What is the JD sitting next to the frame? It looks like a D or R type wheatland tractor.

Yes. It's to keep from the cables hanging too low. Nothing special. They are often rusted/thrown away.

Might ask NumberDummy about it - I'm not able to look it up 2A709. I'm guessing an error/omission.

I was referring to the p/s pic, front cab mount it looks like you repaired the body bushing mount area on the cab frame mount...I was wondering if you used the frame saver washer that are for sale from broncograveyard or did you repair it yourself, either way that frame looks real good.

funny story, well not really! The ONLY day I had use of the trailer, I forgot to fix that mount, and as I was strapping it down I was DAMN! I found a washer that is very close to size, and welded it over the top, Not ideal at all. Anywho, I figure ill die grind the hole to size once I get the new mounts. As for the washer being on top, Worst case I'll have to shim the other side, and maybe the rad support as well.....not a big deal!

Thanks alot jermafenser for looking that stuff up. I'll ask ND, otherwise I should be able to find some springs that will work.

thanks again man!
