Then they can't act as suspension though?

The airbag is part of the suspension. It absorbs the bounces and dips in the road. if you put in a pin in it it would be too rigid which could possibly cause the frame to bend or twists or welds to fail every time he hit a bump in the road

@@nathanplatt5517 your both right, how bout a safety chain so the air bags could flex and if they fail, the chains will catch it.

@@southern_merican safety chain or if the pin hole was more like a slot so it allowed vertical travel up to a certain point. I'm sure there is a technical term for what I'm thinking of but idk it.

@@lowside67 they can’t act as suspension if they failed anyway, it’s a good idea to have a way to keep it off the ground so it can be moved

Yes a leveling valve is really must have item as it adjusts to changing loads automatically. Also a travel limiting device. A strap or shock.

Awesome! Thank you! 👍

Same! Just subscribed

oh... don't forget the kitten... kittens always work. It doesn't get much better than kittens & kids!

I’m looking at it thinking “with the length of that arm, how do you work with twin axles? I reckon the only solution is to fit the rearmost axle in reverse, in other words the arm & suspension is behind the axle.

Thanks Phil! Spending a lot of time behind that computer for editing, it's around 15-20 hours per video, so always appreciated when it's appreciated....that was a strange way to put it...😅 But again, thanks man! 👍

Thank you Mr Johnson!

Glad you like it Paul!

Thanks!

😂 good one...👍

I'm working on it at the moment!! by improving it! 😁

What's the advantage of bushings in this situation? I can see cost and easy of manufacture being two, but what would the others be.

@@andyvoytko heavily generalized bushings are good for high load and low RPM. The balls in a ball bearing can wear in into the seat but the bushings do not like a lot of rotation constantly. That is the trade-off I have heard.

I'm my 15+ years of machine designing I always used bushing for low RPM and high loads and bearing in the opposite situation. For the trailer, since there's no real rotation, ball bearings will have the tendency to spot, so bushing was a no brainer for me. BUT, we all have to be carefull, they are develloping new materials and now some bushing are really perfortmant for rotation. I used brass-graphite flanged bushings in some thigh space application, where they are in constant rotation and I know, from refurbishing these machines years later, that they hold up to the taks!

Great! thanks for the sub 👍😁

I know right...😏

😅👍🖐

Hey thanks Seth! I wish I spend more time in the shop with my boy...but apparently, Minekraft is more fun than my garage 😥 Glad you worked with yours! 👍

Hey glad it inspired you Christopher! 👍

Thanks Kevin, Glad you enjoy it! 👍

Thanks Claude! 😁

Thanks NAV! 👍👍👍

Thanks Jonny! 👍

Thanks LW!

Great! That's the goal!

Salut Sylvain! J'vais essayer de garder un bon ryhtm de vidéo cet été, surtout avec des vidéo de course avec la smart, mais probablement un point moins de gros projet.

Thanks Gazza!

Yes, I'm thinking about it, maybe making a smaller version for motorcycle!

I'm glad that I deserved your first comment! Thanks John, happy you like my vids/projects! 😁

Le plus vieux un peu plus que la plus jeune...

Merci Yves! 👍

Hi Steve, about the tandem axel, it's a good point, I'll try to show you that version in the last episode! Thanks for the comment!👍

@@VinyB57 That's great! Thanks Viny!!

Merci Luc! 👍

Thanks Jim!

I'm 100% with you on this one! 😁

Merci Guillaume! 👍👍

Glad you enjoyed

thanks man!

YEEEEEESSS!!!!! Let's GO!!!!

hey thanks buddy! 👍

Hey thanks Matt! I also found epoxy primer, not super expensive and hard as a coffin nail. I only put tremclad on it...rookie mistake! 🤦‍♂

Thanks Tony!

Can't tell from the accent, but his "en théorie", the lil' girl saying "ça gonfle" was pretty obvious.

Thank you Dan 😊

Thanks...yeah I didi with what I had...took me only 30 min though, and I still have all my 10 fingers...so far..😅

Won't lie, didn't know about that measurement, I will double check it, if I did all correctly, should be good!

@@VinyB57 totally agree, with how you went about everything it'll be spot on i bet! I've always measured to the tip of the zerk fitting if the spindle has it to double check my alignment.

Content que tu apprécies mon travail! 👍

I agree. I don't think the shocks are doing anything. The vector is totally wrong. --Doozer

Merci! 👍😁

Hey thanks man!! 👍

Hi Mike, yes I did, but frankly I'm a master at welding steel, or in other words, I suck big time welding aluminium 😅 But seriously, the problem is that I don't have a good welder for aluminium. I need to put the budget for a good alu welder and then I could consider alu for my builds, thanks for your comment! 👍

Merci A!

Thanks Rattan, glad you liked it! 👍

@@VinyB57 what is the price for the design buddy?

@@rattansingh2275 Have a look on my website: 57design.ca

It,s all about the editing...that'sthe key of easyness...😅 You cut the parts that you struggle the most...but you put some in there when it's relevant / entertaining enough...😉

Glad you like them!

Great! thanks for the sub and welcome aboard

YES, FOR ALL THE LASER - PLASMA CUTTED PARTS

Merci. Favourite, flavour, colour, etc. .. 🤘🤓🤘🇨🇦

First, when load and unload anything, I used the trailer's jack at the front of the tongue, otherwise pretty much of all of the weight of the trailer and the load will be transfert to the hitch, then once it's lifted up, it's just like a normal trailer, so you need to balance your weight to be just a bit tongue heavy! Do I make sence Bill?

@@VinyB57 Makes sense. Sounds like it would tow very good balanced like that.

thanks Leo
