Best Answer

You make sure the kingpin lock is pulled out from the fifth wheel, then you back up to the trailer - keeping the truck centered with the trailer. Depending on how the trailer was dropped, you may need to deflate the tractor air bags to lower your fifth wheel height. When you back under the trailer, you'll hear the kingpin lock engage. Pull forward, to ensure it's locked in place. Once that's done, you'll reinflate your cab air bags, get out, visually check the fifth wheel and kingpin lock, then you'll hook up your pigtail and air lines.

What happens if you put off road diesel in a diesel tractor engine?

Depends...by "diesel tractor" do you mean "farm tractor" or "semi tractor"? You're SUPPOSED only to put off road diesel in a farm tractor. That's why they make it. If you have put it in a semi tractor, get hold of your dispatch/brief/lawyer right away for advice on what to do. If you have a pre-2007 engine your trouble is almost exclusively legal. If your engine is 2007 or 2010 compliant, you're probably going to screw up your EGR and diesel particulate filter, which will break your engine.

Used tractor parts in Joplin Mo?

If the "tractor" is a semi tractor, the only place in Joplin to go is 4 State Trucks, which is off I-44 Exit 4 across from Pilot and Petro. (I think it really is the only place!) If it's a farm tractor, call them up and tell them what you need, and they'll know where to go.
