The welder I use to weld aluminum with is currently down. We will be getting it fixed. It’s looking like 4-5 weeks before I’ll have it back. We can still weld steel just not aluminum until we get this welder back.

This Featherlite horse trailer came in with a damaged door and door frame, causing the door to hardly open or shut. In fact, the door was taped shut. The guys down at Central Iowa Featherlite Trailer Sales were able to get a complete door assembly from the factory, so we could get this customer ready for their riding season.

The main causes of trailer bearing failures are:
1. Improper bearing preload
Setting it too loose can cause the wheel to wobble or walk, damage the spindle, cause uneven tire wear, and damage the inner wheel seal.

Setting it too tight can cause excessive heat and friction, which will break down the grease and, in turn, cause bearing failure. (Bearings set a little loose will last longer then bearings set a little too tight)
2. Over-greasing
This can cause the inner wheel seal to fail, allowing grease to escape into the brake area, leading to bearing and brake failure.
3. Using improper grease
This can cause excess heat and allow the grease to break down and turn “runny.” A high-temp, high drop-point bearing grease like Lucas Red ’N’ Tacky is recommended.
4. Wheel seal failure
This allows grease to escape into the brake area, starving the bearings of lubrication. It can also allow moisture into the hub and bearing area, causing bearings to rust and thinning the grease.
5. Improper maintenance
This can lead to grease breaking down, hardening, or turning “waxy.”

We have been installing a lot of these bulldog electric jack conversions lately. We have had a lot of great feedback! They utilize your pre existing 12k square tube jack.

Stop in and ask us about our EQ Systems jacks. They sure make getting set up a whole lot faster at those shows!
