[SEL] How to Straighten Spoke in Cart Wheel

[Arnie Fero]

Rob,

I think I've told you about my single axle trailer built on a mobile home
axle and that its a rough riding sumbitch.  Well, as a result of jouncing
from show to show, most of my engine carts now exhibit bent-spoke wheels.

Put me down for one of those Model J-12 Acme Spoke Straighteners.  Be sure
to include the pressure tables.  Thanks!!

See ya,  Arnie
