New steel stems. Installed on all tires. $6.00/tire installed. The journey continues on...
-
On the road for a couple months and I have had two tire stem failures within a two week period. The rubber stem on both failed with similar 1/8" to 1/4" horizontal failures. Replacing with steel stems during repairs. Cooper Discoverer HT3 tires on 2022 Oliver II at 50 psi. Causes? *Bad luck, *Tire brand, *Tire age, *PSI, *Tire Pressure Minder, *Rubber stems, *Mountain curve roads, *Driving speed, *Life... Thoughts and wisdom?

I do like your idea of small bolts and Nico nuts. Thanks. -
Missing screws on cabinet cabinet drawers
Gliddenwoods replied to Gliddenwoods's topic in Mechanical & Technical Tips
GJ The problem is simply Oliver failed to install four screws (only two) as required. Nothing more complicated and easy to resolve with two more screws. Just disappointed in Oliver Inc. -
Missing screws on cabinet cabinet drawers
Gliddenwoods posted a topic in Mechanical & Technical Tips
The four upper cabinet drawers of the six have a latch/bracket (wrong words?) underneath in the front that should have four screws in each. Two of the screws go in the side slots and one tightens them after correctly adjusting. After that two more screws should go in the single hole on each side to "lock" in the bracket. On my Oliver the second two screws were never installed and the bracket after months of use moves and drawer closing fails somewhat. Maybe check yours and fix the Oliver construction error. Hope Oliver Management reads this and speaks to the staff. -
We were at the Will Rogers museum in Claremore, OK and found a kind unexpected hello greeting note under our windshield wiper from locals Kelley & Debi of Hull 1535. Thanks and hello back from Mary & Bill of Hull 1246 from Wisconsin. Be well.

Andrew, it has been a while since you installed this shade option. Are you still pleased with it? Would you do the same again or would you do the application some how differently? How did you attached the shade? Thanks for the assistance. -

Where do I find the video of the Zarcor Company staff's demonstration of the replacement of the door window in an Oliver that is referred to at the beginning of this thread? -
Do you have (share) the part numbers of the window and any additional items to order to complete the project? Thanks.

NuCamp released this new model recently. As a former NuCamp owner I can share that their trailers are high quality and very well built. The Haven will be a good choice for many. I am not ready to trade in my Oliver (yet) but I sure do like all the natural light and views the NuCamp windows provide; my main complaint regarding my Oliver.

Topgun, (and others) You (and others) have referred tl "cheap" zerks. Without regard to cost what brand(s) of zerks would you purchase if you wanted to obtain the very best zerks available? (Others, please weigh in.) Thanks -

Missing Dexter EZ Flex Hanger Wet Bolt/Zerks
Gliddenwoods replied to Gliddenwoods's topic in Mechanical & Technical Tips
Update and new plan. I have determined that two of the open holes of the three missing Dexter equalizer zerk have little/no remaining threads. Replacement zerks just slip in and fall out. New larger tapped threads would be required. So...the new plan is to replace the existing Dexter equalizers with new equalizers. I have no faith in the equalizer product on my Oliver. I have been in touch with Dexter and I am filing a warranty claim. Not sure how the claim will go, but new equalizers will be installed either way. -

Can not find that (7L279 or 7104126) part number. Who did you order from with that part number? -
Missing Dexter EZ Flex Hanger Wet Bolt/Zerks
Gliddenwoods replied to Gliddenwoods's topic in Mechanical & Technical Tips
Jd123 I have done a fair amount of auto/truck work over the years so this project is doable. At this point I am really trying to decide to lower the equalizer by removing the equalizer hanging bracket bolt OR remove the leaf spring connection to the equalizer to lower the equalizer. Your thoughts? -
Missing Dexter EZ Flex Hanger Wet Bolt/Zerks
Gliddenwoods replied to Gliddenwoods's topic in Mechanical & Technical Tips
One last question to all who have been so helpful. Should I release the leaf spring shackles on one side of the equalizer to drop/lower the equalizer to install new zerks? OR Should I remove the equalizer hanger bracket center bolt to drop/lower the equalizer to install the new zerks? (I am still going to try to install the zerks without lowering the equalizer...but I know that likely will not work.) Thanks to all. -

Gliddenwoods replied to Gliddenwoods's topic in Mechanical & Technical Tips
ScubaRx While cleaning the area today I thought when I have the parts I would give it a go without dropping the equalizer. Previous comments made that sound impossible...but still will try. Still flexible with long fingers... You recommended not disconnecting the leaf springs but rather just the center equalizer bolt. Sounds good. Have you done this? Has anyone else? -

Not that I job-out this kind og work. It has been that paired with other work and mostly while traveling. Should be fine...
