For three years I have had this bunch of pics on my phone, repairs and rebuilds of trailers over the years. I'll get some posted up soon.
Thanks for the compliment. Shop does stay a little messier than I would like. But when you stay busy...Nice work. A great looking shop too!
nothing to worry about for at least 48 hoursAnybody see a problem here?View attachment 192850
On the Trucklite connectors, best thing is a tub of Dielectric connection grease, Brush on LIBERALLY do not need too neat in places where can collect crud. do both the lamp sockets and the connector pins. I had some years back started running wiring in Air Brake or any form of Flexible tubing, set to the frame with screws and loop retainers, saves having wiring pulled away with snow or ice even mud.
Looks like that Pintle eye had seen enough work load!!
That 40' an old Utility?
If you look closely at the eye, somebody built it up with weld once before. Big no-no nowadays.nothing to worry about for at least 48 hours
Friend of mine down south of here had a bad creek to cross to gain access to his farm. Bought two old late sixties Utility external frame trailers, built a bridge with them!! I do not think time was on their side as to corrosion and stress damage where have since been replaced with a Real Bridge but were Bee's Knees back in the 80s.
You gotta remember there was a manure spreader truck in there last week. After all the hammering it left it's mark on the floor. And in the air...BTW, shop's too clean, kinda lot TS Shop, you guys need to bring in the old dirty wagons and play awhile!!
