Hey James if you weld a piece of chain to those you can use a come along and pull them out keep up the good work brother and keep on trucking I think I would use the 8 bag cutoff you have for Betty would make a nice ride have a good one brother

[@JamesPretty]

Good idea. Thx bro

[@billysmith2494]

@@JamesPretty no problem brother been there before

[@johnbird2703]

She is fighting you every step of the way but you’ll get the best of her!

[@JamesPretty]

She’s a tough old gal

[@maxpuppy96]

Those old fifth wheel pins can be torture. They weld themselves in there.

[@JamesPretty]

Ya it sucked. Took a couple hours

[@johno6963]

Another way to attempt to remove those pins is weld a nut on them then put the impact on it to break the rust a nice big slide hammer would also help or a come along tied to the Folklift. If you like me, it's hard to think of these ideas when you are struggling with the heat. Still great job you got it done.

[@JamesPretty]

ya those are great ideas.. some times my thinker isn't fully functioning lol

[@stansdds]

That fifth wheel pin was happy where it was and simply did not want to move.

[@JamesPretty]

Hahah for sure

[@edwardwilliams9874]

Good job your a one man army brother hats off to ya. Cant wait to see what ol Krystal looks like upmunder the R.G.N beautiful truck

[@JamesPretty]

thank bro

[@user-tk5gw3sx4e]

I really wish Moore people I appreciated the things you do to the trucks. I tell everyone about your channel. Can I watch every episode. Everybody don't realize you're only one man. But do more than most shops. To finish a project

[@JamesPretty]

[@cattlerepairmancattlerepai9414]

That RGN trailer looks to be in superb condition. Very nice.

[@JamesPretty]

[@billymccomas8694]

Good morning James that's definitely a job and a half stay cool on stool and neat in the seat love the old iron ❤😊

[@JamesPretty]

Thx brother

[@darrencatenacci2737]

Hi James looks like it came apart pretty hard. Got it tho. Hope you had the batteries switched off when you were welding got to be careful with ECM trucks. Can mess up the ECM. Didn’t see 11 was she hiding? Stay safe

[@JamesPretty]

I think it was. But I can’t remember.

[@BobBarenthin]

Yep work a little at a time. Heat is brutal been 115 forever here in Arizona. Get up early and stay out until about 9 or so lol.😅

[@JamesPretty]

ya thats a good plan hopefully I can pull it off.

[@kevint6672]

[@nelsonmattoon150]

Love the duals. Going to look nice with the stacks on her

[@JamesPretty]

[@danmacsween3448]

[@markgoddard3115]

Good job hey look Into add a car port that matches the building in front of the garage it be a open garage alot of shops do that just a suggestion keep up the great work

[@JamesPretty]

I really want to move. so I don't know whats going to happen but ive been thinking about a car port a lot lately

[@rickmunson8317]

Man, that was a tough job. Those 5th wheels can be a real bitch to change. Stay cool, Mr. Pretty, appreciate your hard work.

[@JamesPretty]

thanks rick.. always a pleasure

[@FreemanHochstetler-mr3ns]

Hot and humid here, can’t imagine how hot it is in your neck of the woods. I see you haven’t lost that hard work ethic. Keep them videos coming.

[@JamesPretty]

thanks brother, stay cool

[@graybeardgarage9638]

The heat makes everything more difficult. We are in Tampa Bay and it is always hot.

[@JamesPretty]

ya im tired of the heat but the direct sun just drains me even more...

[@brentbell9543]

Good morning. Just sitting here in the dark with no power watching. We've been scorching hot here too last couple days in southern manitoba. I guess the obligatory thunder storm happened in the wee hours this morning, knocked out the power. Still raining, which is cool but would've rather it not be on my day off 😂

[@JamesPretty]

thanks for watching brother. hope your power comes back on soon

[@brentbell9543]

@JamesPretty it was out about 12 hours. Luckily it clouded over and rained mid afternoon gave us a little break from the heat. Got behind on the inside jobs but allowed me to get some outside jobs done.

[@tommyhall2768]

Sorry I missed your videos . My phone got busted had to wait to get another one I'm dissatble heart trouble hope you an Jessica are fine buddy's

[@JamesPretty]

Oh no! Glad you got it worked out Tommy

[@russbrittain7379]

[@user-fl5tx1gq9r]

That truck is going to make heads turn 😮

[@JamesPretty]

I hope so. I love her she deserves to be looked at and loved.

[@ryanb.1119]

Good video James truck sounds great with the new tune in it

[@JamesPretty]

Thx brother

[@davidsimons6881]

James gotta take it easy I. The heat my friend. I am I FL now and still getting used to it.

[@JamesPretty]

ya its been rough.. im not as resilient as I was

[@alanlanghorn9528]

Best way to do those pin on the turn table is block it up with bit wood if you can get one pin out easy then put a long bar through the hole and on to the other pin that way you can hammer the harder one out not tell you how to suck eggs of course but we have done a few of oĺder trucks with stuck pins it a tough job some times you keep fighting the good fight you win in the end

[@JamesPretty]

I searched thru all my pieces and couldn’t come up with anything rigid to use.

[@stevefriedlander8091]

Awesome James keep up the great work buddy.

[@JamesPretty]

Appreciate ya

[@allenmitchum9356]

Tough but needed project James, one man crew!

[@JamesPretty]

thanks brother.

[@paulcorkum2105]

You’re getting these old girls another step forward brother keep up the amazing work love the videos Cheers brother ❤

[@JamesPretty]

Thx Paul

[@sterlingknight83]

I like how that welder has the delay and keeps flowing gas after you stop welding. Our miller at work doesn't do that. Just our tig machine. Can't wait to see her rolling down the road with a load!

[@JamesPretty]

ya its funny I just noticed that as well. Its a good feature I love this welder.

[@quackquack6116]

Gettin at it good job

[@JamesPretty]

Thx bro

[@ourr.c4065]

That looked a right bit*h of a job James, not surprised it burned you out, keep up the good work.

[@JamesPretty]

it was simple and horrible at the same time.. the heat add's to the difficulty for sure

[@edwardwilliams9874]

Yall take care be safe 🙏 have a great safe blessed day 🙏.

[@JamesPretty]

thanks brother.

[@pupweiller1]

Krystal needs one of those pretty Aluminum fifth wheels Bruce has.

[@JamesPretty]

ive been eye ballin them.. its a nice piece of bling

[@davemulley9243]

Heat the 5th wheel up around the pin so expand

[@JamesPretty]

I did. I thought it was more stuck in the bushing but nope just rusted in the fifth wheel

[@alaindunkerque59]

[@glennhunter7018]

Good job working on the truck it sure hot here too I swear that bad too make it miserable brother be safe in the hot water I thought about going racing tomorrow, but I think i change my mind you know how hot it gets in the race cars when you get it them and put your seatbelt on and helmet That is pretty hot hot in the cabs and again please be careful in the hot water, brother safe travels on the airplane Captain

[@JamesPretty]

Good beautiful warm morning brother

When will this be a show truck? I can see it getting there

[@JamesPretty]

Not sure. It’s taking a lot of money and time

[@nelsonmattoon150]

Krystal is putting you through it

[@JamesPretty]

she always has.. reluctant to shine but willing to

[@tymovies2869]

Hey James why don't you use the forklift to tune it of

[@JamesPretty]

what do you mean?

[@terryp920]

Don't overdo in that heat!!!!

[@JamesPretty]

its been horrible.. I haven't been able to film enough content to get me thru my next trip.. hope to get some more filmed in the next 2 days.

[@nelsonmattoon150]

Hot here in Texas too

[@edwardwilliams9874]

Wish ol bruce would kick ya down a aluminum fifth wheel for Krystal and would advertis for his channel too. Would shure look nice though

[@JamesPretty]

ive been thinking about one. they are pretty kool

[@madcowmark7129]

You're a better man then me Jimmy.

[@JamesPretty]

Thx brother.

[@OldTruckerDrew]

cat like reflexs ;]

[@JamesPretty]

Hahaha

[@youtubeisawesome2487]

remove those pins and clean the grease off, use anti seeze on them, grease hardens over time, anti seeze will not. the struggle is real, never use a chain to pull on them, very bad idea.

[@JamesPretty]

ya I did consider anti seize but settled on grease. I might just pop them out and switch

Heck yes sir Krystal will look like she belongs under the r.g.n yes sir. Krystal will look good up under anything I think a step deck would be perfect for her just my opinion tho.

[@JamesPretty]

I agree.

[@Grundy_nunley]

You need a big slide hammer

[@JamesPretty]

I have one I didn’t think about it p
