My first trailer project.
jen replied to Frank Angerano's topic in ATV Trailers, Haulers, and Attachments
I bought the trailer in a pinch to haul stuff for Grandma. Up in Ohio at a Tractor supply.. I do not like single tongue trailers I like triangular braced braced tongues. Otherwise it has been good ..second set of tires, repacked bearings thousands of miles on it -
My first trailer project.

I use "soft Straps" to tie down the wheel tension straps shown. The soft straps are very versatile and will not scuff paint and damage tender surfaces. The straps have sewn in loops at one end to ease strap pressure on frame members.

Gooood morning Cow Bayou! Louisiana ..Bon Reveil! & ...Allons! Great Biking state with a lot of fall Biking. However, unbelievable ATV areas. I want to go back with my ATV...THey have helmet Laws!...I always wear PP devices. My French is so so .
-
Another question ..What about a Spark Arrestor. I believe some area trails require that
-
Yeah if is made for plumbers it's no good.

And while I am venting on pet peeves....When trouble shooting one of the first things is "Tug And Pull " No I am not talking about my hair. I've been around enough construction sites to know how men's minds function.....LOL but tug pull wire terminations. Next look for unstripped wires at terminals. when the plastic is under the terminal you will get no connectivity or worse yet intermittent connectivity. Screw terminals for landing wires is the best (Point to point wiring). I absolutely hate "Punch down Terminal blocks". ( The wire is unstripped and placed over 'V' block and then punched into the V...😡

Good Morning Mt Rainier,WA...."I don't think we are in Florida Toto." Beautiful lush valleys and trails this time of year. It was just awesome . Spread out our blanket and lets just enjoy. No Spanish Bayonet or Sawtooth Palmetto jabbing me just lush flowers. There are ATV trails around but I was just hiking.

Wow a lot of things to play with on my new Foreman...Love the name. BTW What is best security system for : 1. tracking if someone steals it ...Banish the thought. 2. locking system/ tricks so someone does not steal it. Also Honda offers an ATV training course ...its a group thing... Yeah!...meet a lot of cool guys I mean peopple
-
BTW I will mention it however, I am sure you guys know this but others may not. Do not use water-soluble flux when soldering cu wires. Water-soluble flux will corrode the wires to dust.

On industrial controls high voltage igniter wires laying pressed tight to metal would cause control relay chatter on 120 vac circuits and play hell with low voltage circuits and frequency controllers. You got to love it ...it's like a murder mystery!
-
BTW Tie Wraps on high VDC ignition leads are bad. Many times guys will 'hog down' on tie wraps pulling the wire tight to metal (its grounded) housing.
-
Multi pin connectors are usually suspect when you see amps when unit is off...0.05 +-amps probably tolerable. Pulling fuses to reduce /eliminate current is an easy check. Howeve, Multi pin connectors will short out one pin to another and cause bat drain
-
Use your Fluke meter to check DC amps when machine is off.

Hey ..You're the man! LOL get-r -done. its almost Cocktail hour and brutal hot here.
-
Hey, I am into tearing it up back in the woods...LOL But with the SXS i had to stay on trails and if mud was there we went through it. Got a mud skin treatment free.. With the ATV I can go around the mud holes as it is narrower and will climb steep grades.

Goood Morning Montana! I love that state. I started out from Kalispell and drove north through the Nat park. The roads had just opened. and went to Great falls and eventually Missoula. Varied landscape but stunning . I saw a lot of ATV signs but i was working. Here is a map of just a few ATV OHV. Plan your Fall get-it -together
-
Yes A1 tires clean well . The ones on my new ATV look better for road travel . Gwbarm said to try them before changing. The tires in single photo are on my SXS. I have had it with a 300 lb stone in it in water / mud. They clean up nicely.
-
Great question My SXS has aggressive mud tires Maxxis but I too must travel 1/2 mile on paved road to get to the rear of property. The terrain is too rough to travel cross country back there. But my new Foreman ( love the name) has what looks like light A1 agricultural tread. I am going cross county to the back so I'll see how that tread does. I have got out of some deep mud with the Maxxis SXS
-
yes in my truck it is ok but traveling in My Highlander i use the reciever rack for gas.

here it is...lot of things to play with...winch is poly rope
