AMC RULES 36,954 #154 Posted September 11, 2015 (edited) Just swap 'em around...left to right. Edited September 11, 2015 by AMC RULES Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Brian01 481 #155 Posted September 11, 2015 Yes, I know which way they "should" go....but seen several people running them backwards, so I thought maybe got better traction or something...anyway I switch em around today probably. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Front ags go backward for better steering. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

bmsgaffer 2,043 #159 Posted September 11, 2015 When the AG's are backwards and you "dig in" trying to get traction, the rear end can get loose and want to walk side to side. Gets a little twitchy.Similar reasons to why front tires have toe in, helps keep you going straight. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Brian01 481 #160 Posted September 11, 2015 Well, one of the back ones was leaking around the bead, room it off, cleaned the wheel really good, got all the rust off, aired it back up, doesn't appear to be leaking.."yet"But it did mess my new paint up!!!! Tried touching it up with a paint brush, but just looks like poo! So I'll have to repaint it, eventually. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
RedRanger 1,468 #161 Posted September 11, 2015 I've seen a few farmers run ags backwards on the front of their combines. I was told by them that running correct direction, they dig in. Running backward, they float. On a combine, they want flotation.Makes sense if you think about the dynamics of the lugs. Different style lugs act differently as well. If you want to get technical, each style of lug has a different purpose and acts differently in different types of soil. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

kudzu3 323 #168 Posted September 13, 2015 That's excellent, how'd she do that? I've tried every way possible to paint raised letters and just can't do it. I've heard that there's some sort of roller for that but can't find any info on it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
953 nut 51,940 #169 Posted September 13, 2015 The best way I have found to do raised letters is to put several coats of white paint over the lettering and paint the entire hood white so there wont be a color difference. After sufficient drying time has passes spray the red coats and let dry for a couple of days. Using a sanding block with 600 wet and dry paper and a great deal of caution wet sand the red off of the lettering until they are white. Now you can wet sand the entire hood with 1200 being careful around the letters followed by a clear coat. Or I guess you could have Brian's wife come over and do it for you! 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I've heard that there's some sort of roller for that but can't find any info on it. go to Wally World and get some rubber cement. Smear it all over the letter area and let dry. Take a razor blade and slice off the rubber on the flat part of the letter. Paint the letter. The remaining rubber will mask where you don't want paint. When letters are dry wipe off remaining rubber. Done 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
