    Rear wheels for TC18

    I want to replace one back wheel that is rusting but NH wants around $1400 for one. That seems a little steep to me. I can find all kinds of wheels the same size in every color for around $100 but not in white. Does anyone know where I can find a white wheel? I'd hate to change them to orange...

    Trailer tool box mount

    I just picked up a 16' car hauler and want to add a tool box to it but I'm concerned about how to mount it. My last flatbed had "c" channel where you could drill through the top and bolt everything down but this one has a boxed frame. I can't imagine a self tapper would be enough to keep the box...

    skid or tractor wheel

    I need to replace one of the rear wheels on my TC18 and NH wants $205 apiece. Same size skid wheels are about half the cost. How much of a difference is there between the skid wheel and the tractor wheel? Can I swap them out? What do I need to look for... Thanks

    TC18 no work lights

    I was wiring up some work lights from the factory connection and now I have no power at the connection. I tried to follow the electrical schematic but...I'm guessing it's in chinese or another foreign language because it makes no sense to me at all. I have 3 fuses under the hood and they appear...

    pickup to flat bed

    So I'm thinking of pulling the box off my truck and replacing it with a flatbed. It's been in the back of my head for years. I don't haul anything in the box other than hay, lumber, stove pellets and it would be easier to stack hay on the flat bed than in the box. Has anyone else done it...

    electric fence charger

    Maybe someone here can figure this out. I have a Red Snapper model 88 fence charger that no longer charges the fence. I've replaced the wire so it's one continuous strand from the box to the end. When I put a tester on the wire, it doesn't light up to show a current. If I unhook the wire from...

    quarter mil

    Had to share. Went over 250,000 miles on my 96 Powerstroke. Except for the darn CPS and one injector it was pretty smooth. Heres how it's set up: June 1996 F250HD XLT/SC, LWB, 4x4, 4:10LS, E4OD, White outside, Gray inside, Camper/Tow pack, Factory Aluminum wheels, Factory rear slider, decal...

    securing a TC 18

    Here's what I did to the front. I figured what Diamondpilot suggested would work. I couldn't find an answer on how strong shackles were. Here's a shot of both sides. I used grade 70 hooks and chain

    Choices

    I'm confused. I'm wanting to get a ball mount with a 4" drop that fits a 1 1/4" ball shank. I'm seeing forged and welded mounts. I need one rated for at least 10,000 lbs. Which is better? forged or welded? or does it matter. thanks

    Adding a starter to generator

    I'm still stone age with my generator in that I have a pull starter on it. I have an old Craftsman mower that quit running and I was wondering if I could put the starter unit on the generator. Is it possible to retro fit it or a waste of energy?

    securing a TC 18

    I don't like where I've chained my TC18 to the trailer. The back of the tractor leaves little choices to wrap a chain around. I've been using the mounting bracket where the fenders and "frame" mount to the rear axle but the tractor is so narrow it interfers with the PTO cover. I was thinking of...

    First haul out

    This is the first time hauling the tractor out with my new trailer. I thought I'd get it set up before I take it out next week just to see what it was going to look like. I know I didn't cross the front chains, it'll be done before I take off as well as a chain over the bucket. I have the...

    Spare tire carrier

    I'm finally getting around to mounting my spare tire carrier on my flat bed trailer and I'm open for suggestions/ideas where to mount it: 1) up front between the frame? right side front or right side rear and 2) bolt it on or weld... With the load bar brackets on the frame, I can't find a...

    hydraulics dip stick

    I know my eyes are bad but has anyone painted or marked the hydraulics dipstick in any way so you can see the oil on it? I have a bear of a time trying to read it. I've heard about a dye you could add but I'm kinda of leery of putting anything odd in the hydraulic fluid.

    fogging helmet

    I'm having issues fogging up the inside glass on my helmet. Aside from using a snorkel to breathe through, what's the best way to keep from fogging? I've tried ski mask wipes, warming the helmet up prior to use, not getting so excited about the great welds I'm laying down... thanks

    Back blade

    I have a Hoswe 6' well used blade with a pivot pin that's so sloppy I have a hard time locking it down after I've rotated the blade. I'm thinking of pulling it apart and either sleeving the pivot pin or reaming the locking holes out. Any suggestions? thanks

    D rings/stake pockets

    I see that most everyone uses the stake pockets to secure their equipment to. If your trailer has d rings, what do you use them for? Is it better to use the pockets over the rings? I've used both but just wondering... thanks

    Loader  "dead" spot

    I have a TC18 with the front loader on it. I'm gettinig a dead spot when I retract the bucket. When you bring the bucket down and tuck it back, there's a spot just before it stops when it will actually flop about before it locks down. All the fluids are up and I've tried to cycle the boom up and...
