Does anyone have a DOT sticker or other documentation on the load ratings of the axles for a 1985 Eagle Model 10?
I just relocated to PA and they are the first state that has insisted on having this information documented as part of their annual inspection process (FL, CO, CA, and TN did not care!).
Any help would be appreciated!

It is on the manufactures plate is that not good enough for them combine the 3 axles if not a s10 model and it will be 37,500 lbs with 11R 24.5 tires and wheels
If it came from the factory with 11R24.5's it will be as follows:
front 11,700
bogie 10,000
drive 17,000
GVWR 38,700
Sorry, Boomer is correct strange things happen with Eagles and the GVW a model 05 with 12rx22.5 has a GVW of 40,000 lbs and a GAW of 42,000 go figure lol all in the tires
good luck
luvrbus: Where on the coach would I find the "manufacturer's plate?"
Boomer: Where did you get those figures? Anything you can take a picture of and email me?
Thanks Guys, for your help!!!

Go here and have one of the guys send you the page from the Eagles manual with the info www.eaglesinternational.net (http://www.eaglesinternational.net) the manufactures plate should be up front above the drivers window if converted search the drivers area or a cabinet.
Manny has a place in FL that can make you a new manufactures plate using your Vin number and it will have all the info you need
good luck
luvrbus:
Thanks for the info!!!
I have searched all over, but the guy that raised the roof and put a new cap on the front was not the guy that did the interior conversion, so I think that the plate is either long-gone, or was covered-up beyond my ability to find...
I will go to the Eagles International site and contact "Manny" to get a new plate made???
If he has the correct information, that will solve my problems!
Thanks again!

Sorry to ask, but what is the best way to get in touch with "Manny?" I think I have to "register" with Eagles International, so whlie the topic is current, I thought I would ask you so that when I am an active member, I can "find" Manny.
Thanks,

Doug, you can view the picture in the general section I think it on page 3 or 4 his screen name is buscrazyinfl you will have to sign up to post or send Manny a PM from that board but Manny is a member here also so shoot him a pm from here same screen name ok
I will post for you there Eric Brown which is also here will have a old one to copy from some things will change since your 10 is built in Brownsville TX but the guys will help you a good group on the Eagles board
I have it posted for you on EI board Doug someone will be along soon I could help if I was at home

Come on over and join us on the EI board it is all about Eagles nothing else the tech section is worth it alone

I have a factory Eagle sales brochure for the M10 that has the information you are seeking. I can not email it to you right now as I am working away from home. I you contact Jefferson Bus or B&B Coach they might have a M10 data plate laying around. Change the serial number on it and you are in business. Keep in mind that right around '81 or '82 the government made the mfg. change from the 5 diget serial no. to the long one.
1982 was the first 17 digit serial number started with the 20259 (1EVAN6A12CBO2059) a AE model 10 went to Trailways Texas Inc fwiw I can find 3 1982 AE 10's with 5 digit numbers they were shipped in Nov and Dec of 1981
good luck
Doug, this is the plate that I had made at a local trophy shop. Your Model 10 would be slightly different. I had the same problem as you, my original VIN was no where to be found. If you'd like to know more about my Eagle check out the Eagle's Board, Project Eagles, "Manny & Darlene's Eagle 05" I see you're already registered on that board.

Yep Clifford, mine is one of those. My 30665 was built in Nov. '81. Had a helluva time getting a new title. Dumb @$# DMV insisted that it should have a long VIN. I sent them photos of the data plate and frame stamp. Still no dice, they made me pay to go get a State Patrol VIN inspection. The State Patrol generated a little tamper proof stick on data sticker and put it in my left front compartment. Guess what number they put on it? You got it, 30665. Go figger.
I bought both of the Long Beach Transit Eagles that were mfg. together Nov. '81. Non restroom and only 140K total miles with new engines when I got them. Sold the second one to Lima, MT school district. Far as I know it's still up there.
