Superliner RW700 Steering axle

[1961H67]

Your exactly right, if I had it to do over I would have taken more time prepping the hood and cab before I painted it,, it started as a axle replacement just to get it back to where I could use it, trying to get it done quicker so I could work on the Freedom Superliner. I probably would have stripped the paint completely off and started with a good epoxy primer,, as it is I just hit the bad spots with primer,, washed it with Ajax , taped and painted. At least it won’t hurt so much if it gets some tree limb scratches .

There you go but from the photographs most of us, I’m sure are on the same page. It looks fantastic and does not look like you rushed anything.

Dean, I recognized the big yellow lever as a PTO engagement shifter, so the hoist control is the the small post on the corner with the small yellow button in the center???? Just push it raise the body and let go and the body comes down??? This wet line set p will be good with your Landoll trailer..

The littler one (in the front) is to engage the PTO. The larger one to the back is the air control for the hoist. Both, the center stays and you sorta lift the flanged (?) part with your index and middle fingers. I wonder if the "button" you're asking about in the corner is the light that looks to be missing it's lense ?  Usually that'll have a red lense on it and light up if the PTO is engaged.

The small yellow button is to keep the PTO from accidentally being engaged, the lever towards the back of the cab is to let the fluid flow to the trailer,, the Landoll has a 2 line system, Engage the PTO , Move rear lever like you would raise a dump,, but leave it in that position, then work the controls on the outside of the trailer. It has a big “ Dump Pump “ on it , I could use a small box pump for the Landoll, but it’s already all hooked up.

I'm haveing visions of that RW pulling a 36' MACsimizer.   😍

Yes the lens is missing,,, My next rainy day project,, . I got both strobes working yesterday. A lot of small things that’s a good time to repair while it’s still in the shop,,, Unfortunately if it goes out and gets hooked to a trailer stuff will get put on the back burner.

That gorgeous shifter ball might have to be one of my finishing touches if I live that long .. as well as 2 toggle switch extensions… both seem to complete a full restoration cab atleast lol

Dean, Thank You for updating my mind on how these new air controls work. It has been many years (40??) since I pulled a Dump trailer.

I grew up on old dumps with 2 metal levers coming up through the floor, or a cable pull under the dash for the pto ,,, And never had a problem with them,, the air and some electric is nice and clean,,, but sooner or later it’s more prone to failure than the direct mechanical.

Same here!!! Although the cable pull was on the floor between the seats.. Same with the tanker pumps.

My DM used to be a dump it has 3 levers coming through the floor I have not removed yet.im assuming 1 for PTO … other 2 were for up and down… I removed the body years ago
