    Trailer Wheel

    15” 6 lug is a very hard one to get. Dextar makes them for sure and last I knew E trailer had them… but it’s very hard to find them. Last time my shop found them available, we bought out the supplier inventory which was all of 6 wheels…. If all you can find is a 16” wheel then as a spare, just...

    1995 3.0 cobra coolant system.... (and hello)

    What you are trying to do is a guaranteed frozen block… all you gotta do is drain the block and manifold. Remove hoses, make sure you get all the water out. You can add antifreeze back to the block through a hose or other means if you want to… but air doesn’t freeze

    Thinking about an upgrade for the tow vehicle

    In those generations, a Ram Cummins is really the only one. 5.9/ 6.7 pre emissions. 6.0 Ford was actually built from an industrial version used in some school busses and such, but the Cummins is actually more common in school busses. 6.0 can be decent but if it’s not bulletproofed with...

    You can mix it with fresh fuel 50/50 and not really worry about anything.

    Replacement Oil Filters

    Yup. Same here. My John Deere takes the same filter as a Toyota Carolla 4cyl.

    Wizard Western Auto 6602 A47 7hp different electrical power source than I've seen

    Some of the techumseh engines had what they called SSI or solid state ignition. I think 1967 was the first year it was used. If it’s failed, there is no direct replacement and only some can be converted to points.

    Doing lack of maintenance repair on Ariens 1128 snowblower.

    My driveway is single car wide, 2 cars long so the 1128 is a little ( lot ) overkill. Should only take me a few minutes to clear it. Problem is, it has the ability to make my snow the neighbors snow, which they may not like. I’ll have to keep the deflector adjusted accordingly

    Doing lack of maintenance repair on Ariens 1128 snowblower.

    My boss bought a 24” deluxe last year and hates it… because it works so well he gets snow blown back on him. Just not changing chute direction quick enough I say. I used to have one of those cabs for the one my mom has as she wanted it. But it was so bulky and didn’t fit right ( Arnold...

    Doing lack of maintenance repair on Ariens 1128 snowblower.

    @Scott Danforth do you know where the auger brake spring goes? I put it in a hole I assumed it went. The only one I see and it does not allow the brake to engage. The machine is working great otherwise. I also changed the oil and lubed jt

    Key Fob cost

    You need 2 fobs or keys to self program in almost all cases, without extra hardware. My wife never had a second key for her 2015 ram. I bought a smart key programmer and programmed 4 EBay keys for it. The smart programmer cost $90 and came with one key. The keys off eBay were $10 each. I’m not...

    Tire size mismatch question

    Any tire shop can get a bare 14” wheel for very little money. I don’t know the current cost but last year we were selling them for like $35 or something. Pair that with something like a Triangle tire and you have peace of mind for very little money

    Tire size mismatch question

    But it’s relatively twice as fast as a normal run of the mill wheel balancer. It’s a Hunter Smart weight. They don’t need to spin at road speed. But the faster they spin, the higher accuracy they have

    Tire size mismatch question

    My shop won’t sell a tire that has too much runout. The actual amount of Weight does not matter, to a point. If it’s not right, we re order a tire if it’s not in stock… but as to trailer tires. You can try to balance them, but generally will take so much weight and have so much runout that...

    Tire size mismatch question

    I’ve been doing this myself for the last 10 years. My boss has been doing it since 1993, he has had his shop since 2013 but I wasn’t with him when he opened.. we have absorbed work by word of mouth for hundreds of miles. I just put tires on a 4 car stacker yesterday. The shop I worked at...

    Tire size mismatch question

    Many quality passenger tires end up not needing any weight and have a very small amount of runout if any. Yes any tire will flex. There is a large amount of runout with any trailer tire

    toshiba mq01abd100 SATA internal hard drive with w pro ??

    Buy an SSD. And yes you can download windows 10 ISO directly from Microsoft and install it with a USB flash drive. It will activate automatically. Just select skip key. Because you have already activated from Dell. All Dell drivers should be in the factory build of Win 10 install

    Tire size mismatch question

    Trailer tires are never perfectly round and take absorbent amounts of weight.Once you put a few on a balancer you understand. It is literally a waste of time.. yes they could be match balanced to get the weight down a little. But it’s not going to fix the runout. Balancing compound would be all...
