<div dir="auto">Thanks again to Steve for his idea to use the
little small trailer kit and for everyone else’s help and
advice. The job is complete. The clearance between the step
wells just wasn’t there(off by just 3/4”) so I had to raise
the cab up higher than I wanted to. But this gave me the
opportunity to design bracing and framework that was both
strong and forklift friendly. I also designed it so that
just four bolts gets the framework and the cab off the
trailer or just four cab mounting bolts gets the cab off the
framework. I really wanted the design to be easy lift and
easy dismount
<div><br>
</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>I had to raise it about 7 inches. Rather than
interrupt peoples’ weekend to help I just did it myself.
To raise it I just inched up one side at the time using a
hydraulic ram and raising the jacks.</div>

<div>Now to get the clutter out of the cab 🤣</div>

<div>Hey Brad,</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Sorry for the delay in responding I had to put it
off at the time and then just simply forgot.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Yeah I’ve got a son-in-law and a son who are both
really big strong guys who have big strong friends.
I’m thinking with some appliance lift straps or tow
straps they can get it up high enough for me too get
the trailer properly positioned underneath it.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>I currently have jack stands situated under the
side step wells and if push comes to shove they can
definitely lift each side up 2” while I keep
sticking boards between the jack stands and the side
step wells to raise it. I only need about 6 or 8
inches of additional height. This method also
allows me to incrementally and carefully lower the
cab onto locating bolts.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>I’m using wood to attach the cab to the frame of
the trailer because I can easily and quickly
fabricate the part that mounts to the cab; in place,
while properly locating the bolts holes. Then
remove it from the cab once it’s tight and right and
attach it to the trailer Then when the boys left it
down it will just be a matter of getting the trailer
lined up underneath it. </div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>If I was going to actually trailer it down the
street I would use steel but I’ll never actually tow
this thing down the street. I’ll roll it up on my
equipment trailer and carry it wherever needs to go.
trailering this directly more than a mile or two
just sounds like a recipe for damaging the cab in
some way.</div>

<div>I finally made good on my threat to
buy that little trailer from Northern
tool. Got a few small checks as gifts
this year so I went ahead and splurged.
As luck would have it, the diagonals of
the frame almost exactly match the
diagonals of the mounting points of the
cab. So this is going to fit up real
nice and easy. </div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Total cost was $396 after tax, but
there’s a coupon code for a $50 gift
card to Northern tool for purchases over
250 right now. Since I spend about
$300 a year at the store or online just
on odds and ends I consider it true
savings as I will definitely be able to
use it. So it’s $346 right now here in
NC.</div>

<div>PS: the trailer jack is brand new but
was something I had left over from an
auction several years back. The trailer
jack does not come with the trailer if
you are wondering.</div>

Bolt a couple

bolt to the

have a dolly

all in one, to

unbolt the

Cheaper than
buying the

have a small

one now that

I can get the

<p
class="MsoNormal">As
you folks may
remember, I
have committed
to starting
the
restoration of
my 1957
three-quarter
ton Chevy pick
up. The first
pieces of
business were
re-arranging
the
shop(check),
installing
airlines
(check), a
wood stove in
the shop so
that I can
work during
the winter
(check), and
installing
ceiling
mounted fans
so I can work
in the
summer(check)</p>
<p
class="MsoNormal"> </p>
<p
class="MsoNormal">Next
order of
business is
building a
dolly for the
cab. I need to
build a dolly
that will
allow me to
move it around
the shop and
also to move
it onto a
trailer to
take it to my
soda blaster
after I finish
the metal
work. Any
ideas here are
welcome.</p>
<p
class="MsoNormal"> </p>
<p
class="MsoNormal">While
I don’t
anticipate
doing a lot of
work on the
cab anytime
soon, it’s
becoming clear
to me that
even though
I’m opening up
half my shop
for this
project I’m
going to need
to be able to
scooch it
around from
time to time
to complete
some of the
other work. </p>
<p
class="MsoNormal"> </p>
<p
class="MsoNormal">I
need to finish
the cub cadet
123
restoration
1st to finish
to finalize
making room
for the
project. The
motor has been
rebuilt and
final assembly
is nearly
complete. So I
don’t
anticipate
that taking me
on a awful lot
of time. </p>
<p
class="MsoNormal"> </p>
<p
class="MsoNormal">The
front axle and
springs of the
truck were
restored
sometime ago,
and the rear
axle has only
been partially
done. So I
need to finish
up the
“sprung” work,
the driveline
and
transmission
and frame and
get wheels
sandblasted
and painted
and tires.
Then I’ll get
the cab metal
patched and to
the blaster
and painter
and get it on
the frame.</p>
<p
class="MsoNormal"> </p>
<p
class="MsoNormal">With
my schedule
that looks
like six
months-9
months of work
and all I am
willling to
plan and think
about. After
six months I
will be
finished with
school and
have extra
time to put
onto the
project.</p>
