A. Adds traction to the tractor. 

B. This is a dumping trailer. The back of the trailer touches the ground at full tilt.

If the tractor loading guy had moved the tractor farther forward on the trailer, of course, the truck's rear tires would’ve been back on the ground. Lucky he wasn’t killed chasing the rig.

After work, the bezel had dried fully so on it went for now. I still need to add the chrome accents and horse but that’s the easy part. It’s getting there piece by piece.

@Damien Walker those caps are the same size , for the wheel axel  end and the vertical axel end top point , very easy to  try one on , and keep in grease , and keep out crud . this is not in the book , dare to try  something , pete

But there's nothing to slip them over. On all of my tractors, the spindle pokes out of the top of the axle casting by only enough to secure it with a circlip...my guess is that the 'upstand' is therefore no more than 1/8" (including the circlip) or thereabouts...surely nowhere near enough to guarantee that the cap wouldn't just pop off and end up in the mower?
