My Dad had one of those electric over hyd actuators on a horse trailer he has. It didn't work very well (either too much brake or not enough) and finally quit altogether. The truck he was pulling it with (Freightliner FL60) had air brakes so I rigged him up a air over hyd system with a deuce MC...

Gringeltaube researched this issue awhile back. Best I remember there was no rhyme or reason for the different springs (winch or not). Maybe he'll chime in.

I just use the cheap foam earplugs. They work well.

While you can overload things by having the hitch behind the axle, you'll never notice it with a gooseneck mounted even on the very back behind a 5-ton. It would really be no different than pulling a pintle hitch trailer of the same size (they are mounted as far back as you can get.

Yes, M35A2C. I've got plenty of forklifts with 8' forks (check out my website in my sig line and you'll see what I mean).

Have you read the GL terms and conditions? It clearly says that they are not responsible for the accuracy of the pics or description. It's not that I'm defending their lousy customer service but it is what it is. You can't flip trucks from e-bay or craigslist and consistently turn $3K profit on...

Let me get this straight. You made 3 grand on the truck but somehow still feel screwed by GL? :???: I'd take that kind of screwing any day of the week.

Well if the PTO is turning I assume the valve is in the middle position (hold). It should go in or out from there. As rusty as the end of the spool is you should try to pull it out first so you can clean all the rust off. If you push it in with all that rust there you're going to have more...

That's not the PTO in the pic. That's a pic of the control valve. The cable looks in bad shape and the spool looks awfully rusty. I'd clean up the exposed part of the spool as good as I could before you try and move it. The PTO will be attached to the side of the trans. Does it work?

Where is Montgomery,TN? I know where Montgomery county is but I've never heard of a town by that name.

OK, I think I understand now. The $100 price includes removing the stumps and cleaning the dirt off. It can be a pretty good chore getting the dirt off once you get the stump out of the ground. I've done it before trying to get the dirt off so they will burn but it's easier just to dig a hole...

I thought about a S280 shelter just today while I was removing the bed cover. The kids and I go camping in the deuce a couple of times a year and my truck has a dump so I use it for hauling whatnot at other times. What this means is installing/removing the cover and troop seats several times and...

You're having to buy stumps? Around here you have to pay somebody to remove them and take them (usually quite a bit of money). What are you using the stumps for? As WM said, pulling stumps can require quite a bit of force. I've seen big bulldozers struggle with small stumps before.

Their policy is than you can't even apply for a SF97 until after it's picked up.

I've got a MEP 003 that I bought from a individual. I've watched them on GL but have been afraid to pull the trigger. I can tackle almost anything mechanical but electronics aren't my strong suit so I've been afraid a GL generator will have electronic problems that I can't handle without lots...

Jeff does have a point. If you do live in a neighborhood that has a homeowners association and a set of bylaws, you signed up when you moved in so you are obligated to abide by the rules. You also have to consider the fact that the rules may change as the association sees fit (most of the time...

Funny thing is I saw the news interviewing this old WWII vet at the memorial and he said "Normandy was closed too and we took care of that". I could say more but it would surely get me banned.

My runner MVs are all in sheds on the farm. The non-runners and parts trucks are in a field with goats for brush control. Jeff, I also have a few hogs running around. :-D I know my post doesn't help the OP much other than to give advice to move to the country where nobody cares where you park...

You know, I forgot about looking for them brackets. Let me know of you still need them.

A tri-axle dumptruck can haul 20-25 tons in TN (depending on empty truck weight).
