    They ran to their bins last week. They just use us to take it to the dryer.

    Mine has a catch to it and I've never been into mine. Everything is greased so I'm not sure where its at. No time to just throw money at it to find it.

    I'd say air as well. You can pull vacuum at the reservoir and it should draw the air out of the system. Or so I've been told.






    Dad blew a tire out on the second load.

    No sir, brand new. I just replaced the whole shaft when I did the box. It gets hard to turn when I stop and go the other direction. It doesn't matter where I stop at either.

    Dang, that sucks. Tires always screw stuff up. Looks like a nice trailer too.

    Run it stop to stop a half dozen times. Self bleeds. Top off. No need to do any extra. Closed system.

    If stubborn, get the weight off the front.

    Hard against the stop for a few seconds. Then back the other way. Never more than a few seconds against the stops.

    That sucks. Tires, like most things these days are such a crap shoot. Quality control is nonexistent anymore. I run generals on my trailer, can't complain yet. I think they all suck the same these days. I used to be a tool snob bad. I went down to the local harbor freight last time I was home to pick up some things there. Not bad at all. First time I've even set foot in the store. It's all made in China now, so why pay more? I used to be a Michelin snob too. I put double coins on my drives this last time, can't complain there either.
