My dad has a 89 gmc 6 lug 3/4ton with a 350 700r4. We pulled about 10,000lb tractor on a pooly designed trailer. That was rough, the transmission sounded like a hydrostatic lawn mower when you got it bogged down.

That reminds me, I have one of those I need to sell.

Yep, doesnt take much to mess up a bumper with a trailer ball. Even with a pintle hitch the hitch itself is still weak.

With a receiver hitch I think with the state budget hes got a lot of area to cover on his own.

I pulled over 20,000lbs with my little jimmy. It was on a 4 wheel wagon so there was no tongue weight. I pulled it down the road, after I pulled into the street and seen it was a lot heavier then I thought I couldnt really go back. By the time I could have went around the block to go back that...

I dont know but I should have asked. He had this crawler for a pond project. It wasnt used for a business so he didnt have any large trucks but he said he hauled it a few times on that trailer. If he used a pickup that may explain why he said hes had 5 heart attacks already.

Well what Ill do is keep a eye out for a goodeneck that can haul it and add that to what I would have to spend if I decide to buy it. I can always hire someone to haul it home, its not that far. Then while Im working on it I can watch for a trailer. The guy said for 4k he would throw in a bumper...

Lets say I did buy it, would I be OK with my truck with a gooseneck? I have a hitch just would need a trailer.

Its almost a straight pull home, its right off 12, so Id just have to head down 12 about 8 miles and the head north on cleveland about 12 miles. After it was home Id only pull it if I thought I was ok when I pulled it the forst time and that would only be if I could find some work. If not Id...

I dont think the trailer weights much, its a hurst, has a 2 5/16 ball. According to the tag on the trailer Id be at the max load for it. The only time Id really ever move it other then pulling it home is if I was to make some money with it. If that was the case Id soon have money to buy a better...

If I buy it getting it home is the biggest thing. Id need to pull it like the truck is. The 6.5 is the biggest baddest pulling rig I have.

I have a HO water pump, new radiator, trailer brakes need work. I have a bumper pull trailer, not a 5th wheel.

Im thinking about buying small dozer that weights 12,400lbs. My trailer should be fine but will the truck handle it? I wouldnt have to haul it around alot but Id need to be able to move it around if I could make some money with it.

I gave is a pull and its not going to pull out. Ill get the cover off and see what I see. Maybe monday or tuesday

:hihi:

No, its a metal ring and Im pretty sure it came from inside

I was changing the oil when I noticed a ring hanging out of the hole in the inspection cover for the torque converter. Anyone know what that is? Its loose, I can move it around but it wont come out. I would think if it was a lock washer I could pull it out, almost looks like the end of a...

Wouldnt a little taller tire give you less rolling resistance?

Last summer me and my dad fixed up the building out workshop is in. my grandpa built it back in 1960 and it was in rough shape. The door was 7'3" and the poles were rotted so we jacked it up to a 10'3" door and put in all new posts. I think the original door was 7'6" but it settled and rotted...

Thought Id drag my old thread out of the dirt. I never got around to doing anything with my PYO rims so the other day I stripped the clear off one. Im going to try and clean them up and probably find some tires. The tires on my truck are getting a little bald.
