I asked the owner if he'd ever repacked the bearings. He hadn't, but he said he pumped grease in to the easy-lube hubs every year. (more on that later)

As I pulled out of his driveway, I manually activated the brakes and they barely worked. I cranked up the gain setting on my integrated brake controller to maximum output, and they worked, but still not very well.
The tires were about half worn out, tread depth wise. They were not the original tires, but the owner towed the trailer a lot, so these newer tires were worn some. He used it to travel to dirt track racing events all over California.
