Airing up the Tires on the Articulated Dump Truck Not sure what caused the tire to go flat like this all of sudden. Of course I could have picked something up. But I'm thinking, when I bought the truck it had a low tire on one side. Don't recall which side now. But when I went back to buy the truck a few days later it was up. I don't think they replaced the tire back then. I think it must have a low pressure leak, like a bad bead seat or something, so once it starts going low, it goes fast! Anyway, with my rigged up system here, I was able to get this one aired back up, and top off a few of the others as well. We'll see how long it holds up.
