My wife and I borrowed a friend's 25' tandem-axle horse trailer to move from IL to MO. We swapped out one tire (down to the belts) for the not-much-better spare only 50 miles out... we drove the rest of the way hell bent for leather, as we had no other spares. We pulled in 12 hours and 400 miles later, one tire reduced to shreds, and the other on that side bald as an egg and hot as molten glass. I envisioned angels holding up one side of the trailer and running alongside!

We discovered the filling station and farm service station both closed and abandoned, so we called for a tow to the nearest town for repairs. The rim was still in good shape, so we had a used tire mounted to it.

While this may have been the bread and butter of the belt work in the past (since this is what made the money on many farms), the smaller tasks may have been and still can be its real claim to fame.
