    My First Build - 120 Gallon on a trailer

    Well I decided to stay with my original counterweight, after mocking it up last night I liked the look of the camshaft from that Detroit Diesel hanging up there. That with the semi smoke stacks just look cool and the door opens really nice, it balances perfectly at the half way point and makes a...
