Detachable Gooseneck Questions

[raildogg]

Once the goosneck is on the tractors fifth wheel plate, how is it tilted to recieve the trailer?

Is there a hydraulic arm that is part of the 5th wheel, is it on the gooseneck assembly itself ?.

I have searched far and wide for a detailed drawing of same, no luck.

Plenty of the gooseneck with the lifting cylinders but nothing on how it is tilted or positioned to revieve the trailer.

HELP ! I'm tring to build a convincing model of a Cozad style reciever, so far so good.

I'm in the drawing stages and need info on this issue.Please help, anybody know where a drawings can be found??.

There is a hydraulic arm that comes down on the rear cross member that holds up the neck.

If you like, I can swing by my main yard in the morning and get some pics of a Murray and Cozad RGN. I thought I had pics of a RGN, but I dont.

Cozad has drawings on their site. Go to the specific trailer and they have photos, 3 view drawings and a list of specifications / dimensions.

Thanks I vivited there,Cozad site, many pics no particular details. If that is the case it is not shown on any of the drawing images I have found (There is a hydraulic arm that comes down on the rear cross member that holds up the neck.). More comments needed.

Look on YouTube, there are videos showing exactly how they work.
