It has the A3 style trailer wheels, radial 11r22.5. Not sure if a set of 11.00x20 NDTs would be taller. I can see though.

You don't say? 🤔 I'll bring my tools and we'll get her going. :jumpin: 6hr deuce ride from my place. Loved the 3hr ride to D town before. But I've also done the 14hr ride to Haspin several times, so it doesn't bother me.

Yours is better, I should have put the 5th wheel a little higher. Under the loaded trailer, it sits a little low. I built mine more for moving empty trailers.

I could have let you borrow the one I built!

Did you make it home ok?

Awesome idea! My commute is 27 miles, and I had found an old postal jeep near me with a blown engine for $500. I did a lot of research into building an electric vehicle out of it to go to work and back. This was back when it was a choice between heavy lead acid or unbelievably expensive...

That's my guess. Heavy wires going in?

I'm in Columbia, let me know if you need a hand tomorrow. Got lots of parts and a truck with a towbar.

Dropping voltage after warming up is almost a sure sign of pending regulator failure. I have an entire pile of alternators, most just needing bearings, some regulators. Maybe one day I will start rebuilding them all, especially with how expensive they seem to be getting.

Welcome Sean! I'm in SC as well! MVCSC is very active club with lots of help, equipment, and we do lots of parades and events. Right near the Blue Cross Blue Shield building in Columbia. We have meetings every Wednesday night.

Considering the last cabooses rolled off the assembly lines in the mid 70s, I'm not surprised they are building new ones since the originals are wearing out. Plus there is s lot more room in that on!

Yes, this was the set I got from you all those years ago! The wife and I broke them down off the 5 ton rims and mounted them to the deuce rims. We lived in an apartment complex at the time. They weren't happy lol.

Love love love love love love love them!!! Wear like iron and ride so much nicer. I got lucky and didn't have to change my caster angle at all. Keep the fronts rotated out and going on 12 years they are still great. Put about 10k on them. All my trucks have them now, trailers will get rotated...

If you do make it up, can you bring me one of those m939 mufflers if you still have them? Hope you can make it and not just cause I need a muffler! 🤣

I've assisted Fort Eustis with loading quite a few long trains of equipment, thinking maybe they won't miss one truck... lol. Yes most all military shipments roll constantly, only stopping for traffic, crew changes, and fuel.

Railing a one time move can get pricey.... Biggest issue is the cars they would use, are wide open. Vandalism would be a sure thing when it sits in the back corner of a railyard at night. I've often thought of adding an old auto carrier to my 'collection' to make moves like this. The costs...

This is exactly what happened with my m818, I had replaced the MC and the rod was just a tad too long... kept having to stop and open a bleed screw. Thought I got trash in the MC or air pack. Adjusted rod and was smooth sailing.

Reminds me of the time I accidentally used the parallel two ships generators together procedure, to bring us off the pier and onto ships power to get underway. For a split second our 2,000kw gas turbine generator tried to match power output with the Norfolk city power grid... if I hadn't had my...
