    M101 dump trailer pivot

    Seems like sufficient capicity in the joints for a trailer with a capacity of @half the rating of each joint. QF - How long did you go on the originals before it broke, and how long have you been using the heim joint?

    M101 dump trailer pivot

    Thanks for the Update! I think that I can manage that mod. Since my last post, I decided to try the knock off brand of the "load handler", the magic carpet thing that you use to crank out you load. I must say I am amazed how well it works, for me it may negate the need for the mod. I can...

    M101 dump trailer pivot

    Picked up a load handler today, $35 at harbor freight. going to try and fit that on the trailer and see if its a good compromise. Also made a trip to Tractor supply to look at hydraulics and heim joints. They had lift arm ends, but no heim joints. The wet blanket only dampens my...

    Surge brake lockout safety tip!

    I know you said you have been hammering, but have you tried hammering in a tapered pin to see if it pulls it into line? Does the 3/8 pin fit, and you are trying to get the larger pin in?

    ODDBALLs M109 w trailer
