    Loading Chute

    that’s what I thought but it didn’t work. Pin doesn’t have any pressure on it. I thought you would hook the ratchet where you said and crank to relieve pressure then take the piece above the pin off the rod (circled in red) but couldn’t get it to budge.

    Dozer Question

    I didn’t notice a noise. Would catch every once in a while. Then wouldn’t go forward on the left track but would go backwards. Worked fine after that for a while then left track completely locked up.

    Dozer Question

    Yes sir undercarriage, idlers and rollers look good. That is correct just one side locking up. I just spoke with a dozer mechanic. He is going to take a look Saturday. I’ll update on the culprit. Hopefully nothing big

    Dozer Question

    Was doing some clearing today and my left track started locking up. It would lock up going forward then unlock going in reverse. Would work fine for a while then locked up again. Any thoughts? It is a John Deere 850J

    Ford 3.5 ecoboost with 10 spd auto

    I have the exact same truck. Great fuel mileage. But the 3.5L is known for timing chain and phaser issues. You can look it up, very well known problem. Starts with a little rattle on cold start.

    Trailer Floor

    That's what I have in my trailer with 1" spacing in between. Don't have to wash it out but leaves a mess if you stop somewhere.

    stock trailers

    I have a 24' Stoll and a 36' Gooseneck brand, both are good trailers. Stoll is much lighter and pulls great and still heavy enough. Next one i buy will most likely be a Neckover.
