Air compressor and "that hose"

[Curt Sprenger]

Rob,
I'm not sure who it was that made the additional access hole. But, the good
thing is to know it has been done before. I'm thinking it was done on a
PT38. I believe the 40' + units have a slightly different frame/cross frame
arrangement in that area. I've mentioned before to Randy that his skinny guy
(worker) would have to be REAL skinny to get up beside the transmission on a
38 footer.
