LOL A wheel bearing hub let the wheel bearing(s) go. Had to grind and limp my way back home today. Normal hour drive took almost 2 hours. No fun doing this procedure on the fly in the driveway. Plus it was hot with the sun beating down. Some of those bolts were tough to get loose and mother nature welded. So the 4 ft bar had to come out. ( Orange EMT bender pipe, lower right ) Impact broke the universal too. But I'd do anything to hang out with @Sparky at an engine show! LOL 4 2 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Sparky-(Admin) 20,932 #20 Posted July 20 Great weather this morning, and an even greater bunch of guys to hang with! @wallfish @Retired Wrencher @VinsRJ @grnlark @TonyToro @TonyToro Jr. @whtractors24 @PWL216 @Chris T @Handy Don (hope I didn’t forget anyone) An emergency came up and I had to bail out at 11:30am, but managed to snag a few pics earlier. 4 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

wallfish 16,721 #25 Posted July 21 My little bit of goodie haul. Also sold that blue go Kart thingy (pictured above) that was made from adapting a little 2 stroke bicycle engine (donated by @Sparky a couple months ago) to a TSC pedal cart that was bought for my grand kids many years ago. It's fun to drive but a little bit scary as it would easily lift the front tires off the ground when throttling up fast. Real fast steering end to end and a hand brake. It was bought by another old man after I talked him into taking it for a test drive. He came back with a huge smile on his face so we shoehorned it into the back of a RAV4. Hopefully he didn't hurt himself after getting it home and going FWO with it. 6 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
