Loose wheel spoke fix
When I posted a question about fixing two loose wheel spokes it was suggested that I use a product called "Chair-Loc". Didn't have any luck finding any of that but went to Jim's Ace Hardward and they had another product called "Tite Chairs". Does the exact same thing. Guys that restore old furniture use it a lot. Anyway, when I got the stuff home I used it around the end of the spokes. When I went back just a few minutes later there was no way I could wiggle the two spokes that had been loose. The wood swells and fills the space---at least that's what I was told. After reading a similar post from a few years ago I decided to try that fix. It seems to have worked for some other T drivers. The two loose spokes were just a tiny bit loose, but I could wiggle them a little. No noise when driving. Anyway, thanks for the help. If I have a problem later I'll let you know.
