I think you might benefit from putting the weight back on the axle to be honest. Do you have anything like a “ratchet strap” you could use to realign them?
In the past I’ve used long joinery ... |

| The system is so simple I really don't know if this will make any difference, but when you say 'straight swap' did you have a look to see if the wiper cable drive gear (inside the top of the motor) ha ... |

| Obviously the LT230 can happily whine all by itself, but as has been said above, there’s an easy enough way to check which is the culprit, by taking the OD off. (Assuming you have the original PTO c ... |

I was in exactly the same position not so long ago. Original motor stopped working (though as I get older…. I can’t remember what the symptoms were!)
Although I’m increasingly going for genui ... |

Hey Paul,
I have more than one or two hammocks and tarps etc, but living “away up here” it’s much easier to find a quiet spot off the beaten track, usually by canoe.
I have occasionally th ... |

You can carefully drill out the unpainted pop rivets on the outside, slide the wheel arch panel out and then do a proper rust kill and treat that area from both sides.
I'd absolutely support th ... |

I think 4” will fit without spacers, but the 5.25” will need them. I started with the smaller ones, but moved on to the 5.25”.
Whichever side has the wiper motor is the issue. |
