Only other thing you need to consider it that the air filler (valve) needs to be facing DOWN so you can check it before each trip. And just know that a flat tire gets your trailer down pretty close to the ground. Now what do you do when you lower the tire to the ground? Is there enough...

If it has been stored inside like the pictures show, it's value to you went way up.
Meaning it might not be a rat's nest if it has been stored under roof.

Without losing your fingers, if you have a bar of soap you can stop belt squeaks. OR, if you are able to use that same bar of soap and rub the inside of the belts (again - one at the time) rotate the motor a little and rub more soap.
If it is a belt squeak, it will disappear for a while...

I replaced the handles on my M1089. It isn't really all that bad. On the other hand, I wasn't smart enough to carry my new (used) handles to the locksmith first... So, if you figure out the magic to remove the key cylinder I would be grateful because an $8 lockset is a cheap way to lock the...

Wonder if that "tilted back" was when somebody bumped or pushed a tree or a truck...?
Definitely good that you were able to get it level.

Good Looking Truck! Snag us a few more pictures when you get the chance :cool:
Best thing in the world is having somebody to turn wrenches with you... Even better if it is a dad or a son. Happy to hear that she looks good on the underside!

It gets paid for once.

Neat to know! Thanks @2Pbfeet . I walked out back a few minutes and looked under a 1973 model machine and it has the exact same material under it. Amazing how regular preventive maintenance will keep an old girl happy and running.

@cucvrus ,
I am not there but the alignment on the body parts sure looks good! That body skill all by itself is amazing. Also see you are back into picture posting again. Glad to be able to see what is going on again. :)
Hate to hear about the demise of your 3/4 impact socket. Kinda like...

That is impressive!
Glad to hear that sort of progress too.
Amazing what some wooden blocks will do.
We have equipment here in the printshop that are installed on wooden blocks.
Picture Below. This machine doesn't vibrate like a GenSet, but all the same . . .
I can't speak to the cuts...

@2Pbfeet ,
I'd bet that @Mainsail 's wife would donate a few extra bathmats for testing against the rock wall.
That is a heck of an idea. Nice way to test the results too!
Might react differently too if the mats were hung in the air a few inches away from the wall...

@Vapor Trail ,
It isn't really funny, but I had to laugh. No, there is no reason in the world for a lot of the pages. Just imagine how it would be if the TM's were to be used in other countries. It would easily be ten thousand pages. Everything in all kinds of languages...
There are...
