    Asbestos Remediation and the M820

    Wetting dry stuff down helps keep the dust to a minimum. If you can add a gelling agent like gell-o to it to help keep the dust down. This is just a general observation... Those heaters will sell for $100 plus each.

    Asbestos Remediation and the M820

    Once you get the heaters out you can sell them. They are multi-fuel heaters if I remember correctly.

    New Uses for M840 Shelter Dolly Trailer?

    HAs anyone had experience using this trailer? How long of a container/shelter can this dolly carry without modifications? I was thinking of welding a permanent platform between the front and back sections so they act like a drop bed trailer. Will the trailer allow the welded platform to...

    New Uses for M840 Shelter Dolly Trailer?

    I recovered the trailer today. All parts we intact and in great shape. They used a very large all-terrane forklift to move the trailer that was blocking mine. Told the driver not to move mine! Told him I'd hook it up to my Deuce. I drove my Deuce in to the field and with Warren's help...

    Sitting Tall in the Saddle and Can't See

    I would get a different seat and build a base that is the hight he needs. I installed short versions of Freightliner Air ride seats. They are height adjustable and give a nice soft ride.

    Pulling civy gooseneck with M931

    The controller has settings that can be adjusted for timing and the amount of braking pressure. I used to have the Draw-Tite Controller in my Isuzu NPR and I was able to adjust brake pressure with the dial on the controller. It was wired to my brake light switch. I believe the brake switch is...

    Pulling civy gooseneck with M931

    The cheapest way is to install a 12 volt actuator ($56.00) and use a relay off the brake switch to activate the controller. You run the wire from the brake switch to the coil of the relay and tap a 12volt line on the switch side. When the brake peddle is depressed the 24 volt triggers the...
