If your charge controller can accept a decent sized DC input I would vote for a mechanical rectifier as a simple solution if you can find an appropriately sized 3 phase motor and DC generator. Might look at an old welder for the generator and a lot of industrial machinery run large 3 phase...

I plan on building one of these systems for breaking/ on board air for my truck soon. I was going to utilize one of the higher end Vivair compressors, 5 gal storage tank and a solonoid air valve sourced from somewhere like grainger. I would have a switch in the dash to turn on or off the air...

Thanks a ton for your post. I am currently researching for my Texas blenders license (Which I will get as soon as I can pay the rediculous bond the make you get). The less than 400 gallons exemption for Fed will help in my situation since I plan on running it in only my truck for personal use...

I know this post has been out a while but I wanted to let you know how things turned out. I was finally able to find a friend with a gooseneck cattle trailer he let me borrow and went to pick up the cows with that. I now have two happy healthy heifers that went into and out of the cattle...

I have searched for this state specific info but have not found it. I have recently been playing with the idea of running waste motor oil in my pickup (Ford Diesel). A friend of mine owns a diesel performance shop and has a dozen or so ford diesels of various vintages and runs them all on WMO...

Claim up and down that it is an additive at a low percentage and happens to be red in color. That is about the only way you will have any chance of getting out of it. At least in texas I know folks that get dipped running all or part Waste Motor Oil in their road trucks and that is their usual...

I am glad to know Hydraulic oil runs good. That will help me recoup a little cost after spending 200 bucks changing the hydro oil in my tractor.

I would guess bearings since you have backed the break shoes off. You can always pull the shoes off that side and wire the brake pistons up so they don't fall out then reassemble the hub and tow the trailer with the brakes disconnected to see if the hub still gets hot. Do this with an unloaded...

I hadnt thought of that yet. That is a good point, I may have to get them a piece of plywood that I can secure to the floor for them to stand on. Yes they would be calves and I havent really found any individual cows/ calves for sale around here normally it is 5 or 10 plus head going all at...

I have a 1 ton Dually that I tow the 105 with. I have hauled many thousands of pounds of stuff in the trailer with no issues, although none of my cargo to date has been alive. I would not be going over any major slopes, just backroads at modest speed. I am thinking with the slat sides and...

I am in need of some cows for my land and I am planning to go to an auction soon. The only problem with this is I dont yet own a stock trailer. I do, however, own a M105 with sides and bows. While trying to solve the stock trailer issue, borrow, rent, buy a cheap run down one and hope it makes...

I have a cobra 29 lx lcd in my truck with a high power final and a good tune. It is a great radio and aside from having to replace the screen I really haven't had any problems with it. I like the radio a lot. The other radio I like is an old midland from the 70's but that one belongs to my...

I am looking for the A2 front landing gear as well (the crank up kind) if anyone has a spare since there is already a thread about it.

Ouch, I cant imagine how much that would hurt as a fellow welder. It reminds me of the time I was drilling into an exhaust manifold to put a pyro gague in my old truck. I had a face shield and safety glasses on but some how a sliver of metal bounced around and made it into my eye. Luckily...

Welcome frome Coupland, TX

I think I will run this by my local trailer fab shop. See if they have any suggestions, or could weld me up a set of aluminum ramps, I would kill for a TIG right about now

DUG, I have pulled this tractor on a large flatbed tandom trailer with no trailer brakes without any problem. Plus I plan on putting air brake hookups on my truck. Bj I was hoping to do a single span to keep weight and hassle down. I was also planning on putting mounts on the ramps that would...

Just wanted to throw out an idea I had for some feedback. I have an M105 trailer that I pull behind my dually and I have the itch to make some ramps for it so I can load in a small tractor 2-4K weight, not sure. As a rule of thumb I always over build things, but I have never built ramps. I...
