    Weird tire wear

    I didn’t install new races. Just popped the same bearings in after packing. I believe I did as you suggest with castle nut and cotter pin. According to google the boat weighs 1,100 lbs. motor is around 300. 17 gal gas tank times 6 lb/gal so about 100 lbs. So 1,500 plus gear. 1700? Load index...

    Weird tire wear

    Did the wheel bearings a few years ago on my Ranger boat trailer and got new tires. It has bearing buddies and I thought I did everything correctly. Fast forward 4 years or so without too many miles (prob less than 1000) I noticed some weird tire wear. The outside is down to barely any tread and...

    Proof manufacturer- different label + same battery.

    Ehhh I'd be more impressed if it were labels from two stores not related to each other. I.e. Napa and Carquest

    Spline Lug Nuts

    Don't think the socket tool is impact safe. With that said, I've used my impact several times with no issues. But only at 80 ft/lbs. If I ever remember, I would break the lugs free with a breaker bar first with the vehicle on the ground. But I always forget and lift the vehicle, put it in jack...

    Oil air filter with wire backing?

    Ordered a new air filter for the 99 arctic cat 300 I picked up. To my surprise it has a metal backing with foam insert inside and out. I am used to oiling plain old foam filters with a removable housing. Do I oil this filter? The thing is like rock solid. I thought foam always gets oiled. Makes...

    ‘99 Arctic Cat 300 4x4

    Picked it up. Needs some work. Needs carb clean, air oil gas filters, oil change, spark plug, differential oil, wheel bearings, maybe ball joints, rear shock leaking, no brakes work whatsoever. No rotor or caliper in the back, hose just pinched off. Front ones maybe just need to be bled. Doesn't...

    ‘99 Arctic Cat 300 4x4

    I talked the guy down to $800 for this machine. I feel like that's a solid deal for something that runs, has new tires, not much rust, no issues. Just wondering if anyone has any experience with Arctic Cats from this era and what to look for. When was the first Arctic Cat atv? I believe the...

    It's subtle, small, and I guess looks like something they eat! Total length is only like 3-4"

    Bass fishing (Ned rig)

    Not sure how many of you bass fish, but there is a newer technique that made a believer out of me today. Zman, a company, has capitalized on marketing the Ned Rig. All it is, is a light 1/16-1/8oz ball head jig with half a senko type bait threaded on. For the last couple years I've been hearing...

    Back of the brake pad: anti-seize or silicone brake lube?

    Surprised no one uses actual brake caliper grease. I use either purple or green. Silglyde on pins

    Broke axle pinch stud

    Broke two of these studs by torquing them twice as much. I replaced them and got regular nuts to use. The oem nuts are flanged I believe is the term? Rode a distance with them over the weekend. The bottom left one was loose. I was at a hardware store yesterday and decided to get the nuts that...

Then started leaking from bottom radiator hose after pressure testing again. Put new hose clamp on that. Then pressure tested...

    Are all JASO FD the same?

    Surprised there are no responses. I'll take a shot. I believe some oils will run cleaner than others. For example I've heard AMSOIL runs clean but runs off during storage. You have to decide if the money saved is worth it to you to try another oil. I, myself have been running quicksilver full...

    Lost all coolant

    Thanks for the help (most) everyone! I was able to get the fan off using a rented 36mm wrench and by get this, the two bolts that attach to the fan cover to hold the water pump pulley. I didn't see any visible leaks from a couple days ago. I rented a pressure tester from autozone and pep boys...
