I washed it and cleaned the interior and all the glass inside and out. I can actually see now! Most of the factory paint is gone off the wheels and has a surface rust patina. Debating to repaint wheels or leave alone. Body needs a repaint but doubt if it ever gets one.

Used my brush hog to move trailer around. Spur of the moment move since I was driving by it with tractor. This one I leave sitting on the North acreage. I still don’t know exactly what to do with it so I just move it around every few weeks.

I wouldn’t be happy either, but……..the things that can break without it would make you really really unhappy.

So was looking under hood after checking engine oil and noticed a few grains of white stuff under the battery hold down plate. I instantly knew what that was and took it off to clean it. Corrosion has worked it way under the rubber coating quite a bit. Cleaned as best I could and banging it...

Update?

New shocks made a big difference on both of mine. Smoothed out the ride and made tow even better. I run 35-45psi for different loads and 65psi for heavy stuff. Definitely can’t hurt.

Replaced front wheel bearings today. Left front back bearing possibly had some water inside at some point but looks more like condensation buildup to me. Not sure. Was definitely making noise going down the road Rest of them looked good Now my oil cooler lines are leaking. On to that project.

You don’t have to declare it surplus and start the surplus declaration for it with your municipality so they can include it in their auction?

Yes One bigger knot using the two ends instead of two small individual knots. Works great.

Just cut rope to length desired Then insert both ends through the cover eyelet and tie a knot. You can adjust the tension as required by moving the knot. Beat part is they work just as well in the winter as they do in the summer. Bought the 100’ roll from McMaster-Carr

I used the new EPDM rubber rope and makes life so much easier. Simply pull loop down to fasten to trailer. Takes me <30 seconds to get into trailer. No loose rope No knots Super easy.

New u-joints also. Great time for degreasing and then undercoating to prevent rust.

Part is obsolete from GM Parts wanted forum or eBay will be your best bet. Member CUCVRUS might have one. If your lucky a junkyard might have one. No clue if any other aftermarket brands will work.
