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 - The Revival of a John Deere Combine - by The Red, John Fritz. For several years I had been driving by a farm house on the west side of Indianapolis that had a John Deere combine parked in high weeds in a lot behind the house. The gentleman no longer farmed because the entire area was developed with housing and light industry. I had stopped several times and knocked on the door but no one would answer. My curiosity was up and I wanted to contact the owner. I wanted to see what he planned to do with the combine.
