@@jamesberggren9029 wrong. If this trailer was a spread axle it would actually be able to haul LESS than it can as a closed tandem. If this trailer was a spread with would worse in literally every single way.

[@danielpullum1907]

If that engine came out of the 773 (60t capacity-used to be 50t) it would be a 3408 and a few pounds heavier the "5 or 6" thousand pounds. Yo Ho HO, It has a "C-12" or some other number classification. They started all the "C" stuff about the time I retired, so I don't know those numbers.. That truck was built in the Decatur, IL CAT plant where I spent 33 exciting years doin lots of stuff. I supervised the paint line for two yrs back in 1978. We would paint some 15-19 units per shift depending on the product mix.

Used to work for a Cat dealer as a crane truck operator. Changed powertrains in a many 773,777,789, D-6 thru D-11, 980's to 992's. We could usually do a engine torque convertor swap in 4 shifts. 1st shift would start, 2nd shift would swap components and replace any hoses and parts. 1st shift would come back and set it back in. 2nd shift would finish sheet metal, topping fluids and running it to test. I would show up to pull it out and set it back in the machine. back in the day we would do several engines a week. Average life of a 3508 engine in a D-11/777 was 5 to 8,000hrs before needing to be rebuilt. That 773B truck has a 3412 engine. Average life span of that engine is 6 to 10,000hrs. That engine brings back memories of unwrapping those cat rebuilds at the job sites. Those are 777 cabs

[@terencemerritt]

That’s seems like low hours for needing a rebuild. I work on a surface mine, and we get double or triple the hours before an engine swap

27:00 - it's always neat seeing the shots with the long arm camera that eliminates itself from the shot, because in this case, you can actually see the camera and stick's shadow.

[@danielsweeney6742]

It funny how it hides the stick but not the shadow.

[@scuss2]

It is a 360 degree vision camera. Go Pro makes one. ARV $900.00. I thought looking at the Driver's front wheel was cool, yup all those spikes are still attached. When Casey uses this camera in the forest as he has done it shows a different perspective with the surrounding landscape.

[@grantdavis5992]

He was using an Insta 360 camera and that inspired me to get one, the R1 model which has two lenses, a 360 and a 180. One of his had a lens get damaged, but I don't know if he got another Insta 360 to replace it. It takes great videos, but they use tons of storage and you need lots of processing power to edit them.

[@robertr4193]

I don't think I would like to have to do all the driving you do Casey but the views do make it tempting for sure. Stay safe and Healthy.

[@chuch541]

Yeah I drove/moved for a living, it’s rad to see the country, it loses its zest rather quickly 😂

[@SlickBubbles]

I would give your trailer a quick paint job just on the outside of the deck frame, the part visible from 50 ft away. I say this only because a trailer that looks old and worn is more likely to attract attention of the ministry of transport, which could increase the number of times you get pulled over for an inspection. The rest looks okay.

[@nextbizzy]

Seems like good advice!

[@--_DJ_--]

Rusty rigs scream "pull me over" a lot louder than painted ones.

[@fergusonhobbyfarm4567]

Agree - thats advice I got too when i was trucking - don’t attract the law with things that can easily be fixed.

[@MWestern-m4g]

That and the empty Beer case screwed to the back of the Headache Rack

[@--_DJ_--]

@fergusonhobbyfarm4567 We used to run an old 80 something f800 single axle dump. It was a dog and just begged for the inspector to nab it, but would pass a safety as long as you didn't pay too much attention to the dump box. (Would have made a decent salter with all the holes in it) I remember getting pulled into the scales and the inspector literally rubbed his hands together as he laid down on his creeper. 15 minutes later he popped out and told me my fuel cap was seeping... that was all he could find. Had it been the day before I'd have been in a bit of a spot. That old Detroit leaked like it was going out of style. I had just washed it down to the Detroit blue the day before.

[@Kentucky4runner]

It’s a lot of fun to be involved with something but not committed sometimes. Thanks for a great episode and a new channel,to watch. Glad the new trailer worked out well, and the family vacation still happened!

[@bobbyt2657]

First load for the new trailer is a rather important ... heavy one .. And this is how Casey does his thing ... nice job from Quintin ( another of my subscribed pages)

[@Angry_Midget1]

I'm pretty sure that is one of our old trailers we replaced a few years ago. It has hauled alot of loads in shipyard up here in Washington. I noticed it had a faded HH on the drivers side bang board. That's how we marked our trailers.

[@ahhadon59]

Hauled a load of hay out of Burns, Or. once. After leaving the truck scales in Burns we must have driven another 20 miles out of town on partially paved and partially dirt roads to get to the hay ranch. Wild horses and sagebrush all the way out there really kinda neat. I was so glad when I got back to the scales that I was not overloaded I would've had to take my overload back to the ranch not fun. Took the load to a dairy in San Deigo County. Great adventure.

Here in the Midwest, running your straps outside the rub rail is no problem. I think cutting off that round bar and putting flat stock so that you can loop your straps around it. Like all the other steel trailers have would be a good idea. Remember to mount your toolbox high enough that it's not a ground clearance problem but low enough that it's not a sliding winch problem.😂

Do you ever find your straps vibrating? I know a lot of truckers will put a half twist in the strap on either side of the load to reduce any vibration/ frequency.

And a gentle half- twist won't compromise the strap. Can't recall who tested it
