Being the welder I have is light duty, I may go this route. No sentimental value, just an equivalent bush hog is 3k, not really in the budget.

Hey thanks. I acquired some steel plate from a Winn Dixie we are turning into an Aldi.

Thanks! I have a 110v wire feed welder from Harbor Freight. I fancy myself a decent welder if I hold my head just right [emoji23]

As the photos show, my deck is in bad shape. This cutter is 20 years old and when the rust/rot started it took hold fast. I have acquired some steel plate 1/8” to make the repairs. What is the best option to cut it? I do not have access to a torch, but do have a grinder with metal cut off wheels...

You may be on to something-the tires that failed on my horse trailer were in the sun. The other two were not and are fine.

I have Goodyears now and unfortunately two have failed-broken belts. They are almost 5 years old and have about 10k miles. I realize they are close to end life, but am very disappointed in how they fell apart. I ended up ordering Kenda tires from etrailer.com at $146/tire (235/80/16). Great reviews.

Looking for recommendations. 235/75/16 Load range E 10 ply for horse trailer. Prefer made in USA. Anyone use Carlisle? They seem to have good ratings

He definitely was. RIP Bird.

Agreed. The cylinder deactivation is plagued with problems, the worst being lifter/engine failures costing consumers a fortune.

I currently own 2 2015 GM products-a Yukon XL and Chevy 2500HD. The Yukon has 130k miles on it. Other than small repairs-lift gate latch and arms and temp sensor-it has been a pretty good vehicle. Bought it with 85k miles on it 3 years ago, one owner with good service record. My Silverado-bought...

While I feel Michelin makes a good tire, their prices are too high. I just put 4 Good Year Workhorse HT 265/70/18 10 ply load range E tires on my 2500HD for $1280. The equivalent in Michelin was $2100.

I really wish I knew. Don’t recall hitting anything or doing anything drastic

I bought my 2015 Silverado 2500 about 2 years ago with only 42k miles on the odometer. The tires on the truck, Nitto Ridge Grapplers, were nearly brand new. They, per the date code, were a late 2020 manufactured tire. Fast forward to now, I have put 48k miles on them. They have been well...

That is odd. Hope he is well.

How often do you grease? Our horse trailer will sit for a couple months then go on a pretty long haul of 300+ miles one way. I usually inject 2-3 pumps of grease before we go. Too much? Concerned about seal blow out, but do not see any signs of that. Thoughts??
