I had surgery yesterday to remove a precancerous spot from the top of my head so I didn't fell like doing much more than taking the parts to the shop. New seals and spring installed. Cylinder also rebuilt. I have been having my butt kicked by COVID for the last 5 days. Maybe I'll get this installed over the next few days.

ebinmaine 67,472 #4285 Posted June 11, 2022 Took a few minutes to begin moving the axle back on my black 17 cubic foot trailer. I couldn't find a true side shot so here's a couple older older angle shots to show the original location, centered. How it sets now... 1 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ebinmaine 67,472 #4287 Posted June 11, 2022 6 minutes ago, SylvanLakeWH said: Why? Lotsa reasons. Increase balance. Increase load capacity. Increase ability to dump loads at a better steeper angle. Put more weight on the tractor for better traction. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ebinmaine 67,472 #4294 Posted June 11, 2022 Got the black trailer to a better point of usage. Added a few flat washers where the sheet metal is torn. I used the existing rear bolt holes and moved the axle front row back to that point. Gained about 14" I think. Drilled new holes for the rear row of bolt holes. Found a flat piece of metal to use as a dolly with a couple different hammers. Straightened out the sheet metal to some extent. The upward dump angle is now significantly higher and better. 2 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SylvanLakeWH 25,557 #4295 Posted June 11, 2022 Got me thinking now about mine… But I only haul and dump kids, so maybe I shouldn’t increase the dumping angle? 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Rob J. 1,941 #4298 Posted June 11, 2022 Well today I rehabbed a seat for my B-80. Yes I cheated and bought a cushion from Matt. But so much nicer than the cheap plastic hard ass cushioned run of the mill lawn mower seat was. Gitty up! 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
