Croft Trailer has the best price on that shock and outstanding customer service.Got my m101a2 Vin verified �� trailer brakes started jerking when coming to a stop so I iess it's time for a new, o erpriced shock absorber for the surge brake.
thank you I have a book coming to me and this has help me and now I need to learn to weld things right.https://www.crofttrailer.com/1844-2-hydro-act-actuator-damper-shock/
This will make it easier to find.
Your reasoning makes sense to me. But is that a good thing !Christmas came early this Thanksgiving. I had go to the dump today and found three jugs of used vegetable oil. I do it every year going to the dump looking for vegetable oil after Thanksgiving. I treat the trailer deck with it and got lucky as there was plenty sooner than I thought. Problem is driving around with the trailer I get a craving for fried chicken. Also the wood loves it as a tree use to be a vegetable for Dinosaurs so vegetable and tree same thing right.
Veg soake in after a couple of days in the sun and not slick. I take used motor / transmission to the recycle tank at the dump.I use new Transmission fluid to treat my trailers wood.
Last a very long time (years) before needing additional treatment.
No it does not make wood slick.
Plus the red tint makes it look great.
At my age I don't even need a reason to do any stupid. I am a Tri sexual I will try anything once.Your reasoning makes sense to me. But is that a good thing !
tobyS - Is that a military version of an "easybrake" mechanical brake activator I spy?Making the M1101 that I cut for the S788 shelter into a weld trailer. I am lengthening the tongue 16" and made it 3.5" lower. There will be another 1/2" plate across the top of the tongue piece to weld a better jack, one with extendable foot but no wheel.
I'm deciding what to do on a steel top.
Edit...in case anyone thinks an exactly 3" tube is the same width as the tongue and 2 plates on the 1101-2....it's not. If I don't put a 1/16" spacer between the new tube and the welded on plate, it will draw up when welded and not go on the tongue tube with side plates. Similarly, the surge brake unit must have 1/16" steel plate shim. I need a more accurate measuring eye when I start this stuff.
I can only imagine ! Oak anything out here costs a fortune !The rest of the planks are twenty six foot long and one piece. You don't want to know what 46 feet of this board cost.
