Two Wire Pigtail Replacement for Grote Trailer Tail Lights

Question

Question:

I have a Wilson livestock trailer. I am needing to replace some clearance wire pigtales. I looks like your part #A46PB is what is needed. But, wire I removed from the trailer is a Grote with a plug-in for the hot lead. Do you have this? Attached is a pic.

Your picture looks like a Plug-and-Go type of connector at the end of the wire. We do not have a 2-wire pigtail that has that type of connector so you would need to hardwire in the new one instead of using the plug in.

You mentioned it was a Grote brand harness. If you can find a part number on it I might be able to confirm if pigtail # A46PB is the correct replacement. We have it listed as a replacement for Grote # 67050.

Since both a ST145/R12 size tire, like the Kenda Karrier S-Trail #AM10130, and a 5.30-12 size tire, like the Kenda K353 #AM10068, fit a 12 inch wheel, a ST145/R12 size tire can replace a 5.30-12 size tire. Keep in mind that these tires do have…

Answer 5

The 5.30-12 tires, being wider, are going to make more contact with the road. This means that the noise, and heat build up will be higher than a 4.80-12 tire but the rolling resistance will actually be less because the tire is larger diameter. The…

Answer 6

Your math is correct in your trailer weight load example. If a fully-loaded tandem axle trailer weighs 4000-lbs then each of the 4 tires will bear 1/4th of that load, or 1000-lbs. In this case a tire rated for 1300-lbs would provide a good safety…

Answer 9

The 205/65-10 and the 20.5 x 8-10 would be very close in size. Assuming that 20.5 is the diameter of the tire and 8 is the width. The Kenda 205/65-10 Bias Trailer Tire with 10 inch White Wheel, #AM3H390, for example, is 8.3 inches wide with a…

A BT8 spindle would have a diameter of .99 of an inch where the bearings would both install and would have a diameter of 1.24 where the great seal would ride. That would require a hub part #AKIHUB-440-2-1K for an idler hub. A BTR spindle would have…

Answer 11

Trailer wheel lug nuts that are 1/2-inch inside diameter typically have a 20-TPI thread pitch (20 threads per inch). Most lug nuts also use a 60-degree-coned profile like #CE11051, but a 90-degree like #STN569 is also available for 9/16-inch studs.…
