Not boards, but a timber crib. There used to be an expediant jacking procedure where you drive one axle of the tandems up onto a crib to lift the other axle. Personally, I own a jack. I have a mechanical ratcheting one, but an hydraulic one can be had from the Chinese import places (Horrible...

You should be kinda glad it didn't. ...when the front tires rolled out, and the rear end dropped, bending the boom jacks and possibly (probably) killing whomever was under it. The rams arent sized for powering down, and lifting from the center is seriously overloading your boom. Just drive...

... And yet you are hanging around here with us! Hmmmm :beer:

2500 gals is roughly double the rated load for a 5-ton. Can't possibly understand why it might roll. rofl

I shut off, but that is because its a good walk to the cashier. Also, I think we should call it a P-Brake, 'cause if you are in an emergency, and you pull that lever, it still is!

I have mine set at about 3 1/2 - 4 psi, Trans and transfer get the pressure too

Allison makes some of the best automatic transmissions in the world for OTR use. That said, there are some companies making "Allison" transmissions umder license, and have had questionable service life. The Cummins has an SAE Standard bellhousing, wherein any Industrial/heavy duty (big...

I am at a loss. How can you tell anything about the brakes from these pictures?

"- The way that MV trailers are set up does not allow for trailer self braking when lost on the road from its tow vehicle. Upon creating a home built trailer, I would imagine that the state inspectors would require this device. That is probably why trailers equipt with brakes have the safety...

I have an idea, lets all ignore DH. Seems like a good question though

That "air valve thing that connects the two air lines" is the relay valve. That is what applies the brakes in the event of a break-away. And here are the manuals. Actually, the manual for the 105 is for the a3. Enjoy

...and if you have an "emergency" where the air lines are seperated from the towing vehicle, the trailer brakes will apply by themselves stopping the trailer before it has a much better chance of ending up in someones living room.

The appropriate manual is TB 43-0213 (too big to attach). I have to repaint a freshly restored truck. Seems the lacquer based stuff the paint shop used isnt sticking to anything related to CARC. The manual sais to strip to the meatl, seal, and prime. But you only have a limited time to do...

( : ) driver ( : ) without the parenthesis, and run together

I think if somebody were to pull an axe on me, I would have to up the arms race a tad

The F4 was the US's proof to the world that even a brick can fly if you put a big enough engine on it. And an M816 will float, as long as you can keep that boat under it.nopics rofl

It is a straight "air brake" trailer. That is most likely a parking brake -releases air from the spring chamber applying the parking brake (straight air brakes usually have at least one axle that will apply the brakes in the absence of air, preventing a roll-away) Nice Trailer! :drool:

Please, Mom, Can i get a howitzer!?? :drool:

I am certainly glad it is part of a joke, the thought of that much thigh sinking in the Altlantic is scary

Its 5 MB, where do you want it?
