Funny thing happened at the beet juice store

I don't know about you guys, but trailers and trailer lights are something that was created to try men's souls. Today I took the loader tractor in to the tire shop to have the tires rims turned to increase the stance/stability and have 664#s of rim guard, aka beet juice added to the rear tires. After the valve stems were changed out to accommodate fluid and the ballast added I put the Case DX33 back on the trailer. Upon loading, found I had a flat tire on the trailer. But since I am at a tire shop, how could it be more convenient. Turned out the valve stem took a chit and failed. Had the other one on that side changed too as that is the side the sun hits.

Cliff notes: Trailer tire took a dump at the tire shop while getting beet juice for the tractor.

Pics or it didn't happen:

 

Glad it happened just where it did!

 

Trailer just wanted some love also.

 

Of all the things that happen, how often is it convenient.??

 

Perhaps, maybe getting back for taking it out in the snow/salt once this Winter.

 

Your equipment looks pristine and obviously well maintained Firewood Bandit.


I am running my 2006 truck and trailers with my 2007 ATV and 1987 and 1991 snowmobiles all winter long on wet salty roads. I go through numerous cans of fluid film to stave off the rust cancer. It helps but I have not been able to stop it all...but I have been able to keep all moving parts functional, everything sound mechanically, and everything looking better than others who don't do anything, except buy new stuff every 5-10 years.
