I've got a bunch of tires including a (new) old Polaris 1986 Trail Master that need changing out or tubes put in. None of the auto or lawn shops near me will touch them so I bought the Harbor Freight Mini Tire Changer. It gets great reviews even for HF on the internet and seems to do the trick.

Problem is that my front tires don't have a center hole and instead use a few bolts that attached to the axle. All other small tires (go karts, lawn mowers, etc.) have a centered hole that gets bolted on. The HF tire changer is made for tires like this.

Before I start creating custom mods/adapters and such was wondering if any other Polaris owners had figured out how to use this. Or is it just I have a super old ATV and nobody else has this problem...

<<UPDATE>>
Ok so i'm a dumbaXX and was looking again and realized I removed the tire from the mounting that goes on the axle. Sorry to clog up the forum but this should be closed

Looking for any helpful info, thanks in advance. My issue is that when I turn on my ATV the headlights and tail lights do not come on instantly as they should. They do eventually come on but sometimes it takes a few minutes. I have put the ATV in diagnostic mode and the voltage is fine, typically 14+ volts while running. It starts and runs fine. I'm concerned that they will at some point not work at all or go out at a bad time. Any ideas?

Hey. Just thought if anyone wanted in line gauges I would throw up pictures of the ones I've had installed for about a year now. Piece of mind always knowing your fuel pressure quick way to diagnose issues too. Don't mind the mud have yet to wash it from the weekend.

Link for the water temp gauge.

Last week our family and a few friends traveled to Meeker Colorado and rode the Wagon Wheel trail system. We stayed in the town of Meeker for the entire week. Meeker is OHV friendly, so its legal to ride directly from town to the trails. Its also legal to drive in town to restaurants, shop, buy fuel or just drive around. We've been going to Colorado since 2009 (sometimes twice a year) and Meeker is by far the friendliest town we've encountered. Its a farming/ranching community, you won't see any dope smoking hippies and the Subaru to Chevy ratio is pretty low LOL! We rode 5 days and rarely did we encounter another group of riders on the trail the entire day. It gave me the feeling like we were exploring. The trails were very well marked and it reminded a lot of the Paiute Trail system. OK the negative- the trails were fun but could be VERY dusty. I had to clean my air filter about every couple of days. The views were scenic but not nearly as pretty as Silverton or Taylor Park. All in all we had a great time and the weather was very favorable. The wild flowers we encountered were some of the best we've seen! I would not hesitate to go back and recommend for others to visit. We stayed at the White River Inn. It was a great place to stay and was right on the OHV connector trail.

We took the Ranger Crew to haul the family. No atvs on this trip.
