![Lowboy Trailer Transformation: From Rust to Robust! [EP3]](/img/tr.png)
I am a independent truck and equipment repair shop owner down here in the northwest. I’ve rebuilt several trailers with that same suspension. Those are Hendrickson HT230 low slung suspension. Flat decks use a over slung beam and lowbeds run the underslung beams. The trunions and tool are readily available from Hendrickson. It will have 4707 brake shoes and KIC drum number 60001-018. 46305 seals if you are using the drive in or 46300 if you are using the push in seals. Hopefully you can find a set of S cams that long that have the thin s to run the 4707 shoes on. If not you will need to run 4515 shoes. They looked to be double anchor pin brake spiders on those axles.
Thanks for sharing your knowledge!
Makes me happy when I see people sharing valuable knowledge like this. As a soon to be owner operator I appreciate people like you
You need a needler scaler attachment for your air hammer.
One of my favorite tools.
Literally came here to say the same.
Also, I bet a torque multiplier would've helped you get those lugs off. They were no doubt overtightened, but I guarantee it would've helped to try one.
Your kitty is adorable BTW 👍
I’ve always called it a rust rattler. But sounds like the same thing has a dozen or so hardened pins wokes the same as an air hammer
I came here to say the same thing. Still would have been labor intensive but it probably beats a hammer
Gotta have your ears on running the big milwaukee on those wheels 🙏
The jackstand under the ratchet head is BRILLIANT. Could've used that idea many times...
I used to rebuild those Henderson axles at a previous job. All you really need that you're not going to find at your local truck and trailer parts house is the bushing and pivot collars. There's a special tool from Henderson to press them out and in. I found it was easier to burn out the old bushing, that tool will never press them out when they're that old and corroded.
You look like you belong in a Mad Max film after chipping off that rust! 23:25
That or on stage singing. I absolutely lost it after seeing that.
Lol like Charlize Theron you mean 😂
I love to see Vince in videos, the guy is an absolute artist welding, but never hesitates to get his hands dirty doing other jobs. 👍🏻
Its funny watching him wail on that deck with the large shillelagh and a dart hanging oot his mouth
I have always had the disease of taking something broken and discarded and reviving it.The problem is making sure the time and money spent making it new is worth the investment. Looks like you have a worthy project here.
Heavy iron ...bulldozers and track loaders were my best candidates.
that's not a disease that's called intelligence
My " DISEASE " is trying to make things better that are not broken, LOL.
Some times it works out, some times not so much & it cost's me.
This vid is the epitome of "If Your Not Filthy, You're Not Rich"!
Nice work!
lol 30:55 - around here, it's if you see the old guy on the riding mower that we know he has a DUI
Never realized how much deeper that center beams are. Like you said makes sense why they get stuck all the time.
Not all of them are like that, our trailer is the same height inside and out, some are even opposite of that with the center rails higher on the top side. Works great for big, high clearance equipment, not so well for anything too narrow or low.
Trade off for a flat deck. Gotta have a tall beam to not bend in half.
@@averyw.3939 Probably not the same tonnage.
@@aserta Our trailer is a 60 ton
These trailers have a poor resale value. This is probably one of the reasons why. Anything that is going to get you in a wrestling match with a train is a bad idea. Take care.
The needle scalers work amazing if you buy the big ones. The ones on air hammers and other adapters just don't have the violence. We use the all the time to de-scale transit bus axles.
Yep. There's needle scalers and then there's NEEDLE scalers. If you don't know and buy the simple, cheapie ones, you'll always think they're no good. Get the right, built for purpose one and you'll experience the real deal and jittery hands after.
Yep a good needle scaler will dimple tool steel to look like cast lol.
I think the nuts were hard to remove because they were run on futher than normal because the drums weren't on the axle and prob run into junk threads.
Nailed it
13:23 Adapters absolutely kill your torque wrenches abilities! Also the bigger socket has more mass and therefore more energy transferred to the lugs. They even make some sockets with additional material mass added to the sides, just for the inertia gain they provide. 👍🛠️🔥🔧💪⚒️
Really starting to look good. When working with rusted nuts. 10-15 seconds with a torch does wonders. Also, we use needle air scalers instead of air chisels.
I picked up a scaler, but the chisel worked better. The chisel took the entire scale off, where the needle scaler seemed to take layers off one by one. Felt much better on the hands though
@@DGHD Rich, was that the LARGE scaler? I've seen SASE, which are two handed, to use their large one efficiently.
Best wishes from Northern Manitoba.
Don't use torches, buy an induction nut heater. Faster, simpler, less gas consumed. Best investment you can make if you see more than 30 rusty nuts per month.
Also, don't skimp on it, buy the quality units. Buy once, cry once.
@@asertayou can make your own with some rod and battery
If Phil isn't the coolest neighbor ever then idk who is. . . . Of course he has a big wheel loader that you can just go borrow at random.
Rich, l can't believe how straight this old trailer is, aside from the top edges being bent down from dumb loading? Or not? All the I-beams are like new! You have your self a really great trailer, new brakes, air bags, air lines & tanks, bearings and well? You have a crap load of sanding and painting! This thing is going to shine! One awesome looker! Are you painting the frame the same colour as the cab-over?
Wishing you continued great luck with the trailer!
✌🏻🤘🌦 🇨🇦. ☕️⏳️. 🍁- ONTARIO 🐈 meow. 9 kittens last week, can't wait 🤗. Want some?
For as much rusty stuff you bring back to life, a needle scaler would be handy.
That was what we call a dirt dobber here in Louisiana. That is what makes those dirt houses that stop ups air lines lol.
There aren't many of us that can see the potential it what others think is scrap. It's a lot of work....but the satisfaction and the end result is well worth the effort
29:28 yellow-legged mud dauber AKA Sceliphron caementarium, caused the crash of an airplane once, otherwise harmless if you're not finding them inside the intake of your engine or some weep hole necessary for engine functions.
Otherwise beneficial if you dislike spiders. They anesthetize spiders for the dauber larva to feed on…
You NEED a needle scaler gun for getting that scale and crud off. That’s a big and awkward project but going to be so worthwhile to have your own trailer.
Have you considered making a air receiver for the big rattle guns?
Get a little tank, hook it to the end of you long airline from the compressor, then add a 3' section of 5/8 or 3/4" air line to the tool.
The short, large, line allows the tool to make use of as much air as it can, without the flow restriction of a long air line. Makes it easier to crack those rusted lugs.
I'm a trailer mechanic, had a golf cart hauler made by "sun valley trailers". It was an old ride well suspension but the brake setup was weird and nobody we called could send us the right part. I found a casting number on a drum and looked it up on Google and napa ended up having the drums and shoes. It sat in our yard for about a year until I finally decided to just look into it.
Kind of the same deal, working on anything old Ford/GMC Medium duty with air over hydraulic brake system. There are still pieces of equipment running around with that old stuff still on it. There's still a couple of companies that make brand new backing plate assemblies with new wheel cylinders and shoes as a whole kit for them.
Variety is the spice of life.
Knowing you Rich you will have that trailer looking better than new once your finished.
Best part is Vince smoking a dart
A magnetic broom is a shop/work yard is a must
Words you and I often hear. "I would never do what you do."
One other thing. It is mind-numbing work, no doubt. Yet if you gave the job to one with a numb mind. You would then start using your mind to solve all the problems they somehow created. Good stuff.
The most disappointing thing about a decking job is if you get violent curls in the wood both sideways and lengthwise when it dries. Take care.
As a retired OTR driver for 46 years. I'm partial to this channel. But I love them both. Waiting for more on the lowboy.
When it's time to find old nails and other bits of metal after tearing something down, stick some decent size magnets on a rake and just rake the area a few times. Tends to work like a charm.
19:48 😂😂😂 I thought Luigi from Cars had just snuck onto the set there for a minute...
Flashback...😂😂😂
NEW SUB HERE!!
Im a Texas Heavyhauler! I like your content and glade I find your channel!
I'm a diesel mechanic for a living. We service all our own stuff. I feel your struggle with rust and stuck lugnuts and bolts. Good luck
Life is so much easier with access to heavy equipment 👍
It works better with the 3/4 because the extension is taking torque away from the lug nut
@ 14:00 Pretty sure you were actually losing a lot of impact energy using your 1" to 3/4" adapter. A socket directly on the anvil of an impact is always more efficient / powerful.
Would be a good @TorqueTestChannel video!
@@axlapointe Pretty sure they already tested it.
You need to get a turbo tip for your preasure washer. They make such a huge difference on hard to clean stuff. It's basically the small tip(red) that spins super fast and makes a cone of super high pressure water. It's the only way we can clean our crab pots before painting them. It will take a lot of rust off also.
love the updates
Can’t wait to see the next episode on this. Great video as always.
Thanks for sharing.
Now you know what it's like to be a powdo scrape operator in the summer you sweat dust-collecting to you end of the day you're a mud kegger and hoping the water truck comes by they give you a spray...
I went for a swim in the pond. Felt great
Worth doing and the video was worth waiting for. Getting ready to watch paint dry. Exciting.
all I could think of during the lug nut removal was torque test channels testing of the hot rod impacts 😂😂
I’m waiting to see how the set up works . Duals , hubs , brake pots ., suspension . On and on . The damn rust does a job especially if there’s salt in the mix .
Awesome video Rich, thanks for sharing.
Awesome video Rich - thats the way to roll, rebuild.
It's great to see things brought back to life.
Awesome work, looking forward to the finished trailer all shiny arsed 🇬🇧
You looked like the joker with all that around your eyes! Lol. Good job fighting through it all!
got a big nightmare of a project for tonight into this weekend and just sat down and watched a few of your vids they are always motivating thanks for keeping me motivated! always helps to see someone else work hard for what some people just buy🤘
Been waiting for this episode since you picked the trailer up! Great video.
I always get the urge to work on my stuff after watching your videos. Thanks and good luck with the paint. Hope it goes easy
Another minted video Rich, thanks. And happy belated Canada day. July 1st. All the best.
Brilliant video thank you very much❤👀👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
Time for some major sandblasting for a good painting surface.
Brilliant people❤️👀👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
Hey it's C&C Dustless! Guy *really* likes using the Glaaaasssssss! 😁
Hard work👏
Vince seems awesome chill dude with stories to tell.
Great job, this is going to turn out pretty nice.
Huge respect for the work you do for a good paint job.
A good paint job is an absolute requirement for a lowboy. Particularly underneath where you can’t see. This one has just been caught in time. Most factory paint on lowboys is poor quality, and underneath will have disappeared in several years. This includes a number of companies that have high opinions of themselves. Some kind of protective finish on the underside of floor boards will also prolong trailer life. Take care.
Very nice work getting that trailer back up to snuff and road ready just a bunch of hard work to make it happen!
Awesome job, rebuilding and making stuff😅
Looks like the man for the job
Lovely looking truck❤️👀👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
Hi Rich, to help speed up the rust scale removal get yourself a needle gun, I used them in heavy marine refinishing and they blast through everything that's not solid steel.
i've been waiting on this quite a while 😎
Thanks for video, good luck
That 1" Milwaukee is all talk but no bite
Cool to watch videos.
Awsome job you do all the time 👌🤘🌹
Can't wait for the next video 🎉
Cool!
The fittings to the fifth wheel is so different compere to sweden where we have Swan neck low boy trailers allmost every where.
Scott from 'Bus grease monkey' uses a torque multiplier tool to get stuck/rusted/ way overtorqued wheel nuts lose. It has gears in it. It works slow but with incredibly high torque. The nuts/studs/bolts either come lose or they snap off. No inbetween.
I really like that project my friend, i create 3D models and see these under and inside the trailer was pretty good for me as references. And definitely you take an old project and bring back to life yourself give huge pleasure, well done my friend. Greetings Tiago Witt London -ON
When removing floor decking I would use a skill saw in the middle of the cross members, smash the wood down and off, then hammer the studs off. Some grinding of the studs required but it went fast.
Didn't realize you were a Chainsaw artist
I used to do chainsaw carvings when I was younger. Dolphins were the best sellers and I made good money at it. I did a couple fairs. Fun, but I don't have the time anymore
Trailer is looking really really good ❤️👀👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
I can't wait to see this panted!!
Sometimes those jobs are great, no metal input, little monetary input (i the scheme of things). Big satisfaction with a completed project
Nice Queen.
Something I've noticed about those Milwaukee electric inch impacts is, if there's even slightly too much play in the setup -- whether a worn out socket, or you have an adapter in like you did to start with -- they **really** struggle. I think they're not hitting *as* hard per blow but they're hitting faster, whereas the old (clapped out 😄) air-gun is hitting slower but harder each time; so the air-gun can power through that loss with a loose-fitting socket, but the electric gun is losing relatively more of its hit-force.
One thing's for sure about both options: Damn they're heavy when you're swinging 'em around all day.
I ran into a similar wheel nut issue recently, ended up getting one of those 70:1 reduction wheel nut breakers. Worked up a heck of a sweat, but ended up getting them all off.
23:20 looks like you are ready for the apocalypse, perhaps the MAD kind 🤔😆
You're a good man yeah the cats snitched on you you're a good guy yeah he told me so you know your cat's working for me now❤
Like you said neighbors got to love it early fourth-of-july A...
Great video. A ton of work! I thought you had a DUI!
An induction heater "thingi" for bolts might be a nice addition to your workshop. Although i dont know how affordable those things are.
Nice work on the trailer, excited for upcoming progress.
couple hundred
@@first_last01 Worth even at 500. If you math out the gas used, the potential damage when you work more delicate stuff, worth ever penny. I bought one for 240 euros and it's the most bang for the buck i've had. I go in, zap the coil on, click it, nut goes orange, let it cool, and they come off. In 3 years of using mine, i've had maybe 4 nuts that were stubborn to the treatment and during the pandemic i pretty much spent all that free time sorting out all my junk, cleaned the entire back part of my shop, so i took off rusty nuts galore.
It'll be bout a thousand
28:39 ya need a needler Ritch it's a $15 attachment & it'll make your life 1000% easier especially removing rust and scale
Figure out if you have a q+ cam or a standard q. If you can fit a 1 1/8 wrench in the center of the cam then it’s q+. standard q is 4515 part number and q+ is 4707 you can use 1601B brake drums with both shoes
Quite possibly the best looking picture of you yet at 23:30 🤣🤣🤣 like a Raccoon
Lookin skookum, shell chooch again.
Nice
inspector kitty got my like.
Outer frame rail clearance helps when passing over curbs.
Holy Moley, a forest of rotten wood and a bridge of rust contained in a football field sized lowboy. Can't wait for the powder coat!
PB Blaster😊
A suggestion that might save you some time, effort and headaches in the future dealing with old rusted bolts and nuts is a induction bolt removal tool. Amazon got a bunch. I don't own one but I have seen one used and was very impressed. Beats a cutting torch in most instances, plus no open flames, no compressed gas just a 110v electrical source.
👍👍👍. Breaking out the chainsaw now thinking
