Some months ago, i was getting gasoline at a local station, and a fellow pulled in towing a luggage trailer. I noticed his tires on it were squashing out-a sure sign of under inflation. I asked him if he thought he ought to add some air to those tires, and he said they were fine, even though they had the classic under inflation bulges. He got his gas paid, and left. About five miles down the road, i saw him looking at one of the flats he had gotten. He had a heavy load on that trailer. I didn't stop. Another time, i was entering the PA. Turnpike, when a guy honked his horn and blew past us and into the on-ramp! He was towing a luggage trailer, loaded with much stuff. His tires had the fatal bulge. Five miles or so on the Pike, i saw a really hot small trailer tire lying against the center divider. HMMM! Then i saw the wheel on the center line-hot as hades! And, further on was the whole rig sitting on the berm. The owner was just getting out to see what was wrong. I talked on the CB to a trucker. He said he blew his horn at the driver, as he passed the truck, on the spindle, but got the finger from him! Did we stop to help? Not on your life! Another time, in a camp-ground down near Somerset, a man towed in a luggage trailer, with it riding on the inside rim of the wheel! No tire left except some threads. He said it pulled strangely the last ten miles or so--figured he'd might as well get to the camping place before he stopped! He ended up buying a new axle to fix it.

It’s amazing how a little floor jack can lift tons and tons of weight with just the flick of a handle. What’s even more amazing is that all the principals of hydraulic theory can be wrapped up in such a small package. This same package applies to any hydraulic system from the largest bulldozer to the oldest and smallest tractor. This short series will take a look at the basic layout of a simple hydraul
