    7H3596 looks like a track shoe bolt. Might be able to snag a few used ones this week lol.

    Can a guy check the liner height 1 at a time or is it best to clamp all 6 down at once. Can't imagine torqueing down 1 liner at a time would be good for the spacer plate.

    Edit: Or is it 7H3598?

    They do better with the cold though. Heat will kill them in short order if stuck in traffic in the summer during the day.

    Piglets won't do well transporting in winter without the winter kit

    yeah he's set up for hogs. It's probably not that cold if he's only got that many holes covered.
    mine slide into the tracking thats on the outside of the trailer. That way I can remove or add some pieces as the weather changes or if you have to wait somewhere.

    I was just looking at the procedure in SIS. On mine they call for 14 copper washers and an H-bar. I'm assuming on my A that means 4 bolts/washers per liner instead of 6. Looks to me like they use the H-bar and a round adapter plate to pull down harder on the liner? Being that I just had the block machined do you guys think that just torqueing down the bolts and washers at 4 points around each liner would be enough to get an accurate reading?

    Sorry for all the questions. Just don't want to F it all up lol.

    That procedure and sheet I showed you is right out of an original A book. Not saying they haven't updated the procedure

    An acquaintance of my wife's older brother did a couple years of research in Iowa on shipping hogs. I don't know much about it, but I recall hearing that temperature as well as time of day, length of haul, and some other factors were studied. Maybe spray systems in the trailers to aid in cooling in the summer?

    I don't know what any of the conclusions were, but I suspect they confirmed a lot of what you in the industry have known for years.
