Even economy equipment can be saved



Hand truck issues: 

I worked on an econo handtruck, you know the type, Harbor Freight special.  The tires would not hold air.  Good thing about these is that the wheel rims split apart by removing 4 bolts. 

I removed the inner tubes, inflated and tested each for leaks, none found.  The apparent cause was the really awful Schrader valves (those little things with the pin head in the tire stem).  I replaced the valves in each stem and they now hold air.  Good thing I have so many replacement parts for all facets of small engine repair.

Back to my “day job” tomorrow!!
