I didn't understand Bill's explanation.
Are you calling the drive wheels "the tandem" here? I know that the dictionary definition of tandems just means two things that work together, but I've never seen or heard anyone call the drive wheels the tandem before. Every other time I've seen or heard tandem in my career, people were referring to the trailer wheels. That's why I have to ask.

What does Hammer166 mean?
I always strive to make myself crystal clear. For example, look at my post #128. I went to the trouble of drawing a picture to explain my definition of a "tighter turn" and a "tighter turning radius". I wish everyone else would strive to be clear as well. -

The drives are a specific type of tandem axle. The context, despite the attempts at muddling, is quite clear.

I was parked at a truck stop last night at the end of the row where everyone was entering. I started reading this thread, and moved my truck asap.
