Yamahopper Posted December 12, 2013 Share Posted December 12, 2013 I am "up" building a older pro built frame that had a 3/4 inch bolt for the piviot point for the wheel arm. It will be replaced with a 1-1/2 solid stub but I do not know how much to tip the stub down. I could also do the stubs stright and put the tube in the arm at a ? degree. House is a bare bones house at 6 foot by 10 foot long. The frame, house and gear will not go over 2500#,s if that helps. This is probably a simple standard angle, but I just do not know how to come up with it. Help please. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eric Wettschreck Posted December 12, 2013 Share Posted December 12, 2013 I just finished re-doing the frame on my house.For the stub axle camber I had the frame level, and cambered the stubs down so the bubble in the level was juuuuuust a bit over the line.Much easier to angle your stub down than try and fanagle some type of camber on the bushing in the arm.

I did the same. Pulled it all over the state this summer and it pulled like a dream. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FF_205 Posted December 13, 2013 Share Posted December 13, 2013 When I welded my stubs in, I went 1 degree positive then when I was done with house the wheels were straight 0 degrees, house weight is around 2800# pounds Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yamahopper Posted December 13, 2013 Author Share Posted December 13, 2013 Thanks for the help. I found a chart that that suggested 1.5 degrees would be a good #. Looks like it is about were your at and yours works, so I try to hit that. Thanks again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
