Steel Soldiers now has a few new forums, read more about it at: New Munitions Forums!
It might be because you were always outdoors around them.
Holy Smokes! That is one big tongue wheel! How does that fold up out of the way?
Sure glad nobody got seriously hurt in that incident.Instead of calling the thing a Power Plant now, you could call it a catapult. Anyway, they parked the truck and opened the tow pintle. The tow pintle has a small edge in it. The trailer hung up on the edge, but didnt go up, due to the top of the towing pintle holding it in place. A soldier was standing on the tongue, when the driver pulled the truck away. No rear landing leg on the trailer, as someone had drove away with it down, so it was long gone. As soon as the truck pulled about 5 inches forward, the rear of the trailer shot down, the tongue shot UP, and the young trooper looked like superman leaping tall buildings in a single bound. The troop went over the rear set and landed in a scum water filled ditch that bordered the parking place. I was standing about 30 meters away. Not a thing I could do but grunt, when he hit the ground. He was young and lucky. I guess I am telling this story, to remind you to be careful with this trailer. If you have kids, educate them about this man eater.
Is that an electric model, or is it pneumatic?speaking of harbor freight, the needle scaler from them is fantastic. Made short work of the flaking CARC and the few rusted spots. Worth every penny.
Is PEX rated to carry fuel?It has just occurred to me that I may not want to have 75 gallons of fuel resting right beside my house. New plan is to mount the fuel tank behind my shed, next to my propane tank, and route the fuel line under ground to the generator with 1/2" PEX using iron/aluminum/copper pipe as risers above ground.
