[QUOTE="cachsux, post: 1100381, member: 5529"] [ATTACH]8573.vB[/ATTACH] Fairly straight retainer meets pin handle at the front. Has a ziptie. Everything looks good,right? [ATTACH]8574.vB[/ATTACH] A closer look above and here shows that the retainer mounting point is just a chunk of threaded rod that has been welded ,poorly, to a pin guide sleeve that's in bad condition itself. [ATTACH]8575.vB[/ATTACH] The other side stands out a little better. A piece of threaded rod welded to the pin guide sleeve. Better yet notice the nut that is a completely different size, so large it just spins on the rod. The master trailer mechanic kept it from falling off by placing a weld blob on the rod. [ATTACH]8576.vB[/ATTACH] Here's a better view. Who wants to hedge their safety against this kind of maintenance. Don't look just at the retainers. Look at what the chassis looks like around it. Redtag! [ATTACH=full]8573[/ATTACH][ATTACH=full]8574[/ATTACH][ATTACH=full]8575[/ATTACH][ATTACH=full]8576[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
