The pulley is going to be greatly beneficial loading dead stuff for sure. It's certainly heavy one and rated for an ungodly amount of 'pull' weight. I got it off of an old buddys dead wrecker about 30 years ago. Its just been waiting to be put back to work.
That will a strong deck and a great idea to put the pulley in the floor will come in handy for sure well done sir take care hope you two are having a great weekend
Well Zane, there's so many times that pulley would have come in so handy in the past. I've been waiting to put it to use and now's the time !! When I had the steel cable, the Crosby's would always hang up on the end of the trailer. Have to use a pry bar...not any more though. Thanks for the visit buddy.
Good evening Rick. Thanks for the cool comment my friend, and thanks for hanging in there for another one. We will finish this project sooner or later. I promise.
Dang Greg....first snow ? My best winter is one without any at all. LOL I worked outdoors and on rooftop hvac equipment for well over 40 years. I prefer to sweat. Thanks for stopping in once again.
Hello Wendell, I hope all is well! And you have a great Thanksgiving!!! Ps don’t forget to paint that frame ! With all that hard work, it would be a shame for it not to look good as well! Looks like the “Honey Do” list is in full swing!😂😂😂
Glad the Missus didn't find any furniture grade wood in that pile. 🤣🤣🤣 The trailer is going to look really good when you're done. You won't know how to act not having to dodge holes when walking on it or loading equipment on it. 👍👍👍
Hahahaha...no doubt !! If it wasn't for the sheet steel I had on the deck I'd have had some major problems long before. It got to where I was breaking through every time I loaded a tractor and well.....this project just could NOT have been put off any longer. The Missus really likes sawing lumber and just about every oak piece that comes off she want to claim for her 'she shed'....LOL
If you’re like my dad, you’ll save those rusty nuts and cut bolt😂. My dad made me straighten bent nails from projects. When he died I got all those “nails”.
I've got a new deck on one of the other trailers and it's already been soaked down twice with a similar concoction. A buddy borrowed one of the tandem tag trailers and to pay me back bought all new yellow pine and installed it. All I had to do was accept the surprise gift and start the protection program !! It's the 8x14 tag with the 36'' dovetail that's been on other videos.
Watching all that board shuffling, or at least in my mind imagining you doing it with the Missus directing, built up a powerful hungry in me belly! Fortunately I had a plate of Alice’s cookin as I pondered over this boarding video that I found went very well with my dining! I do Thank You both for creating a proper ambiance for my dining pleasure. Now I eagerly await the next boarding video and the drilling activity bolting along. That pulley system is an excellent idea! I think Elon Musk might well app,y this idea to his rockets! Just sayin! Anyway, I hope all is going fine as frogs hair at 44 Headquarters. I still don’t always get notified when you post along with others that I watch. Ones like planting chickens for better eggs, how to do better procrastination activities, fishing trips from your sofa and auto repair made by someone else. All great things to know! Of course my favorite is the 44 experience that I drip, tip and sip to! I’ve had Sam the tree guy here to crawl way up in a white oak tree close to the house that had a huge limb a bit too threatening. Sam is an Amish guy with a nice business and skilled employees for a very reasonable price. He was way up there in the heavens crawling around trimming and all, way beyond my skills. Besides, it’s hard to hold a CuppaJO roped up in a tree! Alice’s bday was on Monday and her son Cris flew up from Savanna Georgia for a few days to be with his Mom! She/we haven’t seen him for 5 years other than on screen phone calls. His wife took care of their four dogs while he was here. I’ll email you a pic. I’ve been making two tables for my sisters church that she’s donating. They are 18”x6’ and I’m making them with Chinese chestnut that a member has donated. It was cut 20 years ago but unlike American chestnut, it is much harder and heavier with a similar grain. The trouble with some boards was they were 7/8” at one end and 11/2” at the other. My planer is 13” and what a pain to even some out. I’ll send some pics when finished. And then an exciting episode was when I backed into my younger sisters boyfriends car in her driveway. I thought the hitch on my truck went under his bumper, it was getting dark but I didn’t see any damage. So home I went. Two days later when I came out of the grocery store I saw my cracked tail light! Somebody ran into me truck! Horrors! I check in the store to see if they had cameras and they did but I had to get the town cop to check it out. He called the house and said they couldn’t find anything! ???? What the Harry! Then Alice said, remember how you ran into Albert’s car in Linda’s driveway? DAH! I called my sister and then Albert. Well he lives in Kancaster but was at a parking garage where he inquired to see if they had cameras! Well guess who was guilty? Well it wound up at a body shop and it cost $1400 for mine! Holy Moly Tractorman44! I checked about a Honda tail light, $150 and the fender was sticking out 1/4”. I almost fixed it myself. Turns out some bracket was busted off and the entire back bumper needed replaced. Alberts car was the same. He has a 2014 Honda CRV. I wrinkled his back fender a bit. Now ain’t that something? DaveyJO the demolition expert! We’ll time for some logs in the stove so I’ll say a Fine as frogs hair weekend and I’ll certainly be toasting, tippin, Sippin your way fer ser! Squeezez Pleezez!
So cool that Alice's son came up for a visit. Five years is a long time. I've not heard of Chinese chestnut. I've had to wrestle big boards that were thick and thin through the planer too. I have some 5 foot long rollers that I bolt to the planer as an outfeed table that helps a lot. I gotta admit I got a good chuckle out of your painfully expensive back up accident. Too bad someone else wasn't the guilty party. LOL I feel for ya. That's a good reason to drive an 85 Ford with a flatbed and home made reinforced 6'' channel iron bumper. LOL. I'm on my second pottaJO already. Its a job staying on top of the comments here and on tictok both. Have a great day and I'm sure those chestnut tables are going to look awesome. Sippin anna tippin and I'll see you later ol buddy.
@@tractorman4461 I’ll be Tippin and Sippin your way through the day as well. And my backing up into Albert’s car has been a good laugh. I have to look up the Quarryville cop and tell him that I found the culprit, me! He’ll get a laugh out of it too. I’ve always been one to do my best to see the good in most everything. You have too that I can see.
It's impossible to know unless you're standing there looking at it, but can you mark the holes from the bottom with a short pencil, then flip the board over to drill? Seems like you might be able to use some of those holes that are already there.
The bad thing would be all the crawling under and out again plus jigging and holding all the bow and twists out of the boards the full length to mark all the holes at once. In 12 - 16 feet, there is a lot of movement needed first this way then that way. I thought of that and quickly opted to jig or clamp the bow out for every set of two holes. Drilling from the top was in my opinion the easiest option. That allowed me to 'chase' the board removing cups and bows leaving reasonably straight boards bolted down. Gotta remember now, I ain't a spring chicken no more. LOL Make sense..?? Hard to explain in print.
@@tractorman4461 Gotcha on the not being a spring chicken. I'm not either but I do well as a keyboard warrior, firmly planted in my recliner, dispensing wisdom I have no intentions of following. Can't wait to see the video and how it goes.
😊😊 U have 2 seal the lumber or else it will still soak up water 💧 😮 and it will rot the wood 🪵 😮 thats why U use water sealer 2 keep the water out thats still alot of work 😮😮 U have 2 cut the trees 🌳 😮 and limb them cut 2 length and bring them 2 the sawmill and still saw then U still have redo the trailer thats rough cut what U used 4 / 2 build a house 🏠 😊 back then or a barn alot of people called that farm grade lumber because that's what U used it 4 U can't go 2 the lumber yard and get it lowes doesn't have white oak lumber only pine and the last time I was there and seen the lumber U had 2 through more than 2 piles 2 get what U needed bowed and twisted or worse most of it what I seen wasnt fit 2 build a dog house out no jokes next time U go see 4 yourself only then U will see 😉 😮 what IM talking about 4 sure U will shake your head and walk away CUZ 😮😮 OMG 11 22 2O24
Yes, the quality of the box store pine is atrocious, isn't it Clarence. Oak is a hard wood to work with, especially 1 1/2'' and thicker. And yes, it'll be treated with the appropriate sealant over and over to make sure it soaks deep into the grain. Gotta keep the moisture out of the cracks and holes for sure. We've used our own sawn oak for trailer decking for many many years. I just replaced oak sideboards on an old dump trailer that's been on it since around 1975. They were splintered and mostly split and broken, but they hung in there good for a long time.
Learned about a wrecker's pulley; clever what all you are doing with that . Enjoyed the conversation during the video.

Project is looking good, wishing you continued good luck.
Thank you my friend for the well wishes. The Missus cracks a mean whip, I tell ya man.
That's an *AWESOME* idea to install the receiver like that! 😀 I'm gunna have to borrow that idea for my gooseneck Wendell 🔧🔩

Looking great 👍👍
Thanks Tony. Had to take a day away so it's still not done, but soon will be...I hope. Have a great weekend my friend.
Another enjoyable video Wendell
Good evening Rick. Thanks for the cool comment my friend, and thanks for hanging in there for another one. We will finish this project sooner or later. I promise.
Looking forward to seeing it done.
We had our 1st snow of the season yesterday here in Michigan😢
Have a Jesus filled day everyone
Greg in Michigan
Dang Greg....first snow ? My best winter is one without any at all. LOL I worked outdoors and on rooftop hvac equipment for well over 40 years. I prefer to sweat. Thanks for stopping in once again.
Don't get me wrong, I don't like cold or snow either.
As a matter of fact, I'm pro. Global warming.😂
coming right along, looking good.
Heck yeah man, the Missus cracks the whip pretty good !! Have a great day my friend.
Here we go!
Good wood for decking I think. I like your ideas on doing this trailer over Wendell.
One thing for sure Reg, it was surely a project that was NEEDED !! Actually needed about 5 years ago or more. LOL. All good things in time I guess.
@@tractorman4461 Yes, I've heard that and I believe it' surely applies here :)
Hello Wendell, I hope all is well! And you have a great Thanksgiving!!!

Good evening Carl. Thanks for watching another one. It'll be done soon then it'll be off to another venture.

Uses motor oil and diesel fuel mixture coats and protects well.
