer. The black one has the 11.25 bolt pattern and the yellow is from sand trail 450 wheels. With a little work at the oring, the yellow ring will fit with the black wheel body and make a rim that is 12" wide...

No x2

Take a look at the bead thickness difference of the 16.00 and 14.5. That much extra may be toooooo much for the A3 rim....not enough bolt clamping force.

Jbulach, I'm in sand. For floatation in my field, you couldn't beat those 450s. How do you find they do on the road? My trip is 30 miles one way. I don't really want to get into oversized load (wide) but could. Above is 31" tall tire vs the 450 at what, 46" ? Maybe using the above...

Thanks Tim. Yesterday it hit me, why take all of the frame off the new bed off and mount the chain on the 1061 when there is a full frame in place and in addition to fixing damage, I could add 2 axles and have a complete second trailer. Luckily I had not mounted the engine or done anything...

Yesterday looked at a wrecked truck, nearly new, with a 20' bed that self unloads to the middle for hauling animal bedding (wood shavings like I have to move). This was a near $200k truck but has extensive damage at several spots, especially the left rear corner of this fancy bed. Luckily...

Mine is not military but I'm quite happy with my 5 hp single stage Ingersol rand with 60 gal upright tank. I usually install a two stage IR in jails with pneumatic locks, but they sent a single stage. I kept it and ordered them a two stage. I didn't think I would like it but with the...

I like the 105 because they mount outside of the frame and give a wider position on the axle. It's the same spring....and trailers have nearly no wear unlike springs from a deuce front. Deuce front is under the frame, maybe 8" narrower. The angle of the rear shackle matters for quality of...

I'm not sure who you are asking. Here is mine. The block has about 5* angle and a drain hole in the middle so water will drain from the bolt nut/washer.

A tire buyer told me yesterday that the Goodyear MV/T tires are holding up (not cracking) a lot longer than the Michelins.
