Baller oldjeep Posted November 2, 2018 Baller Share Posted November 2, 2018 Couple of them Just finished this - back half of a 68 C20 that I built a flatbed and stakesides for - need to get rid of a lot of leafs this weekend. And the true winter project - 82 Kawasaki 750 LTD that is going to get a café racer type treatment. Needs all 4 carbs gone through and new tires, but otherwise is pretty decent mechanically. And I have to clean the shop up, it looks like a pit in all those pictures ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller BraceMaker Posted November 2, 2018 Baller Share Posted November 2, 2018 @oldjeep - nice projects - similarly was going to do that to my R80/7 bimmer but decided to leave it be after driving a few cafe'd bikes that hadn't had the tanks modified they just didn't do it for me. I've also been looking for a trailer like that to build a "PTO" drive trailer for use around my property - rear axle with PTO shaft up to the tractor and probably a few layers of belt drive reduction so that the trailer can really crawl its way out when loaded.

Baller Chef23 Posted November 2, 2018 Baller Share Posted November 2, 2018 @BraceMaker if you want to come to Massachuse to pick it up I have an old pop up camper you could convert. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller oldjeep Posted November 2, 2018 Baller Share Posted November 2, 2018 @Bracemaker - that sounds like it would be fairly easy to do with a chopped off 3/4 or 1 ton pickup. The one I started with cost me $100 on craigslist. Had an 8ft bed on it, but it was junk. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller Jetsetr Posted November 2, 2018 Baller Share Posted November 2, 2018 Building a 36 ft toy hauler conversion...5500 pound lift in the back, half race car hauler (or my Edge, dirt bikes, snowmobiles etc) half living quarters. Going on my Kenworth T-600 chassis. Adding 17 feet of frame, moving the drive axle back 12 feet and adding a 20K tag axle (for more braking power). 4th (and last) one I’ve built...

Baller BraceMaker Posted November 2, 2018 Baller Share Posted November 2, 2018 @Chef23 need an axle w diff, pop up campers are just really low capacity axles. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baller Jetsetr Posted November 2, 2018 Baller Share Posted November 2, 2018 Here’s one with the body off...not too many people get to see it like this... Have the old motorhome body off my T-600 now, waiting on the tag axle and frame to arrive. Have the interior of the new body laid out, but it will probably change...

Administrators Horton Posted November 3, 2018 Author Administrators Share Posted November 3, 2018 You guys make fun but I always use fresh stainless as soon as I get a tiny bit of corrosion. Plenty of skis came through my workshop so having a thorough and complete collection of Hardware is important.

Baller oldjeep Posted November 3, 2018 Baller Share Posted November 3, 2018 If you are getting corrosion with stainless then you need a better grade of stainless hardware. Look into 316 graded ss hardware. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Horton Posted November 3, 2018 Author Administrators Share Posted November 3, 2018 @oldjeep idk - I use the local nut and bolt store. I don't think it is crap stainless.

Baller Orlando76 Posted November 4, 2018 Baller Share Posted November 4, 2018 I sent my 93 Ramlin trailer off to Ramlin for a full rebuild and modification. Paint trailer to match boat. That was the morning before my accident. In the meantime I was supposed to finish up some minor repairs and put removable platform brackets on my ‘76 Ski Nautique so I could get both boats in my garage by Dec 1. Thanks to my bum leg this has been put off even longer than I already have. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller oldjeep Posted April 10, 2019 Baller Share Posted April 10, 2019 Since it decided to snow today, it seemed like a good day to start putting new tires on the trailer. Old ones were 7 year old c rated, upgraded to d rated. Only changed 2 of them, the 2 by the wall will need to wait until the snow goes away.

Baller oldjeep Posted April 29, 2019 Baller Share Posted April 29, 2019 The other winter project is pretty much done. Tank needs to be repainted at some point, and I'm waiting on a couple of new brake lines after a front brake failure/lockup on the test ride.

Baller jhughes Posted April 29, 2019 Baller Share Posted April 29, 2019 Swapped out the motor on the M5 for another used motor. Old motor was developing some valve float on one cylinder at higher RPMs w/misfires and for now it's far more economical to put another motor in then to rebuild it (a good rebuild on these is about $18K). Plus I now have 2 motors. This was quite the project but it'll keep this old girl on the road. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller eleeski Posted April 29, 2019 Baller Share Posted April 29, 2019 @jhughes Where'd you find the old motor? Was it a perfect match? How much? Run well now? Does it have an e-controls computer so it could work with ZO? Looks like a fun project. Eric Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ToddF Posted April 30, 2019 Share Posted April 30, 2019 newest drop/jump to the left of the ramp is a 18-20 sage brush gap jump that I didn't think I would do to many times so I build a secondary way around Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
