Jockey wheel bolt's
Posted: Wed Nov 08, 2017 6:06 pm
G'day chap's, but not really in my case after an 1-inch bolt snapped on my jockey wheel while i was hand balling it 
.
While having a large move around of my trinket's to make room for another small shed i first have to move quite a few trinket's so i loaded them over a period of time into my sankey which is the larger type.
Now as most know these don't have jockey wheel's
well this one didn't but had provision for one so i fixed the larger screw type and all worked well till today when one of the bolt's fractured while i was hand balling it loaded.
Before anyone jump's on my back i was not lifting but just pushing due to the jockey wheel being one of those that has a tubed tyre on it with a screwed shank, i know it was well loaded but with some good inch bolt's washer's and nut's thought it would be ok i thought wrong.
It was while maneuvering it one of the bolt's snapped and down i went like a lead weight
and wow did that hurt, yes i know it was my own fault but i thought when i chose the bolt's they were high tensile 
, it turn's out one of them was but the other looked the same but wasn't hence why it snapped.
After a brew and few heated word's at the trailer i jacked it up fitted a good bolt and jockey wheel and it is ready for another day not that i am though but we will see.
Catch you later. R-Rose
