This is a dumping trailer. The back of the trailer touches the ground at full tilt. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Handy Don 14,045 #24178 Posted yesterday at 07:36 PM If the tractor loading guy had moved the tractor farther forward on the trailer, of course, the truck's rear tires would’ve been back on the ground. Lucky he wasn’t killed chasing the rig. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

MainelyWheelhorse 1,499 #24182 Posted 22 hours ago After work, the bezel had dried fully so on it went for now. I still need to add the chrome accents and horse but that’s the easy part. It’s getting there piece by piece. 6 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

On all of my tractors, the spindle pokes out of the top of the axle casting by only enough to secure it with a circlip...my guess is that the 'upstand' is therefore no more than 1/8" (including the circlip) or thereabouts...surely nowhere near enough to guarantee that the cap wouldn't just pop off and end up in the mower? 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
