    72-3" x 3" x 3/8" T-1 "washers" on 3 19 axles in 2015 (24 per trailer). These went at the ends of the steering cylinders and were oriented in the direction of the wear. I laid out the holes and used a mag drill with an annular cutter, then cut them on a bandsaw. 2 sets of new cold rolled pins 36-5" and 36-7". The first driver said he went from offsets wider than the duals to less than a tire width after it was done. The other two were just as happy.

    So is that just a normal XL stretch and those floors are removable?

    Interesting. We have a 35 ton stretch. How much does one of those floors weigh?

    Yes, AR400 would be too brittle. It shouldn't be used for anything structural that has to carry any weight.

    That's what I thought, we use it to skin our dozer blades but I didn't think it had much tensile strength.
     
    SAR and Oxbow Thank this.
