Half inch of rain last night, and no pooling. With the SOA it is a pretty steep angle.

A spare M1102 trailer.
Astr,
That's cool! Did they flip it for you, when loading? I had the guys at a OK. base load a M105 on my flatbed and they took out the air tank! Some sites stopped flipping trailers.

I brought a couple of tow straps that we hooked into the sling D-rings on the front of the trailer then using their forklift were able to flip the trailer over on the ground. Then we hooked another set of starps to the rear sling D-ring and were able to pick the trailer up upside down and set it on the bottom trailer. I had made up alignment brackets out of angle iron that locked the two trailers together. It took all of 5 minutes for the whole flip/load operation. We towed the combination from NY to MI without any problem.
Technically put in. Built pipes to support tarp. Plans off the cdn m101 Yahoo site.
Had a 6BT in it a couple of weeks ago:
Had a bunch of junk wood in it yesterday to bring to the dump. Spring cleaning time I guess!

Johnny,
I've got a couple of the A3's. Love the axle. Seems everybody wants to toss it because of weight. Now, What's up with the 6bt?

Me too man, I'm absolutely loving it! I thought I wanted to sell it at one point, but realized that was a mistake. When I bought the trailer it was mint, and I've beat the bed up a bit since then, using it for what it was built to do IMO.
6BT was cheap, so I'm going to rebuild it over time for a tow rig that I've yet to purchase. It was too cheap to pass up

Finished up the bows on the 54' David Bradley with paint ...attached to the original wood rack... And reinstalled the tarp cover... Ready for leaves
Poor trailer is not happy with me. She's filled up with concrete from what used to be my front side walk:
Springs are not happy.

Don't up north as often as I would like. Because of that I make the most out of each trip. In the last picture under that crate and boxes with steel shelving is a set of axles and drivelines along with misc. other cruiser parts.

Had a fully loaded Cummins 6BT in my M416 a few days ago.
Not sure what it is but I really enjoy this thread, keep the pictures coming. I'm hoping to pickup an M101 CDN sometime.

I think I was close this time around!! Ended up being 5400# of concrete.
HEY... that's MY M416 (or at least it was....) :-(

Am I seeing this right it cost $120 to dump your trailer? Here in the Phoenix we get one free dump a month with a water bill to show your a resident.
Due to the fact that it's concrete, yes, that's the rate at the city dump here.
Called them today to double check and that's it.

Years ago my ex had a tri level that the PO had install a store room outside a downstairs bedroom. Son in-law help me tore it down. Moved the debris to a friend who lived in the are and having bulk trash pick up. City left all the concrete and won't pick it up with bulk trash. Loaded it into the my truck and dumped it for free. Not sure if they was a limit or not but wasn't charged. Now if you have business and showed up every month I think they would charge you. Once a month is for personal not business.
