Looks good! May want to delete your fenders before they get into the tires.
Yeah the fenders are on the list. This trailer only does off road duties on our property. All the damage occurred before I put the log bunks on. Before the log bunks log could roll off the pile now it's not a problem
I tried another flush with no change in function but what came out was black. I can actually see Cat yellow in the compartment now so I think it's cleaning up. A friend came over an d helped my drag the 2t up from the bottom of our property. On flat ground travel is possible with a lot of backing up to straighten out but uphill was impossible. We tried pulling it up forward without the engine running but that was not going to happen. Then we tried pulling forward with the engine running under power, that wasn't much better. We decided to go drawbar to drawbar which actually worked. I don't think 1st gear on a 7u dozer and reverse on a 2t pull tractor are quite synchronized. It worked but the 7u was really grunting. Now that it's at the shop I plan on pressurewashing out the compartment to try and get the rest of the crude out and then try some more flushing.
Well none of my efforts were successful in trying to get the right clutch unstuck and the left one to stop slipping. So back in the shop for disassembly and new steering clutches. Hopefully there won't be any surprises.

"I also joined a year ago. had been on here a couple of times as a non-member and found the info very helpful so I got a one year subscription (not very expensive at all) to try it out. I really like all the resources on here so I just got a three year. I think its a very small price for what you can get out of this site."
