Dumb trailer idea
They do make them new typically with two axles and maybe 3-4' between the axles. I've seen some hilarious home made versions with one pickup axle, no lights like not even a spot to mount them, no wires, no brakes, but a really good hitch do it won't run away from the pickup pulling it -
Dumb trailer idea
Spotted this trailer, no not the tanker, and I forgot about pipe trailers. They are typically narrower because you can't fully load them and can be built out of junk pipe. This has increased the probability that I might actually do this. -
1990 Mack RD wiring info
A lot of the new trucks put the brakes lights on with the park brake, then when you turn the transmission (and not the rears, transfer case) with the brake on the dash beeps at you all day -
Accomadating a neighbor
The sign is a terrible idea, run away from it. People can call and ask you if it's open- cfherrman

Accomadating a neighbor
Don't water the county road, you shouldn't risk getting fined, jailed, or sued because your neighbor is a asshole. Don't negotiate with terrorists.- cfherrman

Engine developments
I think if you made a variable expansion pipe you could make two stroke great again. That or two stroke gas over electric as the two stroke only needs to run one rpm. My idea is to build a flathead straight 6 with port injection turning 1800 rpm gas over electric, thing will never die. Ice...- cfherrman

Engine developments
There is a company that has cam less valve engines and they use pneumatics off a belt driven compressor. Low production expensive cars, I can't remember the name something like koeningsburg. Vvt systems are just cheaper and work better and are already developed. I would still think it's the...- cfherrman

Anyone know small Perkins engines? 103-10
I was able to get it, the tab the limits the throw to the shut off was bent, I put it back to 90, here's a short I made when I was struggling.

Dumb trailer idea
I agree I didn't like that build too much and the fact that it almost goes to the bump stops makes me think it's too much weight for it. I think ball joints that are no longer turning will do far better then ones that are still turning. I'm still going to probably plan this thing out in my...
