When aluminum is in contact with steel, the aluminum will corrode badly. There was sealant around the steel subframe to aluminum frame juncture, but you removed it. It is important to reseal those crevices in order to keep the water out.
I like the fact that you get on, fix the trailer and use it in the same video. Really enjoyed that, some channels would have spread that out over a month 🎉
Not sure if you checked it or not, but get up under the trailer and take a good look inside the king pin plate for rot holes. That's one of the number one reasons those aluminum flatbeds get junked.
It's good giving the younger guys work like that. It really helps to change their lives and keep them hungry for more success, rather than doing ignorant crimes.

When you’re hauling hay the restrictions are don’t hit the power lines or overpasses. It falls under the “loose fader” rules. So here in Ontario we keep it under 15’ or so and aim for 10’ wide or less if you can.
Sounds like down in Kansas. Hauling round bales on a flat deck, you get to right at what you're talking about. 14.5 high, 10 wide. Which, they give us that by law hauling hay.
Out here in ny! These guys got huge old box trucks with the sides cut off and form the hay just like a box huge heavy loads 100% overloaded flying down the roads at early hours in the am when roads are dark! Makes me glad im not the one driving or working for that boss! Only one guy who got his act together has all the enclosed trailers that he must drop off at people famrs and pick them up in the winter!
Hey Rich if your trailer is setup for it, you should swap sides for your tie downs. If you ever have to tighten your load on the side of the road your not in traffic doing it. Just a little safety tip for ya! Happy Truckin Buddy!
Brushing black Tremclad is by far the best quick and dirty uncoating. Best part is when its looking a little rusty again hit it with a wire brush quick or just brush more on lol
Canadian Tire's house brand "Armor Coat" rust paint is also excellent. It's made by Rustoleum (the same company as Tremclad), but is cheaper despite being just as good or better.
I commend your attention to Safety first, many trucking firms don't making their rigs deadly bombs of sorts. Here in the states our DOTs try to catch as many bad rigs as possible but there's no way to find/stop them all. I've only repaired, rebuilt up to five tons but the brakes are always the first thing I do on all vehicles. Great videos & thanks for sharing them with all of us
I get everyone bemoans spool gun. When it's set up correctly in the hands of a skilled operator it's a strong and economical way of fabrication. However, as most of us know: That is not always the case. The cost of TIGing a trailer like that would be pretty astronomical.
When I saw the suspension parts of the rear axle I though "Oh it looks in decent shape, wait no, that's Ontario decent. Its shit." Then I saw the plate and realized why it looked so familiar. We're truly blessed by the rust gods.
Awesome to see - grandpa drove for PIE for 40 years. Be safe with those strapped/chained loads...Close family friend was ended when a broken chain let irrigation pipes go.
Man that is one sharp KW. I really enjoyed that build it was awesome!!! So cool seeing the Ole girl back to work on the farm is super awesome!! As always love the content never disappointing. Can't wait to see the next video. Keep up the great work and content.
I'm not sure if you'll have anybody up there that does it but try to find someone to blow corn cob on the trailer it's kinda like a sand blaster it does a real nice job of cleaning aluminum
Rich, you and Phil are hilarious. Glad you got the trailer up and running!! Great addition to your "Fleet". Another wonderful video from UP NORTH! Hahahaha. (Since I'm on the Gulf of Mexico)
As a guy that pulls a stepdeck, and is restoring a 359 Pete. I'm happy to see as much content like this as possible, but then again I'm not picky with anything you post.
I passed my test about three months ago for Class 2 in Scotland, that means I can drive rigid lorries, I am a supervisor for our local council so every time I get a chance to drive a bin lorry or a salt gritter or hook lift I'm off, they are so much fun and the more gears the better. 🤪
Hi from uk Rich👋👍 got job getting the trailer to safe good clean standard and on the road again 👌 Vince did a fab job on the welding 👍 and love the drive by's too them prison gate light stacks look awesome with the exhaust stacks in motion shots 👌 congrats again yo uou getting qualified as a operator 👍 keep up the amazing content you do, thanks for your time be safe and see you soon 👍👋
I have never liked the spool guns either. I used a push pull gun on a miller machine that was dedicated for aluminum once you sat the wire speed on the gun you could lay down some weld on 1/8 plate with a mig gun. It would automatically adjust your voltage for you. Very cool.
Looks like Rich has found his dream job and he didn't even know he wanted to be a trucker. A lot of guys out there would love to be in that position; your own truck, bought and paid for. She looks great, sounds fantastic and there's a whole lot of money out there, just waiting to be made.👍😁
Should look into abrasive or nonabrasive Cup Brush, Nylon Filaments like Al's Liner Abrasive 180 Grit Nylon Bristle Cup Brush - 6 Inch - Safe for Use on Metal, Wood, Aluminum and Plastic Surfaces (TOOR6) or Nonabrasive 6" Cup Brush, Nylon Filament, 5/8"-11 Thread
Great to see the truck working, the trailer is looking good, its amazing what some people dispose of equipment when some TLC can extend its life, always look forward to your videos.
Aluminum work fatigues, old trailers like that have none stop maintenance requirements and simply can’t handle the same loads they did new particularly things like coils that can be 60 thousand pounds in a 4’ section. Limited use for loads that’s have a even weight distribution such as the bails in the video are a great use for old trailers that just don’t have a place in the general freight sector. There are more and more places that won’t even load trailers that are over 10 years old, I’ve even been turned down because they said my truck was to old.
Those big coach steer tires look good on the trailer. They might even be a little taller than your drive tires. My VNL was built with those big bolognies on the steer axle and 275 tires on the drive. Looked like it skipped leg day!
Minimum wage, %50 of welders are on parole and get paid Minimum wage. Well when I took some automotive classes at the local community College which was next to the welder classes. Half the welders were on parole
Awesome build mate love it. Wasn’t sure about the colours to start with but it looks awesome. Really cool to see someone build A a Kenworth B one that’s quite rare C you actually saw the build through and D it’s got a Cat motor. Only thing that I would probably change is polish the tanks but apart from that truck is awesome 👍
The clip of the trailer dragging the rear tires makes me nostalgic, I worked with my dad's friend doing driveways when I was in high school, the one guy he worked with had a 53' dump trailer but the lift axle wouldn't lift and the air line was broken so the brakes wouldn't release, he drug it across town like that to finish a job 😆 the flat spots were down to the wires when he got there
You have taught me an extremely valuable lesson. I can't finish and don't even want to try at least half the projects/fixing old crap that I thought I should do as I find said crap for sale. ;-)
Awesome video, As a townie who got to spend some good times on peoples farms inlc neighbors the smells is something that has made my dream not to have a house in town but have a farm and work for a living rather than work just to live
That's a small load 😅🤏 4 in height 3 in width and the last 12 langs halfway ower the edge 😂 49 tons last trip of the day 😂 that was exciting getting home to the farm 😅 😂😅
Brings back memories of when I used to run the lower 48 and Canada in a Freight liner before there was a CDL required by the DMV used to pull a 48foot refer and haul alot of loads of swinging beef from Amarillo TX to Chicago and flat bed machines up and down the east coast of U.S.A. almost want to get back into it.
Couple products I use to use on my old mans fleet when we were trucking were from Johnny rag in thorold not far from you. The first one is called Aluma bright and Johnny rag touch less vehicle wash the both of them I would apply with a garden sprayer and pressure wash off and the nice thing with doing it yourself is you can mix the aluma bright heavy and clean that trailer right up
Beautiful Kenworth and the aluminum trailer is only going to look good for a little while but all of the work was worth it . Now get out there and make some money . Great video Rich .
We had a 5000 psi pressure washer that had a abrasive siphon feed attachment that worked great, kinda like sand blasting without the toxic dust, you can use any abrasive, not just sand, that may have worked good on the underside of the trailer, I did my F600 ramp truck, it worked great
I can help you save those nice air tanks.. Simple thing here... Drain the air tanks when you leave it sit for any long periods.. It helps keep moisture out, preventing interior rust..
a good candidate to sandblast with a lite media - glass beads or walnut shells and baking soda and then spray it right after blasting with commercial epoxy like they use on bridges - naptha based
Good truckin driver 👌 Just some pointers, straps gotta go inside the rub rail. Also if you like having all of your teeth please please please invest in an actual strap binder bar. Theyre made specifically so they're less likely to slip out while you're cranking on em. Other than that love the vids brother!
One of the best things I’ve found for the anchor pins(brake pins) is heat and a heavy duty ball joint press. Most the time they will come out with just the ball joint press
If you are doing a lot of those restorations, invest in a dry ice blaster or soda blaster, or even a rust/gunk laser cleaner. Dry ice blaster cleans well and doesn't leave the area with sand everywhere like the sand/soda blaster. But i think the soda blaster cleans better than the dry ice blaster. You can thank me later...

That truck is sexy sounding and is easy on the eyes!
100% These videos are super interesting
Me too. I subbed for all the farm equipment repair and heavy duty
"We're gonna support someone local first" Rich...those words are friggin gold these days. That's the attitude I wish more people had.

didnt seem like it worked out though, they never showed any of the acid wash process, no end result, clearly didnt go as planned
@@justinwatch good one. Lol
Having shiny aluminum on your truck/trailer is a job in itself!!!
Well worth it!
I love how you make financially realistic videos, showing people craftsmanship can be valued over well, value
Well said. Couldn’t agree more. You and Derek from ViceGripGarage both are great examples for all us gearheads
I dont think i would've spent $700 cleaning the trailer
Love seeing a bit of Kevin’s operation. I help out a friend doing small square bales and there’s nothing like the smell of a fresh cut hay field.
Nuthin quite like filling your lungs with dust
I love the smell of alfalfa. Unfortunately I'm extremely allergic to it.
C'mon Rich, three high and three on the back or you're wasting diesel. Nice trailer, love that truck.
Best regards from Indiana, USA.
Rich gets a bit sooky when its favor time... loading that trailer like theres a pickup in the front pulling it
When aluminum is in contact with steel, the aluminum will corrode badly. There was sealant around the steel subframe to aluminum frame juncture, but you removed it. It is important to reseal those crevices in order to keep the water out.
I like the fact that you get on, fix the trailer and use it in the same video. Really enjoyed that, some channels would have spread that out over a month 🎉
A hat tip to you for always supporting your fellow local businesses whenever you can.
Need to put the sealant back around the suspension. The sealant keeps salt and crude from getting between the steel and aluminum.
Not sure if you checked it or not, but get up under the trailer and take a good look inside the king pin plate for rot holes. That's one of the number one reasons those aluminum flatbeds get junked.
It's good giving the younger guys work like that. It really helps to change their lives and keep them hungry for more success, rather than doing ignorant crimes.

ive done this alot growing up and im 35 and i just want to burn the world. this does nothing

I've got to say, this truck and trailer combo makes moving dead grass around look absolutely heroic.
I love it! She's a beauty but still hauls just fine. It's great that both Rich and the truck get to do useful work and exercise those skills!
Great video 👍. Kudos to you for working with the local and younger generations in your area. 👏. The trailer looks like it works out for you. Nice job
100%
23:45 that B roll IS SO GOOD AND MUSIC IS SUCH A VIBE
Man as someone who wants to get into the trucking industry. Man It's really cool and entertaining/interesting watching you restore this trailer. 👏

I use new glad hands with screens, keep the mud daubers out. And new hoses to the brake cans.
I can't even fathom how expensive it would be to have someone tig weld the entire assembly of the trailer.
That's why they use MIG and rivets

I'd do both axles at the same time spindles out then it's all new and "worry" free. Especially Check the "coil package"
For hidden damage.
brings back memories crawling around under the trailers. love the old green A car in the background.

Pretty amazing guy. Going to put a new engine and trans in his family hauler to show him some love. That will be on the other channel
Another good video Rich. Watching you guy’s reviving old stuff and put it to work is much better than the garbage that’s on tv these days. Next.
Another great video and a bonus part with Kevin!

Looks like an amazing deal! Those wheel ends look amazing for their age too. Not all crusty and flakey
Those are loosest damn bales of hay I thnk I've ever seen. Kevin cracks me up. The sound of that truck hauling a full load makes me smile every time.
Super wet, which is why we only went 2 high. They got wrapped and will turn to silage
The king of bling is your man!!
Awesome video. Reminded me of the days hanging out in the tractor as a kid baling hay.
Look forward to seeing more jobs with the truck and trailer! Looks awesome and great seeing it work too!
I can help you save those nice air tanks..
Simple thing here...
Drain the air tanks when you leave it sit for any long periods.. It helps keep moisture out, preventing interior rust..

Brilliant, loved the video. Good to see the truck going to work.
One of the best things I’ve found for the anchor pins(brake pins) is heat and a heavy duty ball joint press. Most the time they will come out with just the ball joint press
I'm jealous. I love that truck. Good video.
WooWHOO! That’s a fine hay hauling rocket!
If you are doing a lot of those restorations, invest in a dry ice blaster or soda blaster, or even a rust/gunk laser cleaner. Dry ice blaster cleans well and doesn't leave the area with sand everywhere like the sand/soda blaster. But i think the soda blaster cleans better than the dry ice blaster. You can thank me later...
Really enjoyed the content. This is a very interesting and satisfying video.
Loving the videos keep them coming. Only thing I would of done differently. I would of flipped trailer over too work on it
use a ball joint press for the brake pins if you can clear the hub
Any time I've got rusted anchor pins, I use torch to heat up the ears, then an air hammer square in the center of the pin to drive it on through.
Check for corrosion on the frame under the kingpin plate. Common cause of death on those.
Keep on trucking 👍👍👍
