Please say a Prayer that my X gets her raise. If not I have to help her move from Louisiana to Jacksonville Fl. Spent two hours unloading the small cargo trailer if I have to help. The storage 30 footer is getting is share of the goodies.
Also loading up the 373 for the Denton show.
James, If it happens to be, shout out and maybe we can do lunch while you are passing through the big easy.

Post Findlay '21 & M870A1:-

Must have measured all 60+ on site, found the only one that was 1 1/4" (&1") with hex hole... Fortunately I have a load of crow bars kicking around - one was 3/4" hex so it got decapitated. (Good-older ones are octagonal)

Got a pair of the 400mm deliniator plates from mwmules...

Picked up the last needed Crosby shackle (of 4) but that bolt is wrong - large bar of steel already in lathe, will turn down then thread at 5.5tpi. [Factory green one on left]

Other work done recently:
Spare tyre retainer...
20210517_124508.jpg
Middle axle; wheels/hubs cleaned, new tyres, flaps, tubes, bearings and seals.

One bent cross member being straightened, will 'shrink' the stretched flange at some point ~ before paint and floor!

How were you able to decide which aftermarket part number was the correct one to use? I've tried searching by p/n from the TM without success.

I did the same - no results, no success. A good friend of mine changed the shocks on his trailer and they fitted perfectly. So I just did the copy and paste thing. Tell me if you need the correct part number.

Been maybe 6 months since I moved the trailer so I thought about the bearings and oil in my hubs. Took longer to get out the air compressor, air jack and wrench to cage the cans. Quick jack up, cage one side give the tires a good spin and on too the the other side. Put stuff away and same as before took longer to do that. Still glad I did the up grade S cam axle.
