    My granite had similar problems last year. It was the wiring loom that goes from the front of the frame into the hood. It had chaffed through and was shorting the left light cluster.....

    From the album: NFS

    Curt swallowed whole by a sink hole on a pig fram. Well line was leaking and he got too close. Loaded with 22 tonnes of pig feed. Two sucker trucks (mine setup to the right) to get most of the load off for the wrecker. Still pulled the wrecker back about 2' before Curt's International came up out of the hole....Coulda stuck my arm trough the gap between the box and the frame on the passenger side.

    hose storage. 5 individual lengths of pipe (up to 15' long) fit. I carry about 40' of blower hose, and 10' of lighter weight rubber vacuum hose for the transfer unit. Plus many adapters in the tool box. Always prepared

    side view of the airlock (transfer airlock shown). Feed falls from above into the "compartments" of the rotating air lock. At the 6o'clock position, the blower pipe blows the feed through the pipe (or the air if no pipe is connected).

    Similar story: My only "wire down" incident was trying to navigate a residential street in an old town, with a genie Z-60-34 on the deck of the roll off. Saw leaves and branches flying, then out of the corner of my eye, a wire whipping through the air.... Cable TV was hung lower than everything else. Measured before I left, was 13'4" to the top of the beacon on the genie.

    I had really good luck with Hercules on the granite. These were 425's 22.5 tho. They wore better than the bridgestones over the 60,000 km I ran em.
