    The real problem is tongue weight. The class 3, 5,000 lb factory hitches are only rated for 500 lb of tongue weight The class 5 hitch I use is rated for 20,000 lb with 3,000 lb of tongue weight and my 15,000 lb equipment trailer maxes that out. Judging by the duel tires on this trailer it has a higher GVW

    I was at a medical briefing on Tuesday and the flu is more dangerous. The recommendations were to stay away from sick people, don’t shake hands, don’t touch your face and wash your hands regularly

    It is sick but it goes with Vegas Vegas is all about the shinny new things. Trucks are just to get a job done and when they are old they are scrap. Living in Southern California I have found that it is odd that there is not a single yearly truck show I Las Vegas that features antiques.

    I was at a BBQ place tonight and I watched an older white guy take several of the big bottles of BBQ sauce to his table. I guess he didn’t understand what the stacks of little cups next to the six different bottles of BBQ sauce were for. Maybe he accidentally pick up the bottle of super hot BBQ sauce!

    I primarily work on industrial projects. It’s amazing that a tractor and trailer can fit through the space I left open but the new fancy car can’t. For residential projects I hate working in rich areas because of the people’s entitled attitude. I prefer working in middle class areas

    That explains why your hood looks like it is setup for the fixed cab The passenger side channel is for the fixed cab, I actually need one of those You will need two of the channels and two spacers

    The plate you have is the one that is riveted to the hood. Make shore the rivets are good and use the correct ones if you have to replace them. McMaster Carr has the rivets for the fiberglass You just need to register on the PAI website and you will get an email with your password and then you can log in and view/print the catalog pages

    This is two pieces the first piece bolts to the hood through the center of the bracket you have, I think the bolt is 3/8" fine tread, then the channel shaped piece attaches to it with two screws and nuts The parts are NLA trough Mack but it looks like PAI now has them

    I went to the parts house today and they had the tie rod end on the shelf, that almost never happens for me. The box even says made in USA

    These are the mounts on the Hayward 1975 RS685LT These are the rotted mounts on the 1985 RS688LST

    The white truck is a 1985 and I like that style better but the drivers side bracket is rusted out, and it's the only rust I have found on the truck. The truck started its life with Texaco and i found it in California. At some point in its life the frame rails were replaced My 1975 has a different style on it and they need some serious repairs

    I finally got the tie rod end off of the pitman arm. After all the ideas on where to hit it failed it took some heat and one good whack with a big hammer to break it free
  22. Quickfarms
    Are the Hayward ones different? The truth is I need a drivers side bracket for the 1985, it all rusted out but that's the only rust on the truck so I am wondering if it was changed at some point. The 1975 Hayward Mack has different style ones on it that I think are ugly and need a bunch of repairs So I was hoping to find some replacements in better condition before I spend a bunch of time fixing what I have

    I picked up the new valve today, the only part that they reused was the adapter. They said that my old spool was actually bent
