A wagon's only as good as it's WORST wheel

So most of you know that we got Jack a red wagon for his birthday. Of course, I couldn't stop there - the trailer, canopy and liner were must have accessories. Today we ventured from our house to the grocery store with Jack in the wagon and the trailer to haul back our weekly provisions. The 'ATV' wagon with it's rubber tires was super quiet, but the trailer rattle noise was unbearable. Check out evidence 'A'
So Jack and I went to Northern Tools to pick up a new set of pneumatic trailer tires. That's right, no more solid steel juggernauts for our wagon trailer. With the wider axle and taller tires in place, we had t0 raise our trailer tounge by 2.5 inches. Pappy had to install a higher hitch on the rear of the wagon to level the load. Aggie engineering at it's best.
Here's the set up now - pneumatic rubber on all six rims. A much smoother ride for Jack and Senior Elephante.

Note the new trailer hitch and personalized plates we picked up on our trip.


Jack kept singing "I got 12 inch blades on my toy haulla, shock colla! " Great Sunday project!! Thanks Pappy!!
