When I was growing up ,we used a trailer that my Dad and uncle had built in 1948.It would hold around 75 square bales.As long I can remember ,it never had a flat.The tires were new in 1948,and were still on it in 1989,when we had the auction. A funny story though: in the '70s,we were hauling wood on the highway,pulling it with the 8n.All of a sudden the left wheel popped off:it had stripped all the lug nuts.It was on a 4 lane highway,a big chunk of wood fell off,and the tire/wheel assembly rolled across the road between the on coming cars,never hitting anything!We pulled off to the side of the road,rolled the fire wood chunk off the road and gathered up the wheel and lug nuts. After a 2nd episode,Dad had someone weld the wheel on to the hub.They had used an old car front straight axle,and there were only 5 lug nuts,when with all the weight it hauled,should have been an 8 lug.But-the tires always held up!Mark.
