What if it Snows?

Must be going way across town. Two tanks and sooted trailer top, plenty fuel turned to it.

 

Clark Eqpt used Stellite valves in their base engines for years. No problem then when making it gas or propane coming down the assembly line, and a plus if dealer had to convert for a sale. Tho; same engine in same application, propane will be a little weaker.

 

Old flats and tankers can be maintained and kept up. As long as the frames good. Vans are a different story. No frame. Only cross beams side rails and wood flooring. It all works together. Roofs, panels, doors, can be fairly cheap and simple to repair. Start replacing side rails, flooring, cross beams. Labor and parts gets very expensive. Usually not worth it. After 10 yrs. they’re on their way out. Mines 14 yrs old. Reefers are a whole other deal. Floors usually crack, insulation gets water logged. Old Reefers weigh a lot more than when new. They’re full of water. Then there’s the units. 10k hrs is a lot. 20k hrs is overdue for a problem. The cost to repair, or replace. Lots of headaches. Vans and Reefers have a short life.

 

Sir,
Now that your trailer is getting is getting a little aged, it might be time to look at trading up. There are people who unluckily had some used trailers on hand
back in 2020 and at this PARTICULAR time are VERY interested in PUTTING you in something newer. A MODEST investment now in an upgrade MAY yield a very good return with MORE consistent use. I urge you to contact the branded dealer of your choice today. This situation WILL not exist very much longer
as pricing could vary drastically.

Mines starting to do that now. Rust jacking between the cross beams and side rails. When I replaced some flooring, I was surprised how flimsy each cross beam is. Mine are space every 12” and logistics posts are at 24”. Only reason it’s still in working order. It’s heavy, 2008 Trailmobile. Paid $11k 5 yrs ago from Penske. It only had 235k miles. Used for a short Automotive shuttle run in Ft. Wayne. Built like a Wabash, it has 8 roof patches. Lol, I’ve already kept it too long. It’s going to have to last a bit longer.

 

Here it is the end of January and I havent even used half my stock pile of split wood.



Think I guessed about right on hiw much I would need
