I think it was technically still boardman . But off that 730 highway like ur going eastbound to umatilla . Looked like a pretty big facility for it to do nothing but store computer systems? Must have been 100+ emergency generators hooked up to the building as well... must be a lucrative business

 

Yeah, you're 18 miles west of where I was unloading at, and now...I see they built a ton more than when I was hauling there.

 

Been seeing those buildings going up. Now I know what they will be.

Wonder if they got a permit thing to siphon water off the river for the cooling system?

 

Mower decks 20 of them, and each one has to be hand turned so a forklift can take it off. If I never haul these again it will be to soon...

 

Was just thinking the same thing, although it could be because the electric power is there, or they need the water close by for putting out the fires.

 

What is the cut diameter on the largest ones?

Usually load them 90 degrees from that. Depending on the box /rack on the bottom, can go 4 or 5 across.

 

New air bags, new torque arms, new bag crossmembers, new brakes on the lead axle, Centrifuse drums on both axles, new drive tires, moved the old drives to the trailer.

Pulled the spacers out from between the C springs and frame brackets, built new, shorter bag crossmembers, redrilled the trac bars mounts higher on the frame, new extended upper shock mounts. This is frame height at the rearmost axle, no air in any of the suspension.

With air in the suspension, the rear bag is extended 1” more than the lead drive axle bag.

Prior to these modifications it was almost 3” difference between the bags, and the shocks on the lead axle would bottom out when you dumped the air.

Now they’re 1” from fully compressed with the air dumped.

Should finish it up today. Need to cut the mudflaps down a couple inches, and finish the overinflate setup on the rear suspension.
Then wash the old sow…

 

Lol I don’t think anyone will accuse you of being lazy nice job!

 

Probably 72 inches and yes 90 degrees would have made more sense and is what I’m passing along to our team to discuss with Deere.

 

I'd seriously consider giving up my left nut to be able to fabricate like that.
How did you get the new cross pieces between the airbags formed? I don't think anyone here in my corner of Podunk California can do that. If they could it would cost a fortune.
