    out of curiosity when was the last time the brakes on the IW were overhauled, adjusted at the hub rather than on the cables. cables also stick and stretch.
    when a lorry goes in for a service the brakes are adjusted, we all neglect the brakes on trailers.

    was adjusting the brakes on the vacuum tank last year when a neighbour arrives,

    told me he has a tank 5 years and never adjusted them, if I recall correctly his tractor brakes gives him a lot of grief, wonder why :)

    By adjusting them I presume you mean joining the brake pipe back together after pulling away leaving it plugged in ! Thats all the adjusting I see the brother doing anyhow ha ha

    Can't help you re. Hudson trailers but a friend who is a fitter makes & repairs trailers says that Nugent trailers are the best on the market, they are head and shoulders above Ifor Williams, Hudson etc . regarding quality of material used, welding, galvansing and general design, according to him they are bullet proof, and this guy known his trailers....just something to consider.
