Can anyone pick me up on the way? :mrgreen:

I've pulled MANY with my 3/4 ton Duramax and my 34' 21,000lb gooseneck trailer. As long as all the brakes are up to date you should be fine.

Yep, it came up for sale again and I got it cheaper than the first time it sold! I love when that happens in my favor.

I'm sure the frame isn't heavy enough but the springs barely moved with the load on (granted it was empty), it's only 2200 lbs of tongue weight, those trailers are pretty tough.

I think we just found a use for all the M105 frames left over from the bobbers!

Front leaf spring with the hangers/shackles on: 110 lbs

Well I got it without any major problems. I have a bobcat that will lift the kingpin end but just barely so I moved it to the edge of my trailer and used a M105 trailer chassis and backed it up under it. A few 6x6 pieces of wood and a few chains and off it came! I don't think I would take it...

That was actually one of my ideas...not one of my best ideas but I thought about it! I'm just in to get the camera for my next great idea :idea:

Ya I made sure it was chained good, there were 6 total. I had to let all the air out of the tires on the M146 to keep me at 13'6". The fuel mileage wasn't the best but it pulled nicer than a deuce does. Now I have to go figure out how to get it off, hopefully this doesn't turn into a "don't...

Here are a few pics of my recent recovery, probably not the pics everyone was thinking they would see...sorry no M146 hooked on the back of a pickup.

I was amazed last Friday I got 2 EUCs approved! One was at 63 days and the other was at 15!! I think I know why too, on Thursday evening I loaded some stuff on my trailer that I haul with just to keep them off the ground, now I have to unload everytihing to make a couple GL trips. Trust me...

Looks like they ran out of the tan spray paint to cover the bumper markings, nice yellow! Take some brake parts cleaner and spray it and the yellow should come off without harming the numbers underneath, worked for my trucks from IA.

I hope not! I got them from OD Iron.

Yep that looks the same, the steel cord that runs around the bead is still in tact, the part of the sidewall that wraps around it just came apart.

That's possible, there were no visible signs of damage but who knows what they have been through. Not sure what the white spray paint is for, it was on there when I got them, I think it's to mark any checking, but it wasn't bad at all on that tire.

It rides rough, 50 is a lot better, I might have to try lower now that I know someone else is running them even lower.

I keep them at 70PSI, sometimes a little lower if I don't plan on hauling anything

Yes it is a tubeless rim. Nothing sharp near it or anything rubbing on it, I'm hoping it was just a fluke and will never happen again! The only thing the tire hit was the mud flap when it let go, I'll bet it made a heck of a boom when it blew!

I have a semi tire shop right by my house, they do the mounting for me, they weren't sure why it let go either. It had very minor weather checking and it wasn't near the failure. It was kind of an old tire with a date code of 515 which is the 51st week of 1995 (or 1985).

I run single Michelin 14.5 R20's on my deuce and I really like them, however, I had a little issue with one. I used my deuce to take my kids to their baseball game (probably an 8 mile drive one way, mostly 40-50 MPH), everything was fine when I got home, the next day I found this! Just glad I...
