    GKWR??? gross ? weight rating,,trailer

    There is no "GKWR". The rating is "GVWR", which is "Gross Vehicle Weight Rating." You combine this rating with the vehicle that is pulling it (truck), and that is the GCWR. (Gross Combined Vehicle Rating) The GCWR is the number that is used to decide which CDL you need, not the actual weight...

    720 JD

    If it is still original and no one has cobbled with it, it is positive ground.

    6--Volt Generator Conversion To 12 ??

    Yes, it can be converted to 12 volts. I do not know how to do it, but any good generator shop can do it. I think they just change the guts of it. The outside stays the same so the correct police never know unless you tell them. If you do not know fo a local shop, look in Green Magazine and Two...

    Tractor parts never recieved

    Been there, done that! They do not understand that the buyer is just as important as they are. It seems to be, "get the money here as soon as you can". After you do, they can find a million excuses as to why they cannot just do their part of the contract. Based on my experience, you will likely...

    JD Part Identification

    MSD, I have the JD MPI but could locate this part number in there. Where did you get your information? Are these rear weights rare?

    JD Part Identification

    Why was this weight made so different than the other three JD rear weights that will bolt up to an 820/830? Could this be the weight that fits the Rice Special rims so that the other weights can be bolted up?

    M in wisconsin

    It has gotten much tougher to "haul your own stuff" over the past years. CDLs and DOT numbers are just like DUIs, used to be you seldom heard of it. There are so many issues with getting on a public road with a loaded trailer that it is safer to pay a licensed trucker to haul it. If you end up...

    Need CDL to drive a Ford 550 with 30 foot gooseneck?

    One other point to ponder is what happens in the unlikely event that you end up in an accident, even if it not your fault. people are so litigation crazy these days, as soon as they see "weight on a trailer", you could wish you had paid to have it hauled. Life is a risk, but it is not as easy to...

    What's the big deal.... getting a CDL

    I agree, you only have to fill out DOT papers and reports IF you use the CDL that way that many tractor people want to use it. They want to haul loads on equipment that is combined rated for over 26,000 LBS across state lines. That means they buy fuel out of state. That means they are to report...

    What's the big deal.... getting a CDL

    There is a big difference in a motor home for pleasure and a truck and trailer capable of hauling heavy loads for pleasure. It is your "honest" buddies that have messed it up for us. The DOT knows that more and more of them are hauling for hire, over weight, running multi state and for profit...

    That 26,000 lbs rule.

    I was told by a DOT officer that we need to read the Federal Manual on Commercial Drivers front to back. It is not just easy as to go buy the truck that you want. The dealers will not tell you much, they are in it to sell trucks. It is our responsibility to know all of the rules once we buy it...

    JD No. 10 sickle mower

    Who sells new complete blades for the JD No. 10? TSC has them for the No. 5 and up, but I did not see one for the JD No. 10. Also, where is a good place to buy guards for this mower at a low price?
