    Z30/20HD Joystick Controller

    I have an older Z30/20HD (not an "N") SN Z30-2784 that I have done a few repairs to in the past, batteries are in good shape, and replaced the main electric motor a while back, less than 100 hours of use since then, all home/ maintenance use, trimming trees, cleaning gutters etc. so it sits a...

    Power lift for trailer ramps?

    Has anyone come up with a power lift system for equipment trailer ramps? I have a 3-axle with the two- pin floating attachment, ramps have braces underneath so pretty heavy for my two ruptured discs. Looking for an alternative to helper springs, and trailer will have a Group 31 battery to power...

    T650 problem with codes

    T650 runs great for a couple hours, then the brake and hydraulics lock and it throws codes H3916 D7501 H3276 and H4016. Shut it off for a few minutes, start and codes go away and function returns. The longer you run it, the closer together the issues, so seems heat related. Any ideas?

    8-133 or 8-222?

    What is the difference between the 8-133 and 8-222 Dexter hubs? Could it be the earlier vs later seals and bearings? Will an 8-222 fit on the same axle as the 8-133? I have an 8-133 with a crack in it (1968 trailer) and not having any luck finding 8-133 hubs- thanks!

    Hub conversion Fruehauf trailer

    Yep, dual axle, single wheels. Did you find a kit with drums & hubs? Have to go by bearing size? I know it will work, was looking for what hubs/ drums to make it work. I have seen kits in the past complete with wheels n tires, but didn't want to go that way and end up with Chinesium tires

    Hub conversion Fruehauf trailer

    I have a 1968 Fruehauf deckover tiltbed trailer, dual axle single wheels rated @20K. It has the Dexter 8-133 rim clamp 5-lug 14.5" hubs, and I would like to convert it to 8 lug hubs so I can run good 16" rims n HD tires on it, don't trust the 14.5's. What hubs would work, or will I need to pull...
