I'd like to see some SERIOUS ENGINEERING ANALYSIS on the TORQUE MOMENT and DOWNWARD FORCES on the latch mechanism that engages your King Pin with this design concept. Essentially, I see a FULCRUM effect with the pivot point being the leading edge of the trailer's Plate and Chassis. The Pintle...

Another thought would be to simply buy/borrow/use a DOLLY. Hitch the dolly to the Pintle Hook, back the Dolly's Fifth-Wheel under your "new" trailer, connect air and power, and pull away. No fuss. No muss.

THAT MV would certainly qualify for the MV SPOTTED Thread ! :goodjob:

Current heavy wrecker designs have an attachment quite similar to your design concept. Here's a GOOGLE IMAGE SEARCH...

Pic #9 certainly shows how Burt can think outside the box.

I'm just getting caught up on this thread..... YUP! She's a KEEPER alright. :goodjob:

This is an EXCELLENT FACT-FILLED video in layman's terms and lots of hands-on explanations... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WOQncsVloow And here are some of recently spotted pics... .

May I suggest you organize a little FAMILIARIZATION CLASS, and then have "Graduates" conscripted as your MOTORPOOL SECURITY FORCE, thus delinquency into purpose. I have the neighborhood kids on my security team. If anyone of them sees something out of sorts, they have my phone number. In...

SR-71C "The B A S T A R D" I stumbled upon this article about the "one of a kind" scabbed-together SR-71C model..... THERE CAN BE ONLY ONE - THE SAGA OF THE ONLY SR-71C EVER BUILT http://www.avgeekery.com/there-can-be-only-one-the-saga-of-the-only-sr-71c-ever-built/ ...and here's a...

Ahab, Your discomfort about the children wearing combat gear is understandable. I'd like to encourage you to look at it not as being groomed for battle, but as a LIVING HISTORY experience. Giving them a grasp of the weight of a steel pot helmet, an ammo belt or pack, the smell of the canvas and...

Great topic. It seems your single-sentence post is an injustice to the real learning experience that COULD be shared here. We're all looking forward to pictures - "A picture is worth 1,000 words", Right? Please, tell us more. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TCIom0OVsS8&feature=youtu.be Carry on.
