    Bearing Grease Tool

    These tools work very well. Its amazing how much water comes out of the bearings after a good day playing out in the snow. Do mine 2-3x a year now. Electric grease gun makes it pretty quick, can get all 4 wheels, rotors off and greased up in about an hour. Though I will say all the tools arent...

    Any HVAC guys on here

    Tap on the pressure switches as well, seen them get jarred up when its cold. Its likely freezing up, but seen them show false signals in the past. Also the hoses leading to them are famous for cracking where you cant see. But as others noted, likely an exhaust/intake issue. Worth putting some...

    Boost Pack

    Its a tough thing when you're pulling diesel current out of a lithium starter. I know when my batteries in my duramax were dying putting the noco 1500A didnt have enough to start it. Buddy that owns a mobile shop pulled out the Noco 4250a one and that worked, but still couldnt really run the...

    Polaris goes electric

    Sounds like a pretty slick setup for you honestly. Yeah the skid plate would be a need if it was me and they weren't already well protected. Maybe even lean towards metal vs UMHW, maybe metal with teflon on it or something. Will be very interested to hear how it works out as well. Honestly, this...

    Polaris goes electric

    I know theres a ton of haters, but honestly, this has some pretty insane potential. I get it doesn't work for crazy long rides, but as long as it could last a full day riding id love not to have all the maintenance. This would make one hell of a good rock crawler. For farmers doing tasks its...

    Compact Tractors

    We have two older rigs for acerage things, a 950 and more recently a 955. Normally the 950 gets snow moving duty, with a our old big blower on the ass end. That being said the 955 will probably take over with its heated cab, 4x4 and front-mounted blower in the near future. Lots of options out...

    Why are cats so much more then skuds

    Cost of doing business imo. I agree with you above, they should just be posting out the door pricing. Whatever you are selling it for for should include all costs.

    Why are cats so much more then skuds

    The fact that they can still get away with charging "Freight" blows me away. As a business shipping product to your location is an inherent cost. It should be worked into the cost of your items and the customer should never be responsible with it. If people were getting charged "shipping to the...

    Three Wheelers

    I agree with this. Oftentimes I find it's best to go on partzilla, find the "New" part number for existing stuff and just go into the dealer with a list of part numbers. Honda has probably been the best at finding cross-references, but others aren't so willing/don't have the tools to find them.

    Three Wheelers

    The older 200CC engine is extremely solid though. The 250 will for sure shine on the power end of things, but I wouldn't hesitate if you are just out for a bit of fun. I have the same engine in my Fat Cat's and they honestly tractor extremely well for what they are. Put thousands of hours on...

    Trailer Ramp Traction

    Cheap way to do it is to find a ribbed boxliner and cut it into sections. I think I paid 20 bucks for 3 full size truck boxes from a pick and pull. Cut it into strips and use it to keep the skis from digging into the material. Few strips sideways with some decent screws would probably give you...

    Enclosed trailer inside tire wear

    Take it into Standens and get them to do an alignment. Very common to have bent axles now, they keep putting the smallest possible axles in trailers to save costs and they dont stand up to the abuse of rough roads etc. Standens were telling me that they often get brand new trailers in with bent...

    Slow Propane Flow

    Tanks off, then slow on, then check the pressure out of the reg, also look at the lines under the trailer. Seen many get kinked over time which can be tough to diagnose.

    Powering enclosed trailer propane furnace

    What I posted is exactly what you need, multi stage smart charger. Put it in, charge the batteries before you go to bed and you should be good overnight. A secret is if you close the vent on a honda eu2000 they often will run for an hour ish before shutting off (not a perfect science it depends...

    Powering enclosed trailer propane furnace

    Are you talking about running it from the truck? or from a generator? If its the truck you need a DC-DC converter, something like the Renogy units. If a generator its just a converter charger something like Basically just charges the battery... The diesel heaters do use less power than the...

    Lifting the trailer

    After lifting a few trailers DIY some with just axle flips, and one torsion axle with a subframe, I can say your best bet is to bring it into Standens and have them take a look at it. Brought my most recent trailer in and they truly are pros and do it all the time. They flipped my axles, welded...

    What is it worth

    VMR says basically 13k wholesale, 15.5k retail. Id list it for 17, take what you can get. Trucks are going crazy, but lots of people want decked up trim levels. http://www.vmrcanada.com/used-car/values/2011-gmc-1500%20sierra.html
