It appears to be pretty simple. From old forum posts, I see that this box is the cause of most 3 on the tree hanging up problems. The parts seems to be in real good shape; no chips, corners are square and the spring intact. My question: How do you tell if it's worn out? Are there some clearance measurements to check on the gates? The adjustement of the linkage rods on the outer arms seems to be very critical=I've found that even an eighth of an inch can make a difference. Is that everyone's experience? Any comments are appreciated. | | | | | Joined: Jun 2004 Posts: 8,597 Riding in the Passing Lane | | Riding in the Passing Lane Joined: Jun 2004 Posts: 8,597 | It's been a long time since I built one but if the corners are worn you can built them up with weld. If the shaft is loose you can run the cover over sand paper to take up the slack.
They say money can't buy happiness. It can buy old Chevy trucks though. Same thing. 1972 Chevy c10 Cheyenne SuperIn the Gallery Forum | | |
