Hey Israel, the only difference between the 3" Wide Continuous Hinge # MA65VR and the 3" Wide Continuous Hinge # MA45VR is that # MA65VR is .09" thick while # MA45VR is .075" thick. The # MA65VR is also .062" longer than # MA45VR. Apart from the .015" difference in thickness between the two, and the .062" of additional length, they are the exact same.

If there is something else I can help you with, please feel free to drop a comment and let me know!

Good question, Tina - you’re in the safe zone with the M-3 aluminum plate #M348FR. It’s 3/16 inch thick and fully welded across the piano hinge (some cheaper ones are just bolted instead of welded), so even with heavy mowers or small tractors, it…

Marlboro does not list weight capacities for either the #MA75VR or the #MA45VR that you referenced. They state it will be up to the installer to determine the appropriate weight capacity. We also do not have this in a 3 foot length.

Hey Tim, I have attached a chart that shows all of the recommended torque specs for trailer wheels. I am not sure of the exact stud size your 2017 Forest River Thunderbolt uses, but it is probably either 1/2" or 9/16". If they are 1/2"…
