Solid, hard rubber tires were first started in England around 1865 as a protective measure to driving on cobblestone streets. Steel tires hammered on the cobblestone, jarring not only the wheels, but also the passengers carried in the carriages. Hard rubber tires cushioned the blows from the cobblestones, thus prolonging the wheel's life, plus adding to the serenity of the passengers. Today, these rubber tires aid in driving on hard pavement and gravel roads and are widely used on all designs and sizes of carriages, wagons and buggies. This video helps demonstrate the process on installing hard rubber tires.
Many of you are interested in the tire bolts and rivets I use in my videos. Since I use a large number of these, I do keep them in stock. An email to dave@engelscoachshop.com will get you a list of available sizes and pricing.
In response to a number of requests for the tools and supplies I use here in the shop, I have compiled a list as an Amazon Associate. I have used Makita tools for almost 40 years, but am not sponsored by, nor endorsed by Makita. Perhaps this list will be of service to you as viewers, as well as provide a means to help support this channel.

These are not cheap, home improvement tools. I use tools hard so I use high quality tools. These prove to be less expensive in the long run.
