Looks good other than rust holes in rear bridge. That can be fixed Quote We the unwilling, Lead by the unqualified, are doing the impossible, for the ungrateful.

Rob Posted January 6, 2020 Share Posted January 6, 2020 I have no experience at all with an RGN that is ground bearing. Only one I really ever used was a NGB Talbert 50t unit and I borrowed it a few times to move my 780 Case backhoe. Nice one to operate for sure but far more $$$ than I need to expend on a start up type operation. If I'm thinking right; those bridges or bolsters really should have a way to ventilate themselves besides a big rust hole. I don't know but every one of them likes to rust through in that area. I'm on the "one payment" method of doing things so if anybody wants to talk turkey, I'll be listening. This is a new venture for me and thankfully I'm not completely green so hope to sound intelligent, (at least). I'll plead my case and give a vendor the chance to reduce their asking price to my liking, (whatever that is) or walk away clean. Pretty easy to convey a price is too high and it gives a second chance for a submital. That's just good business and fair to both parties I feel. So far I have six candidates to evaluate. Four are listed in "Truck Paper", and two are private owned. I'll look at all while driving the car and run back out in the R model to grab whatever is purchased to bring back. Sounds like Martin treated you right as that trailer is very nice and I hope it serves you well. Thanks for the tip(s); certainly appreciated.
