Pete I have a pintle on my dump trailer because I had it pop off the ball once with 4 yrds of top soil in it.
Once you have that happen to you go to a pintle.

Mornin Jim, Andy! Gotta get some breakfast and then top off the coolant on the vw, put the new O2 sensor in, and put in the exhaust that I welded last night. The pipe going to the flange at the CAt converter broke completely off on my trip, so I just ground it smooth at the flange, recessed it in a tiny bit, welded a piece of tubing to it, and cut the other part of the exhaust smooth as well so it will basically just be a sleeve when the muffler and cat are put back on.

Not in the mail, but one stopped and gave a flyer to our downstairs neighbor. They are probably excited because we have 4 vehicles in the driveway.

Well the folks at mediquick are very friendly... found that out after being unfortunate enough to get adhesive remover in my eye while my mother was around... they basically said "You're fine... why are you here?"
