I got off track and have scaled back my trailer building projects, including my 1061. My plans are to finish the pockets on the sides and put a 3/8 x 3 flat on the outside, both sides. Makes it 8'4" wide. Uprights will hold steel deck sides, about 7' high and I will make bows for a canvas...

No, I have the 929 and deuce 4x4. The dump will pull the above trailer or the 1061. The deuce could handle a light load, as the new trailer has full air brakes. I see what you mean about bolting it on, but it would take the 20' version. Loading at the mill is with a large cat loader and...

If I can dump the air on a front axle while turning, it would help some. I'm going with 3 since I have 2 axles and all of the wheels, even a couple spares. Nice 395 or 15.5 should work great. Ebay (Rod) has 90% GY tires for 150. I'm not so fond of the layout with materials offloaded in...

Here is the bed/trailer project.

This thread will have my new trailer project tagged on for now. I dug two air ride axles out that fit the above wheels. They are rated at 23,000 lbs each, so two axles can easily hold it up, probably one. The Michelin 15.5 m1076 PLS tires would seem perfect for either the 10" rim or expanded...

I'm tagging this picture on for Wes of a wheel that may work on the salvage trailer. The black one has the 11.25 bolt pattern and the yellow is from sand trail 450 wheels. With a little work at the oring, the yellow ring will fit with the black wheel body and make a rim that is 12" wide...

Jbulach, I'm in sand. For floatation in my field, you couldn't beat those 450s. How do you find they do on the road? My trip is 30 miles one way. I don't really want to get into oversized load (wide) but could. Above is 31" tall tire vs the 450 at what, 46" ? Maybe using the above...

Thanks Tim. Yesterday it hit me, why take all of the frame off the new bed off and mount the chain on the 1061 when there is a full frame in place and in addition to fixing damage, I could add 2 axles and have a complete second trailer. Luckily I had not mounted the engine or done anything...

Yesterday looked at a wrecked truck, nearly new, with a 20' bed that self unloads to the middle for hauling animal bedding (wood shavings like I have to move). This was a near $200k truck but has extensive damage at several spots, especially the left rear corner of this fancy bed. Luckily...

Here is the motor mount. It's solid with no isolation. I'm wondering about putting the entire unit on a thin rubber pad. Also, here is a rough sketch using steel roof corrugated material for sides, front, gate. The moving floor is all added to the back, about 30", and a conveyor is to be...

Back in the GL days I bought an Isuzu diesel then mounted a rexroth hydraulic pump to it. This trailer seems like a good time to use it. Oh yes....have the governor too. Maybe I can extend the hopper a couple feet on the front and back to get around 1000 cu ft. Also if the floor was...

A moving floor seems to be simple. I'm sure they are not. There are 3 slats. When they all move in one direction, the load is carried toward the door. Then they retract individually in a 1-2-3 sequence, where the materials slide against the retracting slat, until they are all in the home...

I'm looking for a sure fire way of unloading the ground wood and shavings and have been researching a live floor or walking floor. I've watched them in action and wonder about building one on the floor of the 1061. Let me know how the drive works if you have seen it . I could see just using...

Here is the repurposed jack. I kike the heavy spring loaded pin that they use to keep it up going down the road, but don't entirely trust it. So I made a support for its up position.

I'm about decided to use chain sweep in the bottom, 30" wide. Unfortunately the material could form a bridge inside that I must deal with. I ve thought about auger or some moving arm or steep angle funnel sides, and most seem to place more mechanism in the way, while taking space that could be...

How about this piece in the tongue? I like the strength it adds. Interesting thought about behind......maybe a camera or 2 would give visibility...would want to see behind anyway while on road. Sure juanprado. I'll be careful not to damage them with the smoke wrench. All four jacks come...

Tim, I understand completely. It's end mounts must be strong. Here are a couple photos of under the 1061. Can you see the tunnel? Once the air tank is relocated and it's mounts re-purposed or removed, there is about 32" for a return chain or belt. I have a low speed hydraulic motor to...

Making a bit of progress on the extended tongue. I settled for a permanent 6' addition. Almost everything is 3/8" thick. It leaves the entire inner tunnel unobstructed. Wow, These are heavy trailers.

Thanks juanprado, but the materials are not heavy and I have to make use of what I already have. Here is an update. The trailer tongue gets lengthened and made removable, so could pull by the original ring. I used the cut off ring from my 1101 trailer. It's welded inside and out with 7018...

I'm making some modifications to my M1061 for hauling sawdust, mainly behind my m929A2. I don't want to make it into a dump but I still want a way to offload that is not my back operating a shovel, although bagging it up directly from the trailer is an option. I'm leaning toward a mechanism to...
