    no I'm sure there is no chapter in any book about how to slide trailer tandems. it's a very simple system that any mechanic with any knowledge can figure out pretty easy. it's not like rebuilding an engine that you need to know specific things for that specific engine. much of this stuff is basic. so basic it doesn't need covered in a mechanic school or its just learned on the job.

    Mmmmm Office Depot crayons have a lot more flavor, little more pricey , but taste is important.

    IMG_1006.jpeg Good thing my wife picked these up the other day. The caption on the front of the box says it all! Major perk: you can sharpen these alooooot more often than a crayon. And, there are 4 shades of yellow!!! Those are so I can use different shades for different threads, kinda helps us all keep ‘em straight

    Must have been a cheap school! Successful mechanics don’t end up driving Volvos.

    Hadn’t thought of that! I run paper logs as well, so we definitely need to figure it out! If you have a bent wheel, we should probably use red, for emergency.:Police car v2:
