    Need new axle.

    Does anyone have any information on where I can get the same exact axle as I had before? It’s a 1997 Spartan Supreme. I have the vin number for the trailer but can’t seem to find the exact one I need so I can bolt it on and be done.

    Still waiting on a quote. I’ll call again tomorrow and hopefully they will have a quote. I’m very close to going and getting it with a trailer. It would just be so nice if they could fix it and I could go get it and it would be done

    I have a couple other people that are going to look at it so hopefully their quotes are a little more affordable. I would think a new axle (if it needs one) would be able to be bought and installed by the repairman for $1,000 or under. I guess I’ll find out. Supposed to have another quote from a...

    Not sure if it can ever be insured again after being totaled. I will definitely look into it.

    Then I can at least have someone I know and trust look at it and shoot me a repair price.

    That’s what I thought. I just wanted another opinion. I think I’ll call another place today to get a second opinion. And if all else fails, I’ll borrow a flatbed tilt trailer and go get it myself.

    It is a Spartan trailer. No brakes

    We have filed a claim, insurance paid for the $570 tow into the town, but our insurance will only pay up to $1,000 for trailer repairs. If it’s more than $1,000 they will total the trailer and give us the $1,000 dollars. But I don’t think we are going to find another trailer for that kind of money.

    I live in Montana. I have boat insurance, no AAA. My insurance will cover $1,000 on the trailer, but anything over that they will total the trailer. We don’t want that because we can’t buy a trailer for $1,000. And if they total it we can’t insure it again. But my real question is, from what I...

    Ok guys, here’s the deal. I had my bearings packed in May by my local tire shop, maybe put 150 miles on them since. Went on vacation with the family this last week with the boat (about 800 miles round trip) and checked the tires and rims at different stops to make sure nothing was heating up...

    1997 carbureted 3.0 Volvo penta losses prime

    Hi. I have a 1997 volvo penta 3.0 once I get it started it runs great, but when I shut it off it seems to lose its prime and I have to advance the throttle to get it started. I understand it’s probably a fuel line, but where do I start? And what do I look for? It is carbureted, but it seems like...
