q Please tell me whether the NTH
wheel on a semi-tractor should be di-
r,vtly over the rear axle or not. II not,
should IL be forward or back OF the axle
and how far?---F. Gilhnch.
A.-Experience has shown that II the
fifth wheel is centred over the axle II Is
very difficult TO control the trailer In
backing. and also very difficult to line
up the kingbolt In coupling up. For thir
ason IL IL the practice OF the best trac-
tor and trailer people TO mount the NTH
wheel slightly ahead OF the axle. Just
enough 10 give the kingbolt a little side
wise swing when the tractor IL manoeu-
vred, but not enough to seriously change
the load distribution. IT should never
be located back OF the axle. for this VIII
cause a large part OF the front wheel
load to be taken off and added to tho
rear wheel load. making the tractor diff
ficult To steer. The exact distance for
ward which the nth wheel should be
depends upon the wheelbase OF the
trailer The longer the wheelbase the
greater distance forward About one

ON a chain driven motor truck
what is the proper tension for the chains
and what Is the best method to adjust
them Howard Gore.
A.-The driving chains themselves
have no adjustment. but their sproclet
centres may be adjusted by means of
the radius rods The proper tension Is
such that with the truck stationary and
the brakes released II is possible to lift
the chain two inches at its middle, be-
tween sprockets. To secure this adj
justment. back away the lock nut on the
radius rod on the side whose chain is
highest. Then turn the adjusting nut
until this tension In reached on the
main. counting the faces Of the nut
Now turn down the lock nut and make
a like adjustment on the other radius
rod. being sure that the adjusting nut Is
turned exactly the same number OF
faces. No attention should be paid TO
the looseness Of the other chain. since to
adjust It's radius rod TO the same ten
sion will throw the axle out OF line and
so must not be done. This naturally as
sumes that the axle Is square to start
out with. II not It's alignment may be
checked by measuring the distance from
the centre OF the front sprocket to the
centre of the axle on each side. This
distance must be the same on both
sides
