    Double Spring Seats?

    I took my bench seat out today & will be putting a spring seat in its place. Am I missing something, or do the holes NOT line up with the seat base? What have you guys done to get 2 spring seats in your cab? Thanks! Daniel

    Air-O- Matic Regulator Problem - Need Help!

    APB - What kind of lifespan is expected from units which are installed on trucks that came directly out of service? I have air-assist on one of my trucks & I dont notice any problems. How much do rebuild kits cost? How hard are they to install? Thanks! Daniel

    Stuck in my yard....TWICE!!

    8 or 10 of the single axle tow dollys went through GL a couple weeks back in GA. But......I like the way the towing company had this one set up.....I know it would hold a lot more weight, but I am sure it would cost a LOT of $$$ just for the 2 axles, hitch, & frame! But....yes.....I do have...

    Do I have Dual Circuit Brakes?

    Take the top off of the master cylinder, fill it up w/dot 5, close cap. That is pretty much it unless you need to bleed your brakes. 2cents

    UPDATE: It is OUT!!!!!!!!!!! :mrgreen: I had the commercial wrecker service (that gets the cranes out of the mud) come out with their homemade tow dolly, which was basically the rear half of a wrecked tractor w/a pintle hitch. They unhooked it & I hooked it to my John Deere tractor & backed...

    Which Trailer for a Shop?

    You wont even feel the M105 behind you. A tow dolly alone is going to weigh as much as the 105....then add on the semi trailer & extra wind resistance. You will be sorry unless you like driving 30mph. 2cents

    I am going to lift the trailer up approx 11" with two 20ton air/hydraulic bottle jacks & then back a modified M332 trailer under the front, lower the M872 onto the M332, chain binder them together & then pull the M332 towards my driveway & it will rotate the M872 with it. After the front of the...

    Here are the pics of the NEW ruts & my "concrete road" leading up to the trailer over the reeeeeally soft ground. It held up a 25,000lb backhoe....so it should hold a 20,000lb m818 w/no problems! Also.....it barely rained the last two days & tomorrow is going to be 50 & sunny.....so...
