Sewage tank mod

Tired of the slow noisy drive pulling your sewage tank to the dump station. I was. So I upgraded the wheels from the plastic hard rubber tire to pneumatic tires. So much more easy rolling. The rear axle worked fine but I had to buy a 36" piece 1/2" bar and cut a longer front axle.

Good idea. Now if we could only get those kids with the hot wheels to do the same thing.
