The IGNORE button is great but there's a downside to it. We used to have a driver on here that told so many tall tales, irritated so many people, and passed out so much bad information that eventually almost everyone had him on IGNORE.
Since only people who didn't know any better would answer his posts he was soon reduced to basically talking to himself.
He, in effect, banned himself. Hardly anyone noticed. -
Asking for a “fiend”?

We frown on fiends around here, mister.

I have a tire losing air on my regular wagon, but it’s such a slow leak you can’t hear it. I probably won’t be able to find it until the next time it rains.Thrasher28, Kyle G. and Sons Hero Thank this.

I had a tire like that on 1 of our trailers, been fighting it for 2 years, but it would only leak low enough to need air about once a month. Had it off twice trying to fix it, but couldn’t find anything in it. Younger brother just told me yesterday he took it off again, and found a tiny screw in it. He said the head was pulled in with the rubber closed over top, and such a tiny bit of it was through it barely scratched the back of his hand when he was checking the tire. Hopefully he got it!

You sure seem to make the simplest things complicated. If you take the rubber plug out you can stick your finger in and if you pull the finger out it will have oil on it. Because the hubs are an oil bath hubs. They look like the pic below.
Are you really having a hard time with this or are you just trolling like most here think? -
I'm really having a hard time with this. Is the red thing the plug?
-
How is that a downside? It sounds like an upside to me.
