Tires look great. Suggest repacking or replacing the wheel bearings. Not a tough job and service the brakes also easy project. Nice to know all of that is up to date when hauling your tractor. Another good video. Keep on truckin'!
Indeed! Thank you!
Couple suggestions: Get a spare tire, just in case. Wire wheel the studs and use anti-seize. Always good content, kind regards.
Smart! Thank you!
Spare tire 100%.
Right side socket and wrench to get the Lug nuts off.
Jack, unless you use your trucks Jack.
No use having a spare if you don’t have a way to change it.

@@SteveB2601easy way to change a trailer tire with dual axles is to drive the good tire up onto a 4x4 or larger block. He needs an assortment of blocks anyway to support the rear of the trailer when driving heavy things up the ramp. A tongue box would be a great addition for a jack if you decide to go that way, blocks, straps, chains, binders, whatever.
I wish I read this message 5 months ago. I bent my trailer putting a large tractor on my trailer. I had to bend it back and weld a skeleton frame around the whole trailer. Then I added two screw jacks to each side. Is it perfect no. Does it work and drive straight yes.
Ed I was told that their is a hot and ground on trailer brakes. On my trailer there is. The way to check is put your truck at an angle , lift the tire up and spin it then while it is spinning watch when you activate the break. Seeings that you have to rewire the plug may I suggest getting a complete led light kit and replace them all . Also I would add penny lights on the front and back of the fenders. Amber in front red on back. They are like $3 each. You will thank me if you have to back it up at night. Have a great day
Ed keep one of the old wheels and find just a tire for a spare that will get you home if needed. Looks good. Sure feel better with those tires on it. Love my cordless impact also. Sure comes in handy
Good idea, Bob!
I always strove for a mean stance on my muscle cars. You have accomplished that with your trailer.
Take care God Bless STAY SAFE
Thanks, you too, Bob!
I knew the tires would come right off. Great looking trailer.
Thanks!
I have a 24 foot tandem axle that I put new tires and axles on in 2020. In three years I had blowouts on three tires from the belts slipping. The tires were inflated to the right level each time and I don't run the trailer that much. All the blowouts were on the brake axle. After that I replaced the brake axle tires with high ply commercial trailer tires. No issues since. I still run the crude tires on the idler axle.
Yikes!
"She's a beaut, Clark!"
Take care and God Bless.
PS: I believe that Tractor Time with Tim did a video or two dealing with considerations around doing tractor work for hire - insurance, how to price a job, etc. It's probably worth having a look before you get too deep into it.
Haha! Yes Tim did. I remember that video. 👍
Great buy Ed great buy 💯%🐸CW
Thanks Curt! I think they will work just fine. 👍
Great video, thanks. The trailer looks great with the new wheels and tyres. I am sure you could have got another 37 years out of the old ones 🙂 We do not have to have a trailer inspected over here but you would be in a world of pain if stopped with a trailer that is not roadworthy
Haha! They actually could have likely held up longer!
Ed, I know this is gonna sound crazy but I have a friend here in Kentucky that has your same exact model tractor. He has a sign in his yard and he post at local Rural King, Tractor Supply, Lowe’s etc, that he does garden tilling. I never would have believed that would be something that many people would want. You wouldn’t believe how busy he is with that one thing. I sure didn’t until he told me. Just a heads up. Could be a regional thing, I don’t know. But worth a shot. I’m sure that would work into other things as well. Just looking out.
Very nice! Pricing is also regional but I’d love to know what he charges.
Looking good so far. Careful using a non-impact rated socket with an impact, they can explode.
Indeed! I need to get a set. At least I found one that was only six sided. 👍
They can also damage your impact tool over time, I'm told, due to their being less malleable.
When installing any road wheels, they must be torqued to a recommended value. I'm sure he has a torque wrench somewhere in his garage.
Me being a Dewalt guy, that same impact gun is my favorite tool on the farm! Not a cheap tool but so worth the money...I use it for everything
Cheers
Now that I know how to use it, I love it!
I just realized that you have both a Jeep Wrangler TJ and a Gen14 F150. I currently own a Gen14 F150 as well and previously owned a '97 TJ. Great content and keep up the great work!
Very nice! Thank you!
The $500.00 14' tandem I bought used has mobile home hubs and axles on it. Short story I'm past $1500.00 and still going 🤣 I got a quick lesson on mobile home bearings !!!!
I always wondered about those. They have to be strong enough to handle the mobile home, but are they not strong enough for long-term use?
@@MyClutteredGarage Brakes are non service able those I cut off and welded in new backing plate, tires are not road legal replaced with new highway ones , bearings and races replaced. Should be fine for the 10 mile round trip I need to do for green oak slab bundles. each bundle yields 1 3/4 face cords when cut. Frame is over built with a better truck I'm hoping to haul 2 bundles per trip.
It will be good as new when your done with it. Make sure to check the hubs and repack the bearings. Fill to max air pressure always.
Thanks!
I have an 80s car hauler as well check your axles carefully, right behind the break drums between them and the springs is where axles snap, mine rusted out and snapped
Thanks!
Perfect job (and day) for the runaround Jeep! The new rims look like they have a little different offset than the old ones, but they're probably fine for trailer use. Those old tires certainly outlasted the norm for tire life!
Thanks Chad! I don’t think the new ones will last 37 years!
Hello Ed! Well done! Good job getting the tractor up and running. I hate trailer wiring. Always gives me grief. Looking forward to your first mobile job. Thanks for sharing.
I think I’m going to rewire it from scratch. Wish me luck!
@@MyClutteredGarage that's what I would do! And upgrade it all to sealed LED kids.
just left comment an hour ago then i remember this other channel The TrailerSmith this guy has a trailer repair shop and does great videos on repairs to trailers may want to check him out he good at it have a good evening
Thanks!
Looks good. Only thing with cheap tires is load rating and quality.
Indeed. I think they will work for a while. Maybe not 37 years. :)
Looking good! I would love to have a dual axle trailer.
Thank you! And thank you for the tire fund contribution!
👍🏻
I switched to SUV radial tires just for the speed rating. I think most equipment trailer type tires are only rated to 65 or 70mph. That's some of the camper issues, but most of that is long hauls and over weight combined.
I’ve always thought that would be ok too. However I have read that trailer tire sidewalls are specially designed for rigidity to prevent trailer sway. 🤷🏻♂️
@MyClutteredGarage I'm not going to admit to pulling over the weight capacity buuuttttt... I've not noticed a single issue with it. Far better tread wear, and they're definitely cooler to the touch when I stop to check everything. That's running 400+ miles straight, averaging 75mph with a full load on the trailer.
Great Job Ed
Nice job !!!
Thank you! Cheers!
Perfect! Looking good!
Nice, right?! Thanks!
Looks like the same wheels/tires that are on my trailer.
They are exactly the same as my utility trailer too. There must be one factory in China that makes all the tires and wheels for trailers. 🤷🏻♂️
Good Morning Sir 👍😇👌Lifting you trailer 🤔🤣👍 1987 is a long time ago 👍Nice too see your jeep in action 👍👌😇 Very Nice Fresh Rubber Smell 🤣🤣👍👍 CARRReFULL 🤣🤣👍👍6 ply tyres are better than 4 for sure 😇😇👍👍Yes men mental health is important 👍😇👌 Real nice Clark 🤔 CHINA BOMBS😮🤣👍 North American and Europe Produce are light years better than Chine's produces but our budget wallets and missions task are telling us what we have to choose 👍🧐👌Be Well Ed Cheers 🍻🍻 ( full watch !!!) 🧐🧐👍👍
😄👍😄👍
Instead of penetrating oil, try a 50/50 mix of Acetone, and ATF (automatic transmission fluid). This is one of the best rust penetrating oils out there!
Also, I have to ask.
I saw that you loaded ONE OLD TIRE AND WHEEL when you went to see the tire dealer, but did not return with it. Did you have to leave the old wheel and tire, or was it your choice to do so?
Hi. He asked if he could keep the old tire. That saved me a $5 disposal fee at the “dump”. 😄👍
Should you tourqe the lug nuts on the trailer
Probably!
Yes. There are charts online that give you the recommendation based on several variables like hub size, wheel material, etc. I write the torque and tire psi on the fender with a paint marker. Load range C are 65 psi (air pressure) and you should run at the max. Lug torque is probably 80-120 guessing without knowing all details of Edd's trailer except it has 5 lug 3500 lbs axles.
This is a really fun video to watch. I’m very particular about my tires, but it looks like you found a good tire person. Are you going to repack the bearings?
Thank Ed. I *should* repack the bearings. I should also take the drums off and inspect the brake linings.
@@MyClutteredGarageif you don't repack the bearings you'll be buying new axles. They have to be completely dry at this point.
The old tires were light truck tires and not trailer tires. You did get trailer tires with the stiffer sidewalls didn't you Ed. DMV in your state may have something to say if you didn't.
Indeed the new tires are ST (Special Trailer) 👍
What camera are you using that has the auto tracking feature?
That’s the DJI Pocket 3. I’ve had it about a month. Beautiful picture quality but using it takes some getting used to. And I’m a bit concerned about its fragility for the type of work I do.
@@MyClutteredGarage Understood. Ive been Happy with all my DJI products
