Yes sir, once again thank you. I was starting to worry and now im wondering why it was designed like that. I guess I will keep this thread up to date with pictures as I go along. , Jay

Mounted like that they work for each axle much like a quarter elliptical spring set. They work against the center mount below it, so they are inverted.

Picked up a almost new set of float pads from John W. today. Mine were... tooth picks. Im going to start re doing the wood deck on one side due to some rot issues. Il keep posting pics and stuff to show the progress. -Jay

The pads that came with mine aren't too good either. I may make some new one with treated wood or maybe that composit decking stuff. So it will not rot so fast. Just one more thing to add to my list,let's now that will be page #45,694rofl

Thanks again guys. I agree if you have any tractor you need a trailer on the back. They are not complete without one.

I am pulling 50% of the deck tomorrow and replacing it. And its 30% painted 686 CARC.

Today I went out and spent 4 hours sanding and cleaning the front rack on the M127. I sanded all the oak and made it look new. The pictures really dont show how nice both sides turned out. Im doing all the metal tomorrow then the paint job later this week. -Jay
