Important

Been busy this week working on the replacement for my truck.

can you legally use a pintle hitch on the street?
 
yes, that is what dump trucks that haul trailers are set up with, as well as many pieces of farm equipment

Now send a cpoy to a trusted friend, that won't loose it.

when I lived in Florida, we would videotape all the personal belongings in our house and send a copy to my parents. We had Hurricanes buzzing near our home every year. You wouldn't believe how much crap you forget you have. I would open each tool drawer and video the tools.

I know pulling them around at the airport it would bang around pretty bad, guess it's not an issue though.
 
Looks good Travis. Is it going to be at WF?

The pintle isn't really an issue except in stop and go traffic and while backing, but once you get used to it, it's fine.

If the pintle and hook are the correct size and not worn, it isn't even an issue then either.... There is no banging, clanging or real slop to deal with.

BTW, I'll bet Mark's wife(and neighbors) are happy that trailer is in Travis' hands now....:roflmao:

True... I wrapped the pintle on my M416 with electrical tape to soften the noise a bit. Redneck, but it worked.

Forgot to mention it is Mark's old trailer... He did a great job building it, I'm just taking it to the next level.

The build thread is here:

Didn't mean to 'out' you. I just drooled over it(every time I seen the pics) for a couple of years....
I can't convince the finance and planning commision I need one like that...

Thanks alot.... After reading your thread, I read some more of that site. Now I want to build something like the stuff on there.....

Any one want to help me haul it to the basement?

Just have a M & G at your place. That reminds me.. there hasn't been any decent sized M & G's for a while. When is Meatfest?
