Re: Dumptruck Dolly

I am getting back to Dolly...I won’t get into why the delay. Here is a pic of the 3 trucks that currently are insured. I’ve been driving the car hauler and Dolly quite often this spring. Included is a pic of Dolly heading east on Hwy 169 between Tower and Ely Mn.

Re: Dumptruck Dolly

Removing old bushings...grinder with a cut off wheel worked well in the space available at the eyelet. I folded an edge over, and drove it out with a 3 lb hammer and chisel...wasn’t the worst job ever.

Re: Dumptruck Dolly

After pressing out the last bushing, I put the 2 piece rubber bushings in using liquid soap and let them sit overnight. Otherwise they kept popping out trying to rush the placement of the steel sleeve.
