[A/S] Back to AL



I'm in VA Al.  I have to pull my farm trailers down the Hiway most of the time and down 
the interstate (85) to market in Farmville, VA or South Hill, VA.  I have "Bumped" the 
seals off (we call it) the farm trailers but I mark them first.  I clean the outside with 
emery cloth and put 'em back.  So far, so good.  I mainly want to look at brakes but 
can't resist playing in the grease.  Old geezers piddle too much:-) . A greasy bearing is 
a good bearing to me.  Never had one fail, maybe tomorrow. . .  On the A/S, I have never 
seen a dry bearing in the fifteen years I've owned it.  Put 1500 to 2000 miles a year on 
it, from one fishing hole to another.  A Interstate is rare.  Good luck Al.
