[QUOTE="cachsux, post: 1101373, member: 5529"] We'll just call this "What were they thinking?" [ATTACH]8597.vB[/ATTACH] Driver secured the front pin retainer with a ziptie. Didn't look close enough to see retainer is cracked and hanging by a thread. Cracks rusty too so that means it's been circulating in the system for a while. [ATTACH]8598.vB[/ATTACH] Here is a front retainer so bent out of shape that the pin handle is pulled so far back to meet it that the pin is only 1/2" at best in the container. [ATTACH]8599.vB[/ATTACH] A shot from underneath. [ATTACH]8600.vB[/ATTACH] A shot from above also showing the container is not up against the front of the chassis. An average 53' container is easily in the 50-60 thousand pound range. Do you really want it retained like this?
