    So.

    The auto tire inflators I ordered for trailer have arrived at home, the plan!
    Get up early.. 0300... maybe 0400, get from Lebanon passed Crashville, through the Slums of Memphis, on to the house, put some oil on the ends, and that heater hose over the ends that hook to the inside tires.

    So that along with my 340 miles from home, and any other odd job I can make for myself....
    This truck that pulled in, must not realize, the purpose of the 3 bobtail parking spots and a 48’ flatbed will leave his shiny hood in middle of the lot.

    So you going to do them yourself? The ones on LS trailers have a shaft inside the axle. When that little strator tube gets a little bend in it, it leaks. Someother seal inside there goes bad too, and they have to pull the axle to get to it.

    Not even a fan of those.

    I don't get flats very often but I have auto inflators. I pull up in front of the shop, and tell whoevers there "I think I got a low tire." Then magically, they check it and then take care of it. Its good to be old.

    All our trailer have had them... They have saved me from having road service calls more once. It even REINFLATED from completely flat and kept this tire (on a fully loaded trailer) inflated long enough to get to a tire shop.

    I'm blown away that these zero circle lawn mowers have 25-40 hp engines. I used to help farm with John Deere field tractors that didn't have much more that, and I was pulling loaded grain wagons.
