Old lowboy walking beam suspension questions?
Swishy. replied to seyser's topic in Tractors and Equipment
Me thinks U need to ask your self R U gunna use the trailer every day How many ton U gunna haul if U were to weld and join the axles as ridgid The design of the suspension is a ridgid type that does not allow for side oscilation imagie one wheel dropping down into a hole .............. Whats gunna happen the are many Low Boy (low Loaders) in Australia with cut axles normally with Hyd suspension Normally called full deck widners cya -
Leave the neck conected & sideload the beasts in the pic Removeing the neck is a slow process or fit a beaver tail to the RSend of the trailer cya

Mrs gudday m8 it would B good 2 C U n the Mrs Mack @ Kyabram but U can still roll up in person cos U aint got too many pubs to pass to get to Kyabram I must have gone thru life with me blinkers on Never ever heard of a Engine Brake and exhaust brake used together are U gunna bother fit n the pyrometer doo dadd? Mowerman Re: bit about rookies and wrong gear In Australia it boils down to 'Make do or do without' RE: conversion to right hand drive A mate had on old mack well past its use by date with all the gearing across the dash ti was more like a death trap until U got use to wrestling with the steering wheel due to the gearing slop and backlash... A bit more of the Mack Titan dreem cya

Think n back in history me thinx the early hi torque maxidynes were fitted with a 5 or 6 speed mack cog box the idea when driving @ full reves 2100 RPM pull gear lever into neutral wait for revs drop 1100rpm (or roll a cigarette) while U B waitin for the revs to drop so U can grab the next gear mack had a clutch brake and the idea to kill the revs between gears by hitting the clutch brake in neutral made for a faster gear change by slowing the cogs advance on a few years with a Maxidyne 5 or 6 speed cog box you could kill the revs by using the dynatard where you could pull the gear straight thru to the next cog this idea was great U did half the gearchanges compared to a green screemer & RR gear box twas the next best this to driving an Auto When the clutch brake aint working properly... thro the clutch to start off to pik up a gear is to drag the gear lever into the biggest badest cog 1st gear then select the gear U lookn for or engage the PTO then shift to neutral cya
