The axle brackets I just bought are probably the spring perches that you speak of. And yes, six inches would be nice.[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/img]

I just need to unbolt the u-bolts, weld the spring perch on, and rotate the axles upright again. Right now my tires toe out a little bit.

Well the in-laws are out from Illinois[IMG][/IMG][IMG][/IMG] Already had a azz chew from the mother in-law on the way home from the airport[IMG][/IMG] Guess we get to go to Oceano this weekend. Maybe I'll bury her in the sand and like everything else you bury in the sand, loose her[IMG][/IMG]</end quote></div>



It is at times like these that I'm happy to be single. [IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif" border="0[/IMG] [IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif" border="0[/IMG]</end quote></div>

Yea, but the wife is trying to keep me happy[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img]

I wouldn't be flipping the axle 180[img][/img] You just need to get some spring perches welded on the top of the axles so the spring will rest on top of the axle and not bolted from underneath. That should give you about six inches of height to the trailer. (I'll leave the joke open for you here)[img][/img]</end quote></div>

Exactly what Creator said[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/img]

Hoss, sounds like you got her fixed now. Are you doing this yourself? If so, pictures[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/img] I'll be looking at the same project this fall.

First one to say anything. Zone it went unnoticed/unsaid.

I've decided if I ever get a PSD (hahaha) that's the plate I'm gonna get. Should be interesting explaining it on the request form.

LOL! that's a great idea for a plate[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img] Your onto something there[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/img]

 

Just got back from Pismo, seeing more bigger and better towing rigs down there[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-shocked.gif[/img] Saw 5-5 Kodiac 4500s and about the same in the F650 category[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img] One F650 went all the way to Kentucky to get his custom paint job. Good looking truck.

 

Skinner, electrical question for you. My Honda 5000 generator stopped making electricity. Last time it did, the GFI circuit breaker kept tripping. Now, I can't get it to trip when I test it. The switch on the breaker flips or trips real easy, kinda like a house light switch. Should it be stiffer? (That's a loaded question[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-shocked.gif[/img]) and is there a way of checking the breaker before I pay an arm and a leg? Reminder, I am not real good with elelctricity[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-sad.gif[/img]

If a GFCI is constantly tripping it's usually one of 2 things: there's a ground fault somewhere and it's behaving perfectly normal. 2, it's gone faulty. aka NFG (let you're mind wonder on that means.) Will it trip without a load? Trip with any load? Only trips with a certain load? Without a load I'd say it's bad. It should just be sitting there looking pretty. With any load, sounds like it's gone bad. With only a certain load, check the load for a ground fault. Chaffed cord or such.

And since it's not tripping on test, that's pretty much a bad thing. Are you getting any power from any of the receptacles? If not then the generator itself (stator) could be bad. And yep, those go bad too. With a 5K set, there's probably a 30A 240V 1phase receptacle on their. If you have a meter check for power there. If there isn't, the main breaker could be bad (generally breakers are stiff. (loaded comment))

To check the breaker check for voltage on the line side (incoming from the generator). The breaker should be a 2 pole unit. Which means you'll have 4 wires, 2 line and 2 load. If there's voltage on the line side, but no voltage on the load side, then I'm gonna go out on a limb and say it's bad. [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/img] If there's power on the load side and it goes off and comes back with the breaker then the breaker is good. Just start tracing down to the individual receptacles.

I'd suggest wearing some leather work gloves just in case there's a ground fault on the generator itself. No bare skin and only 100% cotton clothing. And I mean ALL clothing. You can test with a continuity tester first. Ground receptacles should buzz out to the frame as well as the neutrals. The hot shouldn't.
