    Tire Question

    Its nice to know that you think you know what you are doing when all you have ever done is work for some one else. I guess thats how you manage to go day to day. Its not my fault that your offended by someone that owns things that you cant. I see thats why you wont be able to own a company...

    Tire Question

    Wrong. If you have budd or hub pilot you can change rim size. Daton requires the hub be changed to change rim sizes out of the 2.5 inch for the tubeless. I would put all my trust in a guy that just punched a clock instead of some one that actually uses all kinds of different tires and...

    Tire Question

    Do you have dayton (spoke) style rims? Do they have wedges to hold the tire to the hub? Does your rim look like a large ring? If so, the 11R22.5 is the same overall size as a 10.00 20 tire. As is 12R22.5 is the same as a 11.00 20 tire. The 9.00 20 is the same as a "low pro" 22.5. The rim of...

    Man dont get caught with that valve your talking about installed on a truck by DOT. The problem your talking about is easily remedied, All you need to do is learn how to drive a truck with a lift axle. Use brakes to slow down, then lift axle when cornering. Yes it takes planing, slow down...

    Eaton transmission

    Biggest question will you do all the work yourself? It will be far cheaper to have the current trans fixed than paying a shop to change the trans types. If you do it yourself the trans are under $1000 used for good running units. The clutch pedal just buy a new setup from the dealer. For max...

    Eaton transmission

    So to figure this out old school. Engine RPMs = 2100 ÷ Trans top ratio=.73 ÷ Axle ratio = 4.10 ÷ Tire ratio = 7.93 (thats for 11r 24.5) 8.3 (for 11r 22.5) Equals = 88.47883396694009 MPH...

    Any NYers to help out with some state specific questions on personal use dumptruck...

    Lol. Do you really want the truth? I guarantee you WILL hate it. First I have dealt with the bureau of compliance, they are the ones that issue you the "DOT" numbers. Any vehicle in NY state that has a GVWR, CGVWR of 10001 and over has to have DOT numbers. Period! I have the fines to prove...

    Does this truck have good power?? Mack w/427

    The CH is a tractor model. What are you doing with the truck? Is it going to be a heavy haul tandem dump, or just a tandem, single axle tractor? You can get a used tractor with C-12's or N14's, and DD series 60's for $10000 on great shape. The used truck market is in the crapper so there is...

    skidder advice

    There is no question that a Timberjack is the best skidder your money can buy. Johndeer = old farm tractors. Cat = overpriced name. The 380 or 450 would be the best for what you are looking for. Parts are super cheap and plentiful. No proprietary, oem only, overpriced parts. Look up...
