Part 2 - connecting the 2 parts of the hook mechanism.
The parts
Per the manual, apply some grease where the bushing will fit
Space and bushing in place and then bolt to the already finished frame. A very precise fit by te way.
Both connected and shown with the parts needed to work the sliding hook and connect it to the truck chassis
First the pull/push rod
Then grease applied where the bushing will go.
The part that will attach it to the frame installed. The holes indicated is where the bolts will go that hold it in place.
When used as a kipper, this whole assembly will move up and the hooks will slide out to secure the container.
You can see I put the hydraulic lines above the cross brace. Will have to move them below, they might get clamped when using in roll off roll on mode. (getting the hydraulic lines through the guides was made easier by applying some grease to the guides)
Both sides done
Quick look for fit on the rolling chassis
And the why of those 2 little bits installed in the beginning. And no, I did not forget to put a nut on the naked bolts
That's it for the moment.
