I had a friend whose family ran a used car lot/salvage yard/towing company/whatever you can ethically hustle business. They would rent out a tow dolly to regular customers in a pinch. The condition was always questionable depending on which garage groupie borrowed it last. When they got really tore up he'd sell them cheap and buy a new one. Usual lifespan was about 2-3 years. Depending on the customers. You're a great friend to fix it up. None of his friends did. I didn't either, but my sowing and reaping was dragging my occasional car there after I'd harvested a few parts I needed for whatever junker I was driving that winter. Eventually I got my own dolly and I was very leery of loaning it out to my friends. I had a friend that had the nasty habit of loading it by unlocking the table, chocking the rear wheels of the towee and backing it under the towee... I only let him borrow mine once.FredLewershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02221076803807309775noreply@blogger.com
