Remember the good old days when you used to check the oil every time before starting the engine, and adding a quart at times?
I wonder if Ecars have an ammeter to tell if you have a charge before you go?
Herb

P.S. Also check the water in the radiator and the tire pressures!

In the trunk, you carried tire pump, tire patches,tire irons, jack,extra can of motor oil,roll of bailing wire,( to tie up the muffler and tail pipe) if they rattled loose.

I don't get it those 2 wheels are already drive wheels.

Many tandem axle trucks and tractors have only one drive axle.. in fact most are that way..

All the ones I've driven had both driving, provided the air switch was working to lock them. That was about 20 trucks in the last 20 years. If you were on something slippery you couldn't get the tri drives to turn so you only locked up if you couldn't go.

Is the block of wood between a good tip? It seems only good for one revolution.
Maybe chaining both wheels together with an extra long tire chains would work too.

My old 57 1/2 ton [back before they were worth much] had a carrier bearing on the drive shaft. It came off the frame. A pair of pliers and a fallen fence got me down off the mountain.

Interestingly, the thing didn't vibrate going down the road, but I'd seen a 56 bird do a front end wheelie on the track when the front of his drive line dropped, so I got the new carrier on as fast as I could get it.

One of the tandems where I hauled water lost it’s steady bearing too. The driver parked it and gone and I was walking out of the shop and saw the rubber insert laying on the snow. I went back in and crawled under it and all that was there was the steel housing. The driver was both experienced and a good mechanic and he said he never heard or felt a thing. Why it didn’t vibrate baffles me.
