Here is the work around I came up with. Do not click on the PDF icon on the original post above, click on the "Details" link below the icon. The link will take you to the Gallery page where the document is. In the "Item Info" box, copy and paste URL in the "direct link" to a new browser window and should see the document. For Chrome users, highlight the direct link URL, right mouse click and select "Go to http://...etc..

  I just tried 79Ramada's instructions for "Chrome users" and it worked just fine. It would be easier if we could just click the icon's but the work around's do work.  I already had them saved but just wanted to check and see.

Would one of you that had problems with this please try it again and report your results? Rod thinks he found the issue and got it fixed.

The 1971 thru 1989 manual (only one I was interested in) worked for me using Internet Explorer 11. Thanks to all who worked on the problem.

Worked for me as well! I had one sent to me by Greg which I have not opened yet but I wanted to make sure that this one on line was working for future members to obtain. I will thank Rod as well! :) Thank you Greg for sending me a copy via e-mail!

Thanks for posting, good reading material.  One of the things that caught my attention is the statement that the left front more commonly will not close all the way down.  To me, that would be a timing issue; in other words one of the other corners is bottomed-out before the left front seats.  Does that make sense or am I missing something?

Happy 4th to everyone.

Yeah, I've read too. But they never really explained the reason for why some trailers do that. My Mesa never did. Randy keep in mind though that if the road cover is level going up and level going down then your timing is fine. If your timing is off a little it's due to a sprocket being a link or two over where it engages the chain, from where it should be. That will make that corner be a little higher or lower then the other corners. So it could be a timing thing but I'm not sure it is. I would want to see if it's level when raising the road cover. It's a mystery  :D

Good points, I agree.   I really think the reason the chains were broken on my Mesa before I bought it was raising it before it was level.  Not getting anywhere on mine, simply too many other things I am keeping up with to work on it.  But I haven't given up.
