Guys I have a problem that Im hoping you can shed some light on. Around easter I bought a old KW, and a even older Rodgers fixed neck lowboy. The lowboy runs 9.00x15.00 tires. The tires run extremely hot. I blew 2 out in august hauling my excavator. I didnt think much of it because they were old, it was 90 something degrees, and it looking like i had ran over something. Fast forward to this monday. Im hauling the excavator back home. It was in the mid 70's and when i stopped 20mi into my trip they were hot. You could put your hands on them but compared to the tires on the KW they were blazing. The 2 new ones(have around 40mi on them) were the hottest! That really puzzled me. They are properly inflated, the bearings arent tight, brakes aren't dragging, and the excavator only ways 22 ton(trailer is rated for 35ton). The only thing Dad and I can come up with is the amount of wobble in the wheels(they arent budd's, i think there called daytons?) is what is building heat. The flip side of that argument is that even thought they wobble it cant be to severe because the nubbies arent even worn off the two new ones. We made it home(Dad had the foresight to bring 4 five gallon pails full of water) by stopping every 20 to 30 mi and watering them down, and keeping our speed around 60 to 65. It turned a 3hr trip into very aggravating affair. Do you guys have any thoughts on this. I'm desperately searching for a affordable 2 axle detach neck, but I would probably keep this and my hard earned cash if i could get this one lined out. Thanks in advance for your time and trouble.

Today's Featured Article - Earthmaster Project Progress Just a little update on my Earthmaster......it's back from the dead! I pulled the head, and soaked the stuck valves with mystery oil overnight, re-installed the head, and bingo, the compression returned. But alas, my carb foiled me again, it would fire a second then flood out. After numerous dead ends for a replacement carb, I went to work fixing mine.I soldered new floats on the float arm, they came from an old motorcycle carb, replaced the packing on the throttle shaft with o-rings, cut new ga
