That's a good idea. Did you just cage the rear brakes?
Update on the pin I bought. It is the right diameter, but it is about 1 1/2" too short. It works. I just have to push it all the way in, without a pin to hold it in.
Started some rust prevention today. Ospho the rust spots, so I can paint it.
I got mine off ebay.($15.00) The NSN 5315013527448
So far it's the only one I could find. I will take it to tractor supply and see if I can find a match.
Thanks Soni.
Ya I just want to replace the whole can. It's not worth the hassle to cage the brake and change out the parts. To much risk. It is a good reminder though how dangerous it is.
By the way you have some very nice toys!:)
Moving the trailer.
I had every part in the storage box but a tow pin. Today I was going to put the trailer away. I tried my best to back the trailer up without it. There is no way! I have to back up in a confined space. I try to use an old tow hitch pin. The trailer laughed at it! It broke that...
Well I made it home! 810 mile round trip in 21hrs. I averaged 7.6mpg empty and 7.0 withe the trailer.
Trailer pull nice up until the end. It started raining and I guess the lack of traction, caused the tire to wonder. It was shaking its tale good. Only did it when it was wet. Dry pavement there...
Well I'm on my way back to FLA. Trailer pulls super easy. Two tires are not as good as I would like (dry). Needs some paint and decking. Not to bad for $770.
Truck is running good. Rear hub and diff are running hotter then the rest. 125* hub and 160*diff. Air temp 86*
Now for some lunch of...
He just called. He said he forgot to charge his phone. Oh and he's 1 1/2hr out!!!!!!!!!!
government liquidation did the same. So I should not be surprised.
Well I'm sitting out side Hunter army airfield, because the Ironplanet "guy" will not answer the phone!!!!
When I say I'm going to be there at 8:00. I'm going to be there!aua
