[Today’s run: treadmill for 3.1 miles]
I’ve been helping my neighbor last weekend and a bit during this week. His main truck is down, so he is working on his backup truck so he can stay in the game.
The backup truck has not yet been in action for him. One of the things it was missing is called a wet-kit. The wet-kit is a transmission PTO which drives a hydraulic pump to run, for example, the dump bed on his asphalt dump trailer.
Over the weekend we got the PTO and the pump installed. The last couple of evenings we have been looking at the tank for the hydraulic fluid, it sits behind the cab, or at least that is where it is supposed to go. We are still figuring out the mounting.
He has so much mounted in the sides of the frame rails that we have not been able to find a place with enough clearance on both sides to put this brackets. So I think we are going to mount it in the top of the frame rail instead.
