I had a old Onan 15,000 watt generator till the blizzard packed the generator full of snow and ice and it let the smoke out. My house is off grid so it got used a good bit in the winter.
If you have mostly propane appliances like water Heater, dryer, stove and heat 10,000 watts should keep your house going and comfortable.
My house on average draws between 4 and 16 Amps at 48 volts so that is less than 2 and 8 at 110. But it's less than most. Personally I'd buy a decent welder with a 10,000 watt generator for a backup generator, multiple uses and it would get used more often so it would stay ready to go.

We need to stop calling these split rims and use the proper term, lock ring rims.
My generation has hardly seen a lock ring let alone a true split rim.

My understanding is a "true" split rim isn't what you have. True split rims are 3 piece rims, 2 half rims and a locking ring, possibly 2 locking rings. No one will touch those, the type I assume you have are solid centers and 1locking ring on the outside bead. Still not the safest. As others say, chains in several places if you don't have a cage. Be safe. Are those 16 or 18 inch rims? I have 2 sets of IH rims from my 1200, 6 bolt. One set is highway tires, the other winter treads. Now stacked up as those axles since been changed out to Ford 3/4 ton running gear

They are the 16s
Just going to throw on a couple used tires eventually I'll put a 7k trailer axle under it.

It seems keeping the split rim is the only option till it gets a 7k trailer axle.
-
Alternate thought. Use set the payloader bucket on the rim as a safety cage when inflating

I think is a 6 on 7.25?
Correct?

I'd like to get away from the split rims.

It’s been a rough spring
Real smoky, hot and dry
let me guess, they haven’t mentioned it on the news?
First time I've heard of it...it's not even smoky from them here yet.

Stuff is amazing and goes on fast. I realize it's not paint but it will last.

Yes all rentals in area full then several area towns lost multiple houses. So yes they are very short supply. Wife says some of her customers are living at a hotel because it's the only place available.
-
So when I was taught by united rentals it's 2 chains for first 10k then 2 per 10k thereafter plus one per attachment that can be removed so a backhoe at 14k would need 4 chains on the machine one on the loader. And one on the hoe.
My little ford at 3500 lbs needed 2 chains and one on a three pt attachment.
My post driver is less than 10k so 2 chains on the body one strap on the loader one strap on the driver arm and weight, one on the blade. That's the legal requirement but I add one more on the opposite end of the boom to prevent bounce.

Apparently this was off a model aa ford truck thought you may be able to confirm this. I've never seen anything like. Auto locking bed and auto dump gate.

I did find a YouTube video of similar on a a ford frame.
-
There is a gear reverser on the pto shaft.
It might get a ball hitch and a electric pump and hydraulic so I can use it on the truck.
-
Mechanical lock down, Mechanical lift Mechanical auto tailgate latch. Ih truck frame is my guess it's pretty cool if nothing else.

You turn the pto on and it runs cycles up and down till you shut it off.
I can't find any others on the internet.

Dad's last words to me that made sense were in February of 18 he passed June 10 of the same year his cancer took his ability to form sentences verbally and on paper. It also took his ability to comprehend we think, In a rare moment that February we had a 20 minute conversation ranging from how I kill a final drive on his tractor to mom and her health. To his prayers for my family. It was good and I did not know it would be the last.... they flew out one last time in late march he was nearly nonverbal. that April when we came back for the inevitable it was one word responses and the cancer was taking him. The point was I knew what was coming. So we were able to have some of those conversations early on before it got advanced. Dad was 60. Don't wait to have those conversation or you will regret it later in life.

2 more inches of rain today. This is my friends yard. Rivers have not yet come much.
-
.75 inches of rain forecast today. If could stay north of i90 that would be good. Stillwater is near floodstage already from high 90s yesterday. They don't need rain. North always needs rain.

Measure distance from the front of the trailer frame rail , the ball hitch coupler. And make sure the spring hangers are square. (Like squaring a wall up) if you do all three it should be good enough.
I would say 1/16 tolerance on square that should be most important.
I biult camper frames and that is what we did. That was nearly 18 years ago so my memory may be fuzzy.
