5th Wheel Pin kit for Running End Dump

How can u start a post on here im new to the forum so dont know how to post questions? Just know how to reply but cant find where to post

 

Ok yea I kind of get u seen a couple that says that

 

How do I go to the section/subject question I want to post or start a thread? Do I search it on the search bar????

 

A lot of folks around here just use some scrap and build a u shaped block that gets held in by the bolt on the side. That bolts only purpose is to keep the pivot pin below it from backing out.

I’ve seen some leave it tilted back and use two pieces of angle on the side of the ramps and bolt it in that position.

Me personally with the Fontaine I had I used some scrap and raised the factory stops, then later bought a factory blocked wheel.

 

I used a local welding/fab shop to do mine.

 

Looks to me like you have a Jost. There should be a tag on there somewhere.

 

The slide rail plate assembly bolted to the frame is Holland. The slider rail locks are Holland style. Holland usually has riveted tag on Lh side ear and they cast name on both top and underside of plate.

 

The thing you need to watch out for if the wheel can still rock forward is it will eventually wear a bad notch in the side edge of the plate from the up and down slamming movement on that rear bar destroying the plate. Round bars are a little more gentle with it.
