    '01 F250 Center Caps Debacle

    I am at an impasse with the rear center caps on my F250. A few weeks ago I dropped it off at our local tire shop for all new tires. On the way home, we lost the rear driver's center cap. Ended up ordering a new one off of eBay. That off-brand center cap did not fit the rear driver's side...

    Aluminum, Galvanized Steel, & Galvanic Corrosion

    It's not technically outside. I have what we call a shelter house...meaning it is a covered building with no sides. The trailer can, and does, get wet on occasion, but it isn't setting out uncovered per se.

    Aluminum, Galvanized Steel, & Galvanic Corrosion

    Thanks, for the responses. To answer the saltwater question, no - this trailer will not see any saltwater. I live in Southern Indiana and 99% of the trailer's use is hauling my Honda Pioneer 1000-5 SxS. It sees tons of dirt and gravel, but no saltwater.

    Aluminum, Galvanized Steel, & Galvanic Corrosion

    I have attempted to research this to find my answer but, to be honest, it is way out of my area of expertise. I own a nice little 12ft aluminum trailer and I am wanting to add a spare tire mount for obvious reasons. Finding an all-aluminum mount appears to be next-to-impossible. So, I have...

    ZTM drive belt. I am at a loss

    I am the original owner. I've spoken to a few guys who also owned commercial grade mowers and they mentioned hearing that Hustler, on occasion, has mistakenly listed the wrong part number(s) in manuals for their mowers. Not sure how accurate this is but I plan on calling a local guy who works on...

    ZTM drive belt. I am at a loss

    I ended up not using the idler to get the belt on. Even without the idler, I still had to pry a small section of the belt on one of the pumps and then bump the starter to get it on. Mowed my entire yard last night like this. Luckily, it stayed on. No way the belt I have is the correct length...

    ZTM drive belt. I am at a loss

    The drive belt on my '06 Hustler Z blew this weekend while my son was mowing. I've spent the past two nights trying to get the replacement belt on to no avail. Belt won't fit even after I take the idler out of the equation. Purchased the belt at my local dealer...checked the belt and part...

    Trailer: 4 pin & 7 pin wiring question

    Just to re-clarify some of the points in my post. I'm not looking to use a 4-pin plug with the brakes. The 4 pin wires will only be connected to the appropriate lights via the junction box. The 7 pin plug will operate lights and brakes for any vehicle with a 7 pin connector. My state, Indiana...

    Trailer: 4 pin & 7 pin wiring question

    Recently bought a 3.5K aluminum trailer to use when I need to haul my SxS or zero turn mower with the Durango listed in my sig. This will be used when the F250 is being driven by the wife for hauling my daughter to-and-from her horse show practices/competitions. I'm wanting to add electric...

    JASO MA class oils

    All my shared sump machines have been ATVs and a UTV. My understanding from talking to other guys with powersport machines is the additives in other oils will cause slipping issues and possibly lead to premature wear. I've used RT6 in my Honda TRX90, 420, and Pioneer 1K5 SxS in addition to Honda...
