Same thing I said to the freight company.pretty hard to loose a pin box
They say they did, and it's supposed to be here this Wednesday between noon and 4. We shall see.well. Did they fine a couple hundred pound pin box yet?
Don't sign if anything looks too damaged and make sure to note any damage visible on the BOL when deliveredThey say they did, and it's supposed to be here this Wednesday between noon and 4. We shall see.
So I used my Father's torque method used a 3 foot breaker bar and tightened them "until they squealed" (them bolts ain't going nowhere now boy).
I don't know nothing about farming, and neither did my Father. Appreciate your input. If I managed to stretch one of those 5/8-11 grade 8 bolts I'll be sure to post a picture of it. Now my back lifting that 141lb MOR/ryde up into the companion 5th wheel on the other hand, yea probably should have waited for help.That's called "Farmer Tight" and responsible for more broken/stretched bolts than anything else in the world. Torque specs are available on the web for whatever size bolt you have and the grade.
Thanks Jerrod. I sure hope we do.Very nice I think you'll like it

No offense was taken Cliff. It's all good.I re-read my original post and it came across as critical but was meant to be tongue-in-cheek. My apologies.....
Well the Mor/ryde pin box finally arrived, I was very impressed with the packaging. Didn't have a scratch on it. 3 Hours after it got here I had it on, and I installed it by myself.
The first picture shows all the bolts removed with the old pin box held with the 5th wheel, and an 12" round pry bar. I simply pulled the bar and pulled forward a few feet. Pulled the old pin box off the 5th wheel, and put the new pin box in the 5th wheel, and backed up under the toy hauler, raised the back of the new pin box, put the pry bar in a bolt hole and started putting in bolts.

This picture shows the Mor/ryde pin box installed. The torque specs given where somewhat confusing, because it gave 3 different specifications for the exact same bolt. So I used my Father's torque method used a 3 foot breaker bar and tightened them "until they squealed" (them bolts ain't going nowhere now boy). I couldn't bring myself to drill into the new box so I mounted the break away switch using one the old pin box cover mounting holes.
