I will be hauling a spit, of unknown condition, approximately 500
miles. I assume the preferred method would be to get all four wheels
off the ground (a car hauler). Unfortunately, my regular vehicles -- a
volvo and a jeep cherokee are not rated to use such a trailer. The
U-Haul version is 2,100# empty. So, I suspect I will have to use the
dolly type arrangement, placing the two front wheels in a cradle.
The spit runs, but hasn't been on the road for approximately 4 years. I
would like some imput or suggestions from you people, but would assume
that I should:
1. Check the rear wheel bearings for greese
2. Check the differential for fluid
3. Is there a recomendation to remove the drive shaft?
This being my first lbc, what tools should I carry with me to complete
this task -- the type fluid and greese?
I would appreciate your comments and/or suggestions.
Best regards,
Ed Hamilton
