Picked up my tractor after getting the axle seals replaced (seal between the center section and portal box) and noticed tooling marks on the chrome of the right steering cylinder. Some of the tooling marks even have a burr. Called them up after I got home and with it still on the trailer I...

Front hub is leaking around the shaft that the wheel flange is on. I have replaced this cartridge seal twice now and it is still leaking. Bearing seems fine. I know the axle housing builds up pressure sometimes but it seems like it still leaks when the fill plug is loose. I have also replaced...

8 year old Chinese trailer tire delaminated on me guessing because of age and driving too fast. Happened at a good time though. Sunny, 78 degrees and close to home. I was able to limp to a truck stop and a buddy lives close by with a cordless impact so changing out the tire was a breeze. Took...

Looking at between a 3500 and 5500 Ram and would like to get a 5th gen body style. Wondering when they are going to release the new tin.

Got a leaky seal on the front axle hub and I need to figure out how to get the bearing and gear off to get to the seal.

I have the Brakesmart unit on my truck but they have gone out of buisness. If something ever happens to it I would have to go with a Maxbrake unit. I have been reading though that Maxbrake has gone out of buisness. I hope it's not true because those two controllers were the only true...

Cummins diesel for new Nissan Titan stirs pickup market

95 F350 2WD, 460 motor. When the engine is off and the steering wheel is turned, the fluid in the reservoir will pop the cap off and spray fluid under the hood. It works perfect when the engine is running and the steering wheel is turned. With the front jacked up I can grab the rotors and run it...

I don't trust my welds to have 10 tons on them rolling down the highway so I took it to a semi chassis shop to have it lifted. They used 2"x4" tubing and gussets to lift the camper 4" on torsion axles.

Last year my wife wanted a dually of her own because she thinks my truck is a "pretty boy" and wanted a real work truck of her own. Here is a list of replaced and fabed items- Flatbed Head gasket set Plugs/cap/rotor Radiator Alternator Battery Headlight housings Clutch Ujoints Pinion seal...

Dang it! I had just put a set of these tires on my camper. It takes a lot of work to get the camper up in the air to get the tires off. BFGoodrich Announces Voluntary Safety Recall for Commercial T/A A/S LRE tires...

I have an electric over hydraulic landing gear for an enclosed trailer. When the truck is unhooked and the landing gear is being retracted, the unit will be jumpy sometimes until I release the button and start over again. What would cause this?

There is a lot more weight on the steer axle than I thought. This is with the Jeep in the back. I'm betting we'll be over 28K with all our junk in it.

6 new tires, 12 bearings/races, 6 grease seals, 4 brake shoes and 8-9 hours of time! Also torqued down 48 lug nuts last night and I am done with this project as far as running gear goes.

What would be the best way to go about doing this? Got a 48' enclosed gooseneck with living quarters that comes in at 16k lbs empty with three torsion axles. I need to take the wheels/tires off to go get new tires put on and will go through the brakes and bearings at the same time. I have heard...

Picked it up and the tow went well except for the plug came out on the interstate! Used the exhaust brake and the truck brakes to slow it down.

I'm looking to buy an enclosed race trailer with living quarters in the front and am wondering if my New Holland TC45DA will pick up the pin of the gooseneck. The trailer is a Storm Cyclone 48' with 20' living quarters. The tractor is rated at 2300lbs @ 19" behind the lift arm balls. I don't...

I had a set of tire chains off of an older compact Deere given to me but the person did not know what size the tires were on the tractor. Is there any way to figure out what size they are so I can give them to somebody that needs them?

We picked up a 95 Ford cab chassis dually for my wife and it did not come with a spare tire. I was given a 235/85r16 for a spare so I need a wheel now. The wheels takes flat lug wheel with a pin that I guess locates the wheel on the hub. From what I have been reading there are three offsets for...

Picked up a Ford dually for the wife and installed a Prodigy P3 in it. I tried it out empty and it seemed like the brakes were set too much or not enough. Is there a secret to setting this controller other than the power and boost settings? The only other controller I have to compare it to is a...

Acumen Braking System by Hillsboro Industries I don't see how this setup is better than regular surge brakes.

I wish I needed one at this price! Weight Distribution Trailer Hitches - Special I don't have any trailers I can use this on though.

I started hearing metal grinding sounds at low speeds while braking and noticed one of the drums was running hot to the touch. I had the wheels off to get the valve stems that were cracking replaced and decided to pull the hot drum. I found blue spots inside the drum and what looks like blue...

I have a 16K gooseneck trailer that when towing the other night I heard some funky noise when braking. Pulled the drums/hubs and found grease migrating out of the rear seal onto the drum face and to the magnet face on all four. This trailer is less than a year old and has around 1800 miles on...

Rescued a buddy of mine that has a 7.3 dually last night from the South side of Indianapolis. It is having fuel issues and I helped him out. We both work together so I brought his truck in to work with me. He always likes to rip on Dodge so I had to park it here at work and get a picture for him.

Need to haul two jeeps and want to make my ramps stand up. The trailer has a one inch bar between the dovetail and rub rail that the factory uses for stand up ramp bars and I'm guessing it attaches to the one inch loop handle on the ramp. I wish I could found out from the factory how they do it...

http://www.tractorbynet.com/forums/trailers-transportation/144663-gatormade.html I drive down to Sommerset yesterday with the defective gooseneck in tow to get the replacement trailer. I was told by the gentleman that handles the warranty claims that "if it passes my inspection it will pass...

A friend with a H1 (98 civilian model) is wanting to buy a tri-axle trailer off of me but does not have a brake controller in it. Do these trucks already have the harness under the dash? Thanks, Mike

I'm looking to go to one single brand of oil filters for most of my machinery. I have a Dodge/Cummins 6.7 that uses fleetguard oil filters so I would like to start using them. I'm looking for the oil filter #s for a 1972 M35A2 with a LDT-465 engine (military 6x6). I would also like to find one...

I bought a land pride tiller (25-70) that had a pto shaft with it but the cover was torn up pretty good. Where can I find online a source for plastic pto shaft covers? I believe it is a short Walterscheid (sp?) shaft. It is splined on both ends and has a shear bolt on the shaft itself...

I picked up this tiller for cheap and found out I need to replace a gasket on the gearbox. Would anyone know how to remove the gearbox? The unit looks to be about ten years old. The owners manual and parts manual online does not describe how to do this. Thanks, Mike

The wife let me purchase a Yamaha Raptor 700R and have been having fun with it so far. I asked the dealer how to check the oil and they said to wait five minutes after shutdown to check it. I unscrewed the dipstick and oil came out of the hole like it was overfilled. When I check the oil cold it...

My wife does the trimming around trees and other items in our yard. She now uses a 6hp B&S 22" cut MTD but this pusher is a little large for her. I would like to know if there are smaller, lighter push mowers available that I could buy. A freind of mine has a Cub Cadet 3.5 hp 18" cut that I like...

Has anyone here used this welder? I'll be buying a mig and was wondering what the advantage would be of this welder over the MM 251. Both say they will weld 1/2" in a single pass but there is a $1000 difference in the two. Thanks, Mike

I need to spread grubex or like product over 4 acres. According to the package I would need 40 - 15 lb bags or 600lbs. Is there anyplace I can buy grub killer granuals in bulk. The hopper on my spreader will hold 500 lbs so adding 15 lbs bags at a time does not appeal to me. Also each 15 lb bag...

I purchased a farm star cone type broadcast speader (looks like a cosmo spreader to me) and would like to know where I can get a cover for it. The diameter of the top rim is 39 1/4". I've seen a cover for Land Pride spreaders but not quite sure if it'll fit mine. Thanks, Mike

I have a 72" finish mower (soon to be 84") behind a tractor to cut the grass with and a 52" Exmark ztr to trim with. My question is when I trim around trees I slide the inside wheel leaving skid marks. How do I keep from doing this? I have to go pretty slow to not leave marks so I was wondering...

Has anyone delt with a Woods PRD series of rear discharge mowers?

I would like to find out what the difference is between the two. My...

KK 6\' RFM gear box vent? The people here are great. Thanks for all the help so far. I greased and topped the gear box oil and looked for some type of pinhole or mesh vent to clean. I could not find one on it anywhere. I would like to get everything on it ready to sell next spring. It's a 1995...
