YEP, Yesterday I went to get a small travel trailer that was given to me. It sat on property my uncle bought. It had been there for about 15 years. Of coarse the tires were flat. No problem. I took the wheels off my 63 travel trailer. Too small. Went home and took 2 tires off of my car hauler. Went back to put them on. To small. Took a good look. Darn !!! 6 hole rims with large hub. Took them home to replace tires. No 15 inch tires. Took old tires off. Beads didn't look too bad. Rims rusted where they sat flat. Today I took a grinder to old rims. Dressed them up pretty good. Mounted old tires. They held air but leaking a little around bead. Aired up an air tank made from a refrigerant tank and an air tank from and old compressor. Took some lug nuts cuz one side only had one, the other side had three. Went back and mounted one side. The rim would not go on the other side. Center hole too small. What The!!! They look the same. Switched sides with wheels. It would not go on other side either. Oh well, looks like I can catch enough threads to hold it on. Mounted one. NOW WHAT??? lug bolts on other side are smaller. My lug nuts are too big. Went home to get the whole bucket of lug nuts. Went back one tire low, other almost flat. Used refer tank and aired up tire that was almost flat. My 50 ft air hose has a different fitting than the tank. Can't fill the low tire. Trailer tongue 5 ft from new fence. Put an old tire under tongue and drag trailer around to be able to hook up. Now to pull it the 30 miles home. One tire wobbling. An hour and one half to go 30 miles. Pull off the road when vehicles come up behind me. Finally get it home. Inside is a real mess. Pack rats had lived in it for a long time. No sweat. I just want the frame and axle anyway. Wifey comes out, looks it over really close and says "You know, it has never leaked" I say " yeah so" She says, "clean it up , fix what needs fixing. Our neighbor needs a place for her son to stay for when he moves out here from Pennsylvania."
