New Sierra Trail Boss

[boyerbl]

Just picked this up for $500, new Duro Max 16hp engine and has a IMG_1836.jpgIMG_1839.jpgIMG_1849.jpgcomplete drive system rebuild. The box is just a storage cover

Nice find, newer tires as well?

Not sure, originally it came off a local Indian Rez before it was rebuilt. Just before the picture was taken it was driven across the Puget Sound and up onto the trailer. My trailer was a recent purchase and I noticed it was squealing on the way home so I took it directly to the tire shop. They checked the axle bearings and they were so bad they fell apart in the repairman's hands.

It is a good thing you that you caught it when you did.

Any trailer that is backed into the water needs the bearings checked regularly (or bearing buddies installed). My father had a boat trailer tire pass him on the freeway after his hubs seized up.

Ya i try to repack the bearing on my trailers every spring,

Would you have a Trail Boss Manuall?

No sorry I run a 1984 Argo IC but if you create a post with the Title something like "trail boss manual needed " someone on the forum maybe able to help you. richardsrelics.com has some info on them.
