    Great Deals!

    Yeah butttt, they got these red ones that everyone is saying are so much better. You're denying me new tool needs.

    It's fine if you hold the socket all the way on.

    Great Deals!

    Got a personal great deal today. The guys always love dragging out this cordless 1/2" impact. I think it's kind of a pooch, but whatever.. We've got a little suspension project going on, and I've got a used impact for sale now. The guys let me use it, and now it's time for it to find a...

    Solar battery tender or trickle charger recommendations?

    That's interesting, they show as $27 on my amazon. You must have bought all the $8 ones?

    That's a little different push bumper arrangement. I don't think I've ever seen them that short coupled. How do they turn ?, looks like they would tear up the bumpers. We just got done pulling a push bumper off our new lowboy puller. It was a old transformer/ generator moving push truck.

    Gooseneck vs Pintle Hitch

    Good looking 22.5's on the truck, was it hard finding rims and spacers?

    1988 Mack Superliner RW613 Tri-axle heavy hauler.

    I wouldn't chance the pieces rolling around in the housing, so I'd pull the diff, but you might be luckier than I am. A good junkyard will have a axle. I don't have any mack toploader axles in my stash. If you post up what you have for rears, I'm sure someone can find them.

    1988 Mack Superliner RW613 Tri-axle heavy hauler.

    That will make it clunk. Cheaper than diff. troubles, but not a total guarantee that there aren't a few teeth missing in the diff. You'll get a chance to look at it all, when you pull differential to look for shrapnel, and get the other piece of the axle out. It could be a lot worse, at...

    Gooseneck vs Pintle Hitch

    Those are some nice looking ramps, do they have cylinders or springs to help them back up for travel?

    1988 Mack Superliner RW613 Tri-axle heavy hauler.

    The winch will require some air switches for the brake release, and it may have a free wheel release- that's likely what the switches between the seats are for. It likely has the "automatic" power divider/ lock. Think of it like a limited slip axle, when it has slip action, it will "lock"...

    2 speed eaton rears? If you like what you have, just find a cut off with the same axles you have now, and you would have a instant full set of spare parts. Axles, diffs, housings. You would have to get used to dumping and raising suspension for loading and unloading. And I guess to...

    The raydan has the upper beam built a little different than the hendrickson. We've got two on raydan and two with hendrickson air over walking beam, and the raydan's are nothing but problems, and the hendricksons have been trouble free. The two with hendrickson, aren't as heavy (10k lighter...

    They mostly had a lot of side to side play and wear. The uppers were totally shot a year ago, we replaced them, and I decided we needed to do the rest. It really needs a alignment, and I couldn't see that doing a lot of good with worn bushings. We had trouble getting the upper one, but...

    Suspension work. It's a raydan air over walking beam. I don't think the bushings were in as bad of shape as I thought.

    Great Deals!

    Their chicken/ turkey coops are 500-750'+ long. There's not a long list of guys looking for that job. But considering there's a egg shortage, maybe this is a new alaska venture?

    Caterpillar owns them, and are supposed to be providing support for the old machines.

    RGN renovate

    Decking material looks good. But, no paint? The suspension beam being wrong gives you a extra week to get a weenie roller from walmart. The trailer gods have spoken.
