The twin hooks on the front are the key. Unbolt those two and bolt on a good 2" square box tubing cross bar, schedule 40 or better. Then mount standard plow frame receiver on this cross bar. There is adequate 12VDC power, right? Not sure we are going to have a 48 volt plow rig for a while. Add a...

So if I install with a shim, 9” tall at the cab end, to clear the sides, can I make a hydraulic height adjustment front to back to take out most of the pitch? It supposedly has more than 9” of travel.

The Airstream camper is 72" long before the overhang over the cab. The height to the overhang is 48" The extra length can hang out over the rear. With the tailgate down it should be about right. The problem is the height of the bed section is 20" before the flare out on the sides. This means...

Length by width are all right for hauling plywood. What I need to know is the height of the sidewalls both at the back and at the front. I have access to a slide in camper, stainless steel, but need to know if it fits in the vault.

A CAD drawing, even in pdf form, would be appropriate about now. It would be a relatively simple to produce the drawing to scale. That way we could get those dimensions that no one seems to know, such as the height of the sideboard at each point along the length of the vault. Someone loan me a...

Do we know the actual dimensions of the vault? Length and width, yes, but what about the height of the sidewalls? I have a chance to buy a slide-in camper, but it has only 20” height before the flare out. Will that fit at the cab end of the vault? The slide-in camper is stainless steel and...

I am thinking of purchasing a classic slide in camper, stainless steel, of course. It has a 50” wide base, 89” long, and 20” tall. It projects 47” forward from the front at a height of 47”. Anyone know if this would fit in the vault?

It all depends on how much those seats recline.

Still no logo on the hood ornament. How will they ever know what it is?

I am not worried about those many reservation holders ahead of me. I always thought you should not buy a machine until the serial number is at least bigger than the number of component parts.

Where is my hood ornament? Got to have that.

Not needed. It is really a very modest size machine. Just to save my back when I am certifying septic systems. I think it is the weight of the tow vehicle that determines commercial license requirements. I have a truck that is rated as 10,000 pounds so I do not need a Class 2 license. If it was...

I did a magnet test on a sample of 305 stainless steel I bought from McMaster. Maybe similar to the 30x stainless steel of the CT. Cost of around $7 if anyone wants to do ballistic tests or whatever. But the conclusion is that magnets really do not care for this metal. No attraction, so...

I obtained a piece of 305 stainless steel from McMaster. 6” square for about $6.50. I wanted an answer to my question about if magnetic signs might still work on the CT. The answer is that nope, no ferromagnetic activity at all. Do you think this might be indicative of 30x?

I am guessing the columns are 40 feet apart, being the longest steel beams easy to transport. Yes?

Sense of scale: how far apart are the column supports?

Given the massive size of the CT and my pulling a backhoe nearly every day, I will need a DOT number on the truck. That is lettering with a dozen alpha-numeric characters on each side, about 4” tall. So does paint stick? I think magnets do not. Decals, vinyl lettering, a wrap, what is the best...

I drive a big honking F350 pulling a backhoe, and a diesel yellow bug for fun.

Not sure if the right category, but I want to ask about driving the truck. My current habits might seem strange to some. I try to not use the brake, ever. I am only partly successful. Using the brake is a sign of defeat. All that energy to gain momentum and you just put it into waste heat in a...

Tesla.com advertises only the one Wall Charger. It does not list it as being compatible with the CT. Should I wait until the Wall Charger is updated or is it a safe buy now? I have a 150 foot run to the CT garage and will need some summer months to get the electrical system in place. Always...
