I didn't get a good look at the surface of your welds, but from looking at the heat marks on the back side of your plate, I'd say you're better at welding than you give yourself credit for. The heat (bluing) shows that you actually got penetration... Something that some self-proclaiming...

Just remember when you mount your roll bar or cage, the mounting pads coming off the frame need to be larger (length and width) than the pads coming from the bar or cage. If the pads are the same size, and the need to have a roll bar ever does come up, you will shear your mounting bolts... If...

Tentative load from Cincinnati, Ohio area to Effingham, Illinois. If this load confirms, the flat bed will be full (space and weight). I will update when this confirms our cancels. There is still time to schedule my trailer though. No one has asked me to bring it with me from Illinois yet, so...

As can be seen in one of my other threads, I'm going to be back in Ohio by March 21. This thread is for the return trip, I will be deleting my old threads once each trip is complete to keep from taking up unnecessary space on the SS server. I will be departing from Ohio after Apr. 10th, most...

Check with your local colleges. Many have CDL classes and a rig. Might be able to pay for what you need. Also, if your in a small town, check with your local fire department, the Cheif might let you borrow the truck under conditions considering you technically own part of the trucks due to...

Was there anything on your return trip that you couldn't haul with your Jeep? I'm back in Ohio for about a week, headed back to IL the weekend of Feb. 9-10... And I'm empty, thanks to my other half selling our rusted out, beat up property truck while I was already on my way! I bought that red...

Have you picked your winches up yet? I am in Northeast Ohio right now, headed back to Central, Illinois the weekend of Feb. 9-10. We might be able to work something out to get them there or closer for you. Were at in WV are they, where at in IL do they need to go? EDIT: Here's the thread I...

That's a good find you have there. I am making a trip from Orrville, Ohio to Decatur, Illinois on the weekend of Feb. 9-10. If you can get it to Orrville, Ohio by then, I could bring it to Decatur, Illinois for $0.75 a mile. I have a thread in the Transportation Needs forum that explains why the...

do you have pictures of what needs hauled? especially since the truck has parts in boxes inside of it?

It sounds to me like you've missed something in your diagnostics. I am pretty sure that is has been established that you do not have a P7100 Injection pump. I've been down inside of the P7100s and I can assure you that you cannot rebuild that yourself. I am going to go off the assumption that...

That's a similar set up to what I am thinking as well. But in order to stay legal with an M211 in tow, the loaded deck height of the trailer needs to be about 30" to stay below the 13' 6" bridge height. Also, take into consideration your longest vehicle that you will be towing the trailer...

I am considering something similar, but I am currently looking at using a pair of M200a1's ... I am trying build a trailer stout enough to haul M211's (or at least mine). I am coming up short on the braking system as well. I'd like to keep the air over hydraulic brakes on the trailer axle and...

C30 tow vehicle Below are pictures of what I am working with on the dually. It has the 6.2L NA Detroit, and a TH400 in it at the moment. My dad wants the transmission and I want overdrive, so he is going to trade me a heavy duty/built 700R4 with the proper shift points for a diesel for my TH400...

Thank you for the offer and I will keep it in mind. I am looking at a set of blueprints for a 32 ft 24k lb gooseneck trailer from Northern Tool. I am trying to figure out if I want to build it as a pintle trailer instead, but that all depends on what material the blueprints call for. I have a...

I'd be pulling a 32ft 24k lb trailer (designing it at the moment) with a deuce on it from time to time. Wanting to be able to tow the same trailer with my XM211 or my dually depending on what I have on the trailer. So I want the proper lunette on the trailer to match the pintle on the XM211...

Lunette/Drawbar Rings M101-M103-M105 Are these the specs that correspond with the M101/103/105 lunette rings?

Okay folks, your blockade against me appears to have worked. I am in the process of gathering parts for my trailer build to get Tonka home to Illinois from Ohio. My plan is to design and build a 24k lbs trailer that will carry a deuce, designed to be towed behind Tonka. At the same time, I need...

Reviewed once more. My apologizes. Thank you for removing the link to avoid any potential issues. The "reasons" in the rules were not my intention, however, I understand the necessity of the rule. *** I believe it would be more appropriate to recommend searching through the Material Handling >...

This is listed on GL as a "Storage/Shipping Container, 150"x93"x88" I didn't know where else to put this, but I believe it is for a M35 Series Shop Van. Figured someone could appreciate the info, and it is listed with the shipping containers, so those of you browsing for additions/add-ons to...

Someone trusted to go through the vehicle for pre-trip inspections and repairs, diesel professional, trust your "loose" items, and he has (or at least he had, should still have it) a large lift that I have personally had large cable reel trucks up in the air on (without the cable on board...
