He is doing lefty loosy and righty tighty.

@davidtipton7234 I have never seen a wider or custom wheel for these axles. They might be out there, though.

@@1giantsgarage918 thanks. I was looking for the 9 14.5 already mounted. But can't seem to find any. So I guess I'll order 2 tires and 2 of the 6 inch wheels. It came with 2 spares but they are alot smaller and have the mh on em. It'll only get used a couple times a year to move hay and my backhoe. So really don't see the money in converting it.

Did you find where to buy the flanges?

Have you tried northern tool?

I believe so. Best evidence for that I've seen so far is the welded on brakes. Dayton style "lowboy" axles typically came with the bolt on backers. I'll upgrade these someday, lol. Thanks for watching.

I don't doubt it. This thing's been great!

@@1giantsgarage918 If ya don't turn it down it may snap bolts. Mine did tightening a bolt.

I found some on eBay, seems to be the easiest. There are some trailer parts places too that could order them for you.

Part of it is my throat was damaged severely a couple weeks ago so my speech is not where it should be. I'm gonna try on my next video to do one of the computer voice overs until I have a chance to heal up. Good idea with the mic too. I do have a lapel (sp?) mic I use when we do paranormal investigations. I'll give it a try for my garage stuff too. If I can sneak it out while my wife's not looking! 🤣🤣🤣

No adapter but you have to open up the tool and do a couple quick mods inside. Also some trimming of plastic on the tool itself.

What mods inside? Mine has three wires going to the battery. Some other tools just require relocating the ground. This one is different. Wish you would have done a video on it.

They make adapters too on Amazon for like 20 bucks

I did end up breaking off one of the pivot bolts but I ended up welding it back in. Not sure on the process of replacing them properly. Would be a good idea though.

I found the same kit on Amazon. I'll figure out the best way to replace the pivot bolts soon thanks for your reply.

I do not. The thing puked the rod out of the motor the first time I used it, lol.

I always use whatever the listed max psi is. My new tires are 115 psi. I have others that are 80 psi. Rides bouncier but keeps excess heat from building up.

Nice, that's a great score!

​@1giantsgarage918 Question for you. Are the swing arms the same left to right? Seems I have 2 right sided arms. One brake works great and the other won't grip hard enough to stop as good. However, that wheel works fine in reverse so I'm assuming the arm is wrong!

@@kentkirkpatrick7953the arms are different for left and right sides. The actuating arm should be on the front side of the assembly (direction of travel), not on the rear. If you have that, it is on the wrong side.

Sounds like you have a standard 5,200# axle. If maintained properly it should be just fine. Also there are no "Mobile Home Only" rated axles. That designation is only applied to certain tires manufactured just for the moving of mobile homes and will be clearly marked on the side. They are essentially cheaper constructed, lower weight rated tires.

That is not true at all. Even the "houses" themselves run 60-65 mph all day long in transport to and from their sites. Companoes will reuse the same axles under dozens of homes before retiring them. These axles use standard bearings and perform just as well as any other comparible trailer axle when maintained properly.

Not really, that part is basically the same.

@@1giantsgarage918 thanks man

I got mine off of eBay but any good tire shop can order them for you.

lol.. about to do the same. how did it work out?

I'm not sure the date of that tire. The 4 digit date code will tell you for sure. Usually first two indicate the week it was made and the last two will indicate the year. For example 1322 would be a tire made between March 20-26, 2022.

Thanks, I don't realize the date codes were that simple!

That's correct and as I recall it doesn't matter which you use as which.

If it has been converted to say a flatbed, by definition it is no longer a mobile home, "technically." With that being said I've never had a police officer check mine. I have one on my trailer still a MH use only tire. If it's all you have it'll work. Just remember they are not rated as heavy as "low boy" tires.

Think

I ordered mine off of eBay. Seller was ecustomhitch. They've gone up from $175 a pair when I ordered mine to $231 now but I'm happy with them.

That's correct as long as it has the 4" tube, it should be 5,200#'s each axle for 10,400#'s.

Also, check your tires. It should have the 14.5-7 (common) or 14.5-8 (preferred). If it has the 14.5-6 (less common) they won't hold as much weight since those are generally only 1,500# tires.

@@1giantsgarage918 ok, thank you!

Most of them are broken into two sizes. 3" axle tube is usually 3,500# and the 4" axle tube is usually 5,200#.

I don't know. This is about MH axles being used for trailers. You would have to contact your movers.
