I just wore off the casting nipples on the 'new'/'old' tires and so tread life is not an issue but they are showing some sidewall and inside tread cracks. I was thinking wider but not taller since I think the loader is already a little short on the down stroke as is and might not even get to...
I do have a local guy with a CUCV but his F150 took a dump and his CUCV is now his daily driver. So that is my backup plan but how long it takes is the question.
Unfortunately I have hit a brick wall as it were. Until I have the drivers side rear coolant block off plate with the sensor in hand I cant complete the CUCV version of the kits. Ideally somebodies truck is down for maintenance or unused for a few weeks and can send it too me to finish the...
I hate to say this guys but I had my swap from bucket to auger done in 45 mins. I used penetrating oil liberally on all surfaces and tapped off the paint on the snap ring area and with a short sledge and a little cussing, off the pins came. Now when the pin came out it was dirty and needed...

My bars, like most of the Texarkana trucks are bent because they got lifted up by a telehandler on them. I wonder of some of the handling issues people have might be because the rear axle is cocked and articulated forward shortening the track?
I have heard that about the speed before but other than airing up the Michelins to 50psi it is all standard FLU419. Perhaps I am just more comfortable with the truck at speed than others. I did add some toe-in and bent the track bars a bit to get the rear axle tracking right.
So I just started getting fuel starvation issues after operating and driving at speed for over an hour today. Opened the fuel cap and I had a huge rush of air. I pulled the breather valve and it was blocked. I am not sure with what but after a lot of compressed air and some scraping a ton of...
I ordered the bracket from my equipment rental place who ordered it from LOWE who makes the original auger for the FLU419. I am absolutely sure that there are other ways to do this and the bracket will fit many other larger form augers like the LOWE unit. I figured that having the bracket...
