    basic noob trailer plug question

    Hi everyone, I own an older International 4700 chip truck and am in the process of getting it set up properly for towing. The truck still needs some work, including trailer wiring, a brake controller, and a trailer plug installation. Up to this point, I've been loading brush directly into the...

    eastern white pine, lower third yellowing/thinning fast...not sure what it could be?

    Thank you - The tree is located on a private dead end road next to a pond. not sure if that helps anything. I will most likely collect a sample to send to a lab - I will reccomend removing all the dead needles + root collar check to see if planted too deep. + pruning to increase airflow and...

    Fixing old arbortech toolboxes ( L pack style)

    your a legend man thank you - I had no idea and will now look for thinner steel to get the job done. I never welded but if a cheap welder from harbor freight and some temporary steel squares will do the trick I am very interested in learning.

    Fixing old arbortech toolboxes ( L pack style)

    its a 1995 international 4700 with an early version of the 12 or 14 ft arbortech body. I was advised to not go thinner than 1/4 inch on the floor. Any tips from you guys here? the "pee pee corners" :) are rusted out so bad you wont even want to stand on it. I was thinking since I am in the...

    Fixing old arbortech toolboxes ( L pack style)

    thanks guys! The plot thickens anyhow, I may need to get a whole new chip body for it- Initially I was hoping to hire a welder to help me out with the floor being rotted in the chip body. Turns out I underestimated the cost to redo a steel floor I got quoted 3500$ for a new 1/4" steel floor on...

    Fixing old arbortech toolboxes ( L pack style)

    Hi Friends, I did in fact finally get an old chip truck with an old arbortech body on it. The boxes have all kinds of issues with the latches so things are held shut by wire/zipties and its a mess. Anyone know how to find replacement parts for these older toolboxes from early circa early ~90s...

    Postcard mailers with photos, "creepy?"

    I totally agree, I am hesitant. I currently am settling on only doing it for somewhat obvious things related to safety only. (think large dead branches over houses and cars or obviously dead trees). At least this way it seems its coming from a safety/concerned neighbor ..sort of. So far I have...

    Postcard mailers with photos, "creepy?"

    Hi all, still trying to get my first clients now that I own a chip truck etc. I live in a very HCOL area outside Boston. I am surrounded by the 1% top earners who potentially are a bit pretentious and the type whom would not appreciate soliciting even if from a local business etc. (just to give...

    looking at a UNDER CDL 2013 F750 6.7 diesel 120k miles....The truck has a chip body and a mini skid platform. Would a truck like this be able to handle a full load of chips (10-12yards) + chipper + the miniskid on the platform? ~ What do you all think a truck like this should be worth...

I was skeptical as well of the price and 1 photo so am holding off. I still do want a dump trailer to go with whichever truck I purchase though....thanks. Hoping to...
