Packed Stude parts this morning (to keep this on topic <g>)

Use it or lose it........................

My beater 16 foot angle iron trailer is mostly used for storage around the
property.
We keep fence posts and fence boards on it as well as the sickle bar
attachment for the Model B tractor...
I knew the tires were shot on it so I pulled them off for replacement.
The rims were so rusted that I could not get them to hold air at all...
Priced out new rims and passed on that idea.
Called 'Tire Kingdom" (the biggest franchise 'round here) and the salesman
said he would call me back.
That was 4 days ago... Pass....
Called my Goodyear connection and was quoted $140 a corner for an 8 ply
mounted and balanced on a new wheel..
I need an 8 ply tire like I need 4 condoms at once....
I went to a local trailer supply place and asked them what they had...
(I had done a little Internet research and found some decent prices at
around a hundred bucks a corner.)
He said that had made a big bulk purchase and had some 4 ply tire and wheel
assemblies for $65 each.
Woohoo! Snapped them up and went home.
Since this trailer has set for many months, I pulled the hubs and looked at
the outer bearings and the grease itself.
Yuck city...
No way I am going to tow with this crud.
2 of the bearing races has corrosion fretting marks where the rollers
rested..
Well, I have 4 bearing kits in a box that was out by the trailer....
Somebody I know (who shall remain nameless, but his name rhymes with Rick
Courtier) packed the box in the POD that was picked up last Wednesday.
Sooooo...
Off to the store to pick up 4 bearing and seal kits...
I just want to roll easy without worries...
