I thought the 14.5's were strictly mobile home? I run 14.5's on my low deck drag along and I've probably smoked over a hundred through the years. I prefer the balder ones as they are the ones that haven't blown up yet. A new 14.5 scares me to death.

The guys I use for hauling my equipment around run 50 ton Murrays. Forget about the Cozads or any of the off brand trailers. A 50 ton wide neck with a heavy front truck/tractor has no trouble legalizing my 135 Komatsu with 5 axles. The dozer sits right at 96,000 full dressed with a heavy rops, a 14' blade and a fully loaded 3 bbl. ripper with 6'6" shanks.

New to this forum. A little about me,,,,, I'm a dirt guy. I have a few older machines I beat out a living with.  I also have a Cletrac K-20. I have had it for years and have fiddled with it some to find out the mag was flat but other than that and some plugs it seems that it can probably be coaxed into running. I'm a fair to middlin' mechanic and can pretty well get around anything that has nuts and bolts.   Right now I'm working on an old Austin Western 99L, an International TD 142-2, a Shelby Daytona Coupe and a Cobra replica car. So,,,, I work on pretty much anything that doesn't have a computer or fly.

I look forward to maybe going up to Lodi next weekend for the tech seminars and trade some lies with the the others. I have a call out asking about the topics and format for the day but haven't heard back yet. If anybody can share some info that would be great.
