Thread: My would be $3K oil leak....

Dave, The trailer is a barter deal, I traded my old 8 lug Chevy wheels and tires for use of it. Worked out great, I didn't want to load them anyway. This post has been edited by Pipeline Mechanic : Yesterday, 11:22 AM

Maybe he'll need that set of chevy 8 lugs I have after all . Thanks for the update, it is nice to know I'm not the only one who can't make it out of Montana without blowing a tire on something.

It would take a couple of hydralic jacks to put in place. And probably not have a sticker on the top bar. And my buddy has the same one on his truck.

Funny you mention that jack, we had an old one on the farm that you could move loaded freight cars with but I bought one recently and the thing bent like a pretzel when I tried to jack a post out of the ground with it! Everything is made overseas now and steel might as well come stamped with Toyo Rubber Company. -------------------- Today is just the tomorrow you worried about yesterday!

Pipe: If you are coming down I-39 here in IL and need a place to stay overnight we are just 5 mile off 39 about 2 hours S of the WI border. Straight west of the Caseys in Wenona 4.25 miles. Shoot me a PM if this "stop" works out for you. Jeff
