    It's 8' wide x 5' tall oval, 6' long. Plug that into a calculator and it says 1200 gallons.

    Help identify this single axle fifth wheel trailer - IDENTIFIED Laguna FTT trailer

    I have no objection to changing the title now that we know what it is. I will try to remember to post an update when I get it converted, it will be a while.

    Help identify this single axle fifth wheel trailer - IDENTIFIED Laguna FTT trailer

    Great info! I found another sticker on the bottom of the axle, says Laguna Industries. It has the order info from Dexter Axle and says 4 of 7, so I guess we can assume at least seven were planned to be made, unless Laguna was building other trailers with the same axle. I'm planning on building...

    Help identify this single axle fifth wheel trailer - IDENTIFIED Laguna FTT trailer

    I took a closer look and I can now see that the brackets for the tank were welded on later. I found a tag on the tank but it's inaccessible until I remove the tank. I still haven't found a tag on the trailer. The axle is stamped Dexter #13 7000 pounds. So with that I can have a new one built...

    Help identify this single axle fifth wheel trailer - IDENTIFIED Laguna FTT trailer

    I did see the Silver Eagle FTT. That's the closest thing I could find. Similar construction in some ways, but definitely not the same. The tank is 1200 gallons. That's 8500 pounds of diesel or 10000 pounds of water. Even without considering the weight of the tank and trailer, that's over the...

    Help identify this single axle fifth wheel trailer - IDENTIFIED Laguna FTT trailer

    I just bought this trailer, I haven't been able to find any info on it. It originally had a fifth wheel king pin, the gooseneck ball coupler was added during it's civilian life. I don't see any other obvious modifications. It has a torsion axle with hydraulic brakes. I would like to find a...

    MEP-802 Injector Pump Problem

    I don't think there's any rubber parts in the mep802a injection pumps.

    Re: Weights of items on GL

    I picked up a machine that was listed at 4500#, the actual weight was over 8000#. I couldn't understand why the trailer was handling so poorly on the way home. Figured it out when my forklift wouldn't lift it off the trailer.

    Chambersburg PA, excellent service!

    I never got any contact info for anyone on site, the number on my auction listings connected me to Mechanicsburg GL. She scheduled me and confirmed the pickup address. Nobody checked ID or anything, I just showed my invoice and he loaded me up. The guy there is very good with a forklift, I think...

    remote start mep-802a's sold on G/L a week or so ago....

    The only obvious difference I can see inside the control panel is the diode on the back of the start switch. It's wired across terminals 5&7, on my other four sets the diode is across 1&7. I didn't find any extra plugs or harnesses. I wonder if they use the diagnostic port for remote control...

    remote start mep-802a's sold on G/L a week or so ago....

    One of the 802s I got from Letterkenny this week has the remote label on the start switch. I haven't dug into it yet to see what's different.

    Can I ask a question about an auction that ended earlier this evening

    A tier 2 reset should have a tag on the enclosure next to the original data plate. It doesn't necessarily mean the engine was rebuilt or replaced. It doesn't really mean anything except that it had a lot of hours on it and has been overhauled in some capacity. Meters get replaced because they...

    Can I ask a question about an auction that ended earlier this evening

    I don't think anyone here disagrees that they are a good value for $800-1000. My previous post was in response to someone asking why they are selling the late model low hour units. If you see a 802 that was made 10-15 years ago and has 70 hours on it that just means it's been run for 70 hours...

    Can I ask a question about an auction that ended earlier this evening

    These aren't really that new, they are averaging about 15 years old from what I've seen. Most people drive a car that's newer than that. Don't be fooled by the hours, lots of them have new hour meters, some new engines, but they're not low hour sets. Besides all that, it's your money they're...

    Chambersburg PA, excellent service!

    Do they check registration on trailers when entering? Can't seem to find the owner's card for my trailer.

    Can I ask a question about an auction that ended earlier this evening

    Chambersburg? I wouldn't say it was crazy. Five of them went for under $600. I bought four that I considered "good" for $600, $616, $670, $800, including one runner. The rest were between $800-1000 except for a runner with 20 hours on the meter that went for ~$1500. I'm feeling good about the...

    MEP-803A injection pump installation

    I'm hoping someone with an 803a can do me a favor. Look at the engine and see if the injection pumps for the middle two cylinders are clocked a degree or two different than the outer two. I had to pull mine out to free them up. When installing them I clocked them against the rack as per the TM...
